She wasn't supposed to run.


Hey Reader,

In 1967, a woman laced up her shoes, put on her lipstick, and decided she didn't need anyone's permission.

Neither do you.

Kathrine Switzer (and all other women) had been told she couldn't run the Boston Marathon.

Among the reasons? We were considered too fragile to run that far. 🙄

Kathrine knew that was bull.

So she registered under K.V. Switzer, laced up her shoes, and gave herself permission to run the Boston Marathon.

Today, thousands of women follow in her footsteps.

Whether or not you're a woman or a runner, there is a lesson for all of us in her story.

Don't accept someone else's limitations of you. Don't wait for permission.

Create your own.

Sending love to my running buddies in Boston today including Jennifer, Seth, and Brian: Pack your lunch and get after it! 😉 So impressed by all of you!

XO,

Missy

P.S. Cuse friends - Kathrine was an SU student, and this line made me giggle: "It was in Syracuse, New York, where God first invented snow and never let up." Heard He was still at it yesterday! Sending sunshine from the south!


Personal Support

Kathrine didn't wait for permission — and you don't need to either. If you've been waiting for a sign to invest in yourself, this is it. I'm currently accepting walking clients and in-person clients. Come give yourself permission in real life, one step at a time.

Totten tuning into music

Totten in his radio days Hey Reader, Do you remember the first thought that popped into your mind when you woke up this morning? Was it: “Ugh, I need 3 more hours of sleep.” “Mondays are the worst.” “Today’s going to be a good day.” Our brains start offering us thoughts before our feet even hit the floor. And once you start paying attention, you’ll notice those thoughts usually carry a certain vibe. I like to think of them as music stations. There’s a specific energy behind them that’s worth...

Hey Reader, What are you listening to these days? Podcasts, music, the news, books, meditations? Single speed or sped up? And more importantly… how’s all of that noise making you feel? Energized? Frustrated? Overwhelmed? Calm? Most of us hit play without pausing to think: Will listening to this help fuel me forward or be an energetic drag as I start my week? As you kick off your week - consider pausing before you hit play on your usual routine. And choose a soundtrack that aligns with how you...

Hey Reader, A couple weeks ago, I wrote about my struggle with being a slightly messy human my whole life, and I shared the full story here: I found a gap in my own coaching. Many of you wrote back saying you want to solve this too. Today, I’ll give you a quick inside look at the mindset that has driven me over the past few weeks and has led my home to stay tidier than it’s ever been. You can do this too! Yes, I’ve been implementing strategies you’ve probably heard of before, like the...
