As a new month approaches, I think about the past month — the highs, lows, and everything in between — along with where to take things in the month ahead.
When it comes to social media, I’ve felt stuck recently — at a bit of a crossroad with where to take .
The vision is clear: I want to coach athletes to reach their full potential; I want to bring women together by hosting group runs and retreats, breaking down barriers and creating an inclusive community; I want to develop a scholarship fund for girls and help them foster a healthy relationship with running through educational workshops and events.
And yet, the action taken to truly move the needle? Not a lot, if I’m being honest (aside from coaching, which has been at the forefront recently and hosting monthly group runs).
With a 9-5 day job, attending to a new home, investing more into personal relationships, and juggling the other buckets in life (all of which I very much appreciate), the dream of SRC seems out of reach sometimes. And honestly, the social media aspect (numbers, followers, reels, reach — a crucial part of the puzzle) feels straight up overwhelming.
What I love most about SRC is connecting other women, empowering them to go after their goals, and fostering a healthy relationship with sport — much of which happens in the real world, over conversations and connections, not necessarily over boxes on Instagram.
All this to say, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by a goal (particularly around your purpose), break it down into chunks:
-Who are you serving?
-What are you doing to help?
-Why are you doing it?
While that doesn’t answer the “How” piece, it has made me realize how simple the answer can be when we remember these three things. For the “How,” I’d ask yourself: what is the single next step you need to take?
For me today, as simple as it may be, that is announcing our next group run.
