I fiercely tried to combat my rage with that logical thought kind of how, The Week Prior, when I'd had a panic attack at work when a candidate placement I'd made fell through, I was able to mentally remind myself that the result would not be me getting fired.
Picture this: you've just crossed the finish line of a marathon, but the real race has only just begun. In Part II of 'Dry Run: A Memoir', Nikki MacCallum takes us beyond the physical endurance test to explore the emotional aftermath of her marathon run, which she undertook to reconnect with her father, a recovering alcoholic. This episode dives deep into Nikki's personal battles with addiction and the complexities of maintaining family bonds amidst recovery.
Featuring voices like Patrick McCartney as her dad and Dina Laura as her mom, the episode brings to life the raw, unfiltered reality of addiction and the long road to healing. Nikki's candid reflections reveal the grit and determination needed to overcome self-doubt and fear, showcasing how running became a metaphor for her journey towards emotional resilience. As she poignantly puts it, 'life is a series of resetting goals and readjusting expectations'.
This episode is a testament to the power of perseverance and the strength found in vulnerability. Perfect for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this story will touch your heart and perhaps inspire your own journey of healing.
