I often wondered why I was so afraid of failure. I couldn't let myself down and, more importantly, as an only child I was all my parents had if I fell below four miles at.
Ever felt like life is one long marathon with hurdles at every turn? Nikki MacCallum knows that feeling all too well. In this gripping episode of 'Dry Run: A Memoir', Nikki takes us to mile 17 of the Providence Marathon, where the physical pain of chafing mirrors the emotional battles she faces. As an only child, Nikki has always felt the pressure to meet her parents' high expectations, driving her to seek validation through physical feats.
But it's not just the marathon that's tough; she also opens up about her experiences auditioning in New York City, dealing with rejection, and facing heartbreak in her dating life. Despite the pain and setbacks, Nikki's story is one of resilience and determination. She pushes through the discomfort to complete the mile, showing that perseverance can lead to hope and healing. This episode is a raw and inspiring listen for anyone who's ever faced their own marathon of challenges.
