Roxi and I recently had a chance to reflect on our shared journey: a journey that began when she reached out to work with me through my Rebirth Leadership Coaching Program after we met during the 100km ultra run in Cambodia.

What started as a physical challenge became a doorway to something much deeper:

a space for reflection, inner strength, and honest transformation.

Step by step, breath by breath, we discovered that leadership like endurance running which is not about speed, but about presence, resilience, and listening to what truly matters.

Looking back, we both smiled at how life connects people at exactly the right moment, through experiences that test the body, open the heart, and awaken the soul.

Some journeys begin with a single step.

Others begin with a long run — and become a lifelong unfolding.
