💡 Episode Summary:

In this episode of Running to Myself, Trisha shares a simple moment from a run that turned into a powerful metaphor for life and mindset. What looked like a squirrel from far away turned out to be something entirely different—a fallen tree branch. This experience invites us to reflect on how often we misjudge people, situations, or even ourselves simply because we’re observing from a distance.

What if the clarity you're seeking only comes when you move in closer? What if understanding—true, deep, healing understanding—requires curiosity over judgment?

Through stories, reflection, and a life coaching lens, Trisha explores the transformative power of perspective and why choosing to "lean in" is one of the most courageous things we can do.

🔑 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

Why assumptions are often inaccurate—and what to do instead
How curiosity can shift our mindset from judgment to compassion
The importance of moving closer to the people and situations we don’t understand
How this principle can change how you relate to yourself in moments of struggle
Encouragement for anyone feeling misunderstood, stuck, or discouraged

🧭 Whether you're navigating personal challenges, walking alongside a loved one who’s struggling, or trying to better understand your own inner world—this episode is a reminder:

Sometimes the only way to see clearly is to get closer.
