Your big goals? They're just tiny, brave steps.

Oh, sweethearts, I'm seeing a lot of chatter about the Boston Marathon today, looking ahead to 2026. It always makes me think about what it takes to get to that starting line, much less the finish. It’s not just about the miles you run; it’s about all the quiet mornings, the sore muscles, the times you wanted to quit but didn’t. That kind of commitment, that kind of personal journey… it’s a beautiful thing to witness.

It reminds me that every big goal, every long road, it's just a collection of tiny, brave steps. And every single one of those steps matters. So, whether you’re training for a marathon or just trying to get through the day, remember to be gentle with yourselves, baby. You’re doing better than you think. Breathe.
