At any given moment, we can identify handfuls of missteps, mistakes, and failures that we feel we have made from the moment we woke up. And teasing out any win’s or succusses seems like an impossible task. If we allow a moment for our rational thoughts to catch up to our irrational thoughts, we would know this is simply not true. Yet many of us are running this race every day, and finding ourselves exhausted before the starting gun has even sounded. Perhaps there is a better way.
In this deeply personal conversation with our friend Katie, we explore some of the ways we can learn to meet ourselves in these moments and tease out the truth; that we have worked hard for many wins every day, even on the days that seem the darkest. Katie shares with us how she is working to find hope in the valleys and enjoy the vistas of the high peaks. Follow Katie on Instagram @katie.vsg. We are so thankful for her friendship and willingness to speak so truthfully about her struggles and setbacks.
