Friction: Why Hard Days Don’t Have to Derail You

Running to Myself with Trisha Stanton

We all have days where nothing feels easy.

The tasks themselves may not be overwhelming… but the resistance, the inconvenience, and the constant interruptions add up. Before you know it, you feel drained, frustrated, and on the edge of unraveling.

In this episode, Trisha talks about something we don’t often name—but all experience: friction.

This episode is both encouraging and practical, offering simple tools you can use in real time when life feels harder than it should.
