    EP291: What's Your Ironman-like Life Event?
    2026/04/23
    Thank you, Striders. The response to last week's episode really moved me. The shoutouts and questions that came in reminded me of why these conversations matter so much. Last week we talked about the things in life we are constantly training for, and I used the example of my dogs, because raising them into their best selves has always been an ongoing process of patience and intention. The other example I shared was my nephew Logan, who is competing in an Ironman this weekend. Watching him prepare for this has been something else entirely. An Ironman is a 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride, then a full marathon on top of that. He will likely be out there for twelve hours or more. He did not arrive at this start line overnight. He got there through small, steady, intentional steps, building his mileage, learning how to transition between each leg of the race, figuring out how to fuel his body, his mind, and his heart along the way. The training was never just physical. It was about showing up consistently, managing setbacks, honoring short and long term goals, and knowing what he needed in order to keep going when things got hard. Your excitement about last week's episode inspired me to take this idea even further. So many of us are doing something similar every single day, just without the race bib. On today's Wise Walk, we are slowing down to ask ourselves what our Ironman-like event really is, and what we are doing to prepare our body, mind, and heart to go the full distance. What is your Ironman-like event that you have your sights set on, and how are you mentally preparing to take small steps through the planning, the wins, the setbacks, and the short-, medium-, and long-term goals?How are you managing your time and stress as you prepare for this event, knowing that stress is part of taking on something meaningful?How are you fueling your body, your heart, and your mind so you can stay resilient and keep moving forward when challenges arise?As you reflect on this event, how are you rallying support, what are you asking for, who are you asking, and are you clearly expressing why this matters to you?Where can you plan and prepare with focus, discipline, and commitment so you are set up for success, and where might you need to make sacrifices?What needs to come off your plate right now, and what are you trying to juggle that may be draining your energy before, during, or after this event?How are you planning to recover so you can feel aligned and supported once the event is complete?How can you pace yourself with everything you have going on so you finish strong and set yourself up to take on what comes next? I would love to hear what you're preparing for and how you're fueling yourself through it, before, during, and after. Reach out, I'm cheering you on. Don't forget to rally your support so you can set yourself up for success. I'll see you next Thursday for another Wise Walk, and until then, please remember to prioritize fun as you read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride on. In this episode: [04:29] One of the Ironman type events I'm taking on is moving. I found a home. I am mentally, emotionally, physically preparing myself for the big moving event. [05:50] I also want to prepare for the heaviness of unpacking. My sister Heather is going to be there for me. One of the things we can do when training for an Ironman event is rally support. [07:49] One of my loved ones, who will be cheering Logan on, has diabetes. She has been trying to master keeping her blood sugar in check while traveling. She's taking on her own major Ironman challenge.[09:42] We have Ironman-like events in our lives everyday, because it is overcoming hardship. [11:27] I need to prepare for my move by keeping myself mentally and physically strong. Core strength is critical. [12:56] I also cancelled some things that I've signed up for. I won't be settled, so I needed to cancel. [15:09] Logan has an awesome community that he trains with. He was given the advice to take his time, and to stop and remove the discomfort when it surfaces. [17:18] I'm going to try and slow down during this major move.[18:51] Logan also received the advice that you can go further if you go slower.[19:08] Pace yourself to avoid burnout. It requires an intentional focus and pace. Memorable Quotes: "You don't arrive at your biggest moments overnight. You build toward them, one small, intentional step at a time." - Mary Tess"Whatever you're facing right now might not look like an Ironman to anyone else, but if it stretches you, it counts." - Mary Tess"Pacing yourself is not falling behind. It's how you make sure you actually finish strong." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess RooneyEmailHeart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

