Two Marathons, One Vein Surgery: A Week of Forced Stops and Limitless Starts

Share This Post

We are bringing you an ultimate contrast as we reflect on navigating a profoundly transformative week—at completely different paces. After an unexpected vein surgery, Brooke shares the raw, vulnerable truth about the mental health struggles that surface when life forces you to slow down. Hear her deeply personal journey from limping to trusting that everything will be okay, and how she’s metaphorically pulling back the arrow before her next powerful surge forward.

Meanwhile, Andrea takes us through an almost unimaginable feat: completing two full marathons, a week apart. She’s pulling back the curtain on the intense mindset required to push her body to a new limit, the surprising challenge of a silent yoga retreat she used to recover mid-week, and the hard-earned lessons from a massive physical and mental feat. 

From the elevation pillow to the double finish line, you’ll get an insider look at the mindset shifts, physical tolls, and life-changing takeaways from a week that proved that sometimes, your greatest strength is found in both the full stop and the full send.
