What we’re used to becomes our baseline — the people we spend time with, the spaces we’re in, the media we consume, even the air we breathe.

But sometimes, there’s a quiet nudge inside reminding us there’s more:
🌿 More joy.
🌿 More freedom.
🌿 More expression.
🌿 More life to be lived.

This year, I’m training for something big — my first 100k (a 64-mile trail run, all in one go).

When I share this, the responses couldn’t be more different:
— Sometimes people look at me wide-eyed, unsure how to even picture it.
— Sometimes people get excited,, telling stories of their own endurance adventures, and suddenly the vision of what’s possible expands.

The more I hear from people who've done multiple hundred milers, the thought of doing 60 miles doesn't seem as far.

Even on the trails, it shows up:
— Running down a mountain alone, I hear: “Be careful!”
— Running down a mountain with a friend, I hear: “This is fun — when are we going to do it again?!”

Same act. Same me. Different environment.

And here’s the thing: when your environment reflects possibility, it doesn’t just feel lighter — it pulls you forward.

When it doesn’t, it can feel like swimming upstream.

💡 This week’s invitation: Notice the environments you’re in.
Which ones are simply familiar?
Which ones truly hold you as you become who you’re meant to be?

Until next week,

Leslie