  • EP290: Growing Into Your Vision & Future Self

    EP290: Growing Into Your Vision & Future Self
    2026/04/16
    My dear friend's son, Doston, just got a German Shepherd puppy. She is small, curious, and already testing boundaries in all the ways puppies do. It is that early stage where behavior is still forming, and it would be easy to overlook the habits that are starting to take shape. I admire how Doston reached out and asked me for advice on how to train her. How to set things up so she grows into a well-behaved, confident dog. That kind of awareness matters. It is easy to get caught up in the moment and assume things will work themselves out, but they do not. Puppies grow quickly, and the behaviors that seem minor in their youth become much more significant over time. When I think about my own dogs today, calm and easy to manage in different environments, I know that outcome came from consistent effort and a clear vision of who I wanted them to become. That idea has stayed with me, because it extends far beyond dogs. The way we show up today directly influences the person we become over time. It is easy to feel stuck or feel that change is hard and it is too late to shift direction, but I do not see it that way. On today's Wise Walk, we are taking a closer look at the future version of ourselves that we want to grow into and what it means to begin training for that version now. Who do you want to become, and is there a future version of yourself you can see or feel within you that you are ready to begin training for now?What qualities and experiences define that version of you, and what small steps can you take to begin moving in that direction and embodying those shifts today?Are your current actions aligned with the version of yourself you want to become?What elements in your environment can you control to better set yourself up for success?What steps, however small, do you know you need to take to move forward and begin acting as if you are already becoming that person?Are you staying true to those actions because you know they are right for you, regardless of what others may think?Can you hold space for your growth and commit to it, even if it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar?Is there a past version of yourself you miss or want to reconnect with, and what from that version can you bring into your present and future?What small steps are you willing to take right now to grow into that person?What distractions or barriers can you remove to better support your progress?What actions can you take each day to stay aligned with the version of yourself you are ready to step into? Each of us has the ability to create the life we are meant for. It starts with staying true to who we are today, while also honoring the version of ourselves we are growing into, and taking actions that align along the way. I would love to hear what resonated with you, so feel free to reach out and share what you are taking with you from today's episode. I look forward to being with you again next Thursday for another Wise Walk. In this episode: [03:54] I had a simple but clear vision for my life with my dogs. It took a lot of work training them to be comfortable with travel and being a car dog. [05:08] I had to start with small steps like driving down the street.[06:01] Now the car is the happy place for both of my dogs.[07:03] I had to see the vision, set us up for success, and control distractions. Controlling the environment can set us all up for success. [08:10] I was mindful to condition my puppies to set them up for success. I started the training at a young age, so they could grow into the version I saw for them.[10:41] All of my actions were aligned with my vision for them.[12:09] One of the visions for my future self is hiking at higher elevations. I'm going to have to work up to that. I have a training plan for my big hike in July.[15:19] I'm so proud of my nephew who has the vision to train and do an ironman competition. That's a 2.4 mile swim, 112 bike ride, and a 26.2 mile marathon. [17:11] I'm going to show up and support my nieces and nephews when I can.

    EP289: Messages We Are Meant to Receive
    2026/04/09
    There are moments when something finds you at just the right time. A quote, a phrase, a random text from someone you love, and it lands in a way that you weren't prepared for. That happened to me this week. A loved one sent me a quote and I couldn't stop thinking about it: "Healing is when you stop telling the story that broke you, and you start telling the story that rebuilt you." Simple words, but they opened up a lot. About the stories we carry, the ones we share with others, the ones we replay in our own heads — and what those stories actually say about where we are. Because the way we tell our story? It doesn't lie. It reflects where we genuinely are in our healing, not where we wish we were or think we should be. On today's Wise Walk, we're slowing down to explore that shift from the story that broke you to the one that rebuilt you. We're getting curious about the messages we receive and what they might be pointing us toward. Because in that curiosity, there's room for real reflection, a little more compassion for ourselves, and genuine gratitude for how far we've actually come. When a message or quote stops you in your tracks and connects on a deep level, do you take time to get curious about why it resonates?Do you reflect on why a particular word, phrase, or sentiment has an impact on you at that moment?Do you consider how it has shown up in your past, how it applies right now, and how it might support you moving forward?What are the stories you are telling right now, to yourself and to others?As you tell that story, do you notice an emotional charge, a sense of still feeling hurt, disappointed, or broken?Are you handling yourself with compassion and giving yourself grace as you acknowledge where you still are in your healing?Are you on the road to healing, and how can you move toward telling your story from a rebuilt perspective?Or are you telling a story that was once heavy, but in this moment you realize just how far you have come?Can you give yourself credit for rebuilding and for allowing yourself to heal from whatever that experience was?What is a message, quote, or phrase you heard on a podcast or radio that deeply connected with you?What is it about that phrase that strikes a chord and where do you see it showing up in your own life?Can you hold compassion for who you were in the past, who you are today, and who you hope to become?Can you give yourself gratitude for prioritizing your healing and for growing into the next version of yourself? This whole community is stronger together when we can honestly acknowledge where we've been and celebrate the rebuilding that followed. As always, I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode, so feel free to reach out. I look forward to joining you next Thursday. Until then, prioritize fun, read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [02:32] "Healing is when you stop telling the story that broke you, and you start telling the story that rebuilt you."[03:42] When we're in the thick of going through an emotional crisis, we think about how this could be happening to me or why is this happening or what did I do wrong? We tell the story from the emotional state and place of the victim.[05:05] I love how the stories we tell are a great framework for whether we've healed from our emotional crisis. [08:05] An emotionally charged story that always comes to mind for me is my divorce. It was a difficult, challenging, and complex experience. [09:02] The healing process of my divorce took a long time, because there were so many different facets. [10:06] When I received the quote, I realized that I have come a long way when it comes to my divorce experience. I am grateful for that.[11:17] When you receive a message that deeply resonates with you, take the time to reflect on why that strikes a chord within you.[13:23] Messages we receive are also an opportunity to have conversations with those that we love. [14:11] You can also discover why these quotes resonate with those you love. [16:40] How your loved ones reflect on the quote can tell you if they've healed. You can also see their growth through their reflections. [17:21] When you receive messages, get curious about how they may apply in your life or of those you love. [18:03] When healing occurs, the way we tell the story changes. Memorable Quotes: "Any time we have growth or a shift, we should give gratitude for just how far we've come." - Mary Tess"We can't get someone to rebuild themselves. We just have to be compassionate listeners." - Mary Tess"When we go through something very challenging and difficult, there could be many layers of disappointment or hurt or brokenness that need to heal. We need to give ourselves compassion in that moment to heal and rebuild." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess RooneyEmailHeart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram
