I think about this all the time, weighing up my passions to see where the love is strongest for those 100 miles. Thanks for the thought provoking post!

Same! It's helped me say no to more things I shouldn't be saying yes to.

I finally feel as if I have something to say! ;)

I just shared this podcast to my LinkedIn and here’s what I shared…

It hit me that I HAVE found my ‘metaphorical ultramarathon’! Learning last year I am #Neurodivergent (and possibly multiply ND) has brought me more joy and happiness than I could have hoped for at this stage in my life. It’s amazing how freeing it has been to embrace all of my ‘sparkling awkwardness’ and a life of being fearlessly authentic. My Neurodivergent strengths/traits are the reason my career choice has been so fulfilling and I’m looking forward to what’s next on my journey of self-discovery!

"metaphorical ultramarathon" better not refer to writing. Because anyone who runs a hundred miles isn't just in good shape. They're insane : )

You could make the argument that anyone who finishes a novel is also insane...
