Most of us underestimate what we are capable of and sell ourselves short simply because of a lack of mental toughness. Last fall, what started off as a simple text about 75 Hard sparked something that neither Abby Weiler or I were expecting. On this episode of Unwritten: Your Authentic Story, we share our experience and the "secret" to our physical and mental transformations...consistency, hard work, and enjoying the journey.

If we are not careful, it can be easy to look around and take so many of the things, opportunities, and experiences we enjoy for granted. On this episode of Unwritten: Your Authentic Story, Abby Weiler tells her story of coming to the United States from Africa when she was 8 years old as she and her mom left their home in search of something more. Growing up in South Dakota and now having a family of her own, Abby is very aware of and thankful for what she has because of the risk her Mom took in leaving her family and coming to the U.S.

Here it is...the 10th episode of the podcast, and Trista had a few gems that did not make it in their original episodes due to time. But they were too good not to share so it is all thrown together in a way that is hopefully not too much of a mishmash. From the fun and experience of having your own podcast and a shoutout to The Rural Revolution to owning the gifts you have been given, enjoy these tidbits of wisdom in this week's episode.

A new podcast is dropping today but first, I wanted to share this from last week's podcast on infertility. It is National Infertility Awareness Week, and infertility is something 1 in 8 parents have to face. You don't always know what people are going through and sometimes those seemingly harmless carry a lot of weight and hurt.

Calling all perfectionists and control freaks!!!

This episode is for YOU! Don't miss hearing from Abigail Cogley as she talks about how she used to control every relationship in her life and help others to the point of resentment under the guise of service.

She shares how it took what she calls a personal "train wreck" to shift how she approaches life. Through boundaries and compassion, she has learned to ask for help and recognize how vulnerability and giving up the perfectionism can lead to better and more authentic relationships.
