About this listen

What does it take for a busy mother to train for her first marathon? In this episode, we sit down with Annemarie Seddon who decided to chase a bold goal—not for a podium finish, but for herself.

Balancing work, family, and the nonstop demands of everyday life, she carved out time to train, push through self-doubt, and ultimately cross the marathon finish line.

She shares the realities of training while raising kids, the sacrifices and small victories along the way, and why choosing to do something just for herself became one of the most powerful decisions she’s made. More than a race, this marathon became a lesson in resilience, discipline, and self-belief—and a way to show her children what’s possible when you commit to your goals.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt too busy, too tired, or too unsure to start.

Her story proves that you don’t need perfect conditions—just the courage to begin.
