On this episode of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell welcomes Hildee Weiss, author of Embracing My Inner Athlete, for a conversation about finding your courage and making room for your own dreams.
A wife, mother, and grandmother, Hildee once struggled to believe she could do hard things. After years of being sedentary and prioritizing her family above herself, she shared her dream of running with her trainer. That first step helped launch a journey that would include half marathons, trail races, and Spartan races.
Together, Linda and Hildee explore self confidence, the emotional weight of the scale, and the challenge of making yourself a priority while raising a family. Hildee shares a message for any woman who thinks she has missed her chance: it is never too late to begin pursuing a goal.
