A rough start doesn't mean a bad week! Week in my life

Welcome to my latest vlog where I take you through a rollercoaster week filled with doubt, struggles, and ultimately triumph. Join me as I navigate the uncertainty of whether my husband would keep his job, battling with relentless negative self-talk, and pushing through the doubts that plagued me even during a challenging 5K run.
In this video, I share raw and honest moments of vulnerability, but more importantly, I showcase the power of resilience and self-empowerment.
Whether you're facing your own uncertainties, dealing with negative self-talk, or striving to achieve your goals, this vlog offers insights, inspiration, and practical tips to help you navigate your journey and emerge stronger on the other side. Join me as we discover the path to empowerment together in the heart of Struggle City.

Huge congratulations on finishing the race and achieving your time goal! Awesome!
So happy that your husband is keeping his job! Absolutely wonderful news and peace of mind on that front for you both!
Thanks again for another encouraging video! I definitely understand trying to beat back the voice bully! I appreciate your tips!

Thank you so much!! It's definitely a relief to have less uncertainty to deal with

That’s so fun that you and your hubs ran together in the 5k!
All the prep and training and then accomplishing your time goal must have felt rewarding.
Negative self talk happens sometimes, but what’s great is that you noticed it and changed how you thought about it! (When I get like that, just taking note of those types of negative thoughts weakens them and strengthens the positive. So, I guess in a way I’m trying to retrain the brain. ; )
What a nice way to end your week- with good news, good vibes, and good food!
Have a sunny day : )

Hey Katie! Thanks for commenting here :-) The 5K was super fun. Also because it's local, don't have to go anywhere far. I didn't put it in th evideo but we had Jupiter donuts afterwards. Delicious! Don't know if you have much of a sweet tooth, if you do you MUST try their donuts.

@@LucindaLives Hey Lucinda! We have driven by Jupiter Donuts before but never tried them out. After you recommended and we checked the menu, they will definitely be getting a visit soon!

Have you done a 10k ?

[@LucindaLives]

Yup, done 10K races, half marathons and full marathons. The half marathon is my favorite. This 5K was part of the training
