About this listen
Grief lives in the body as much as in the mind. In this episode, I reflect on how jogging — something I first started to quit smoking — became a way to move through grief after my dad’s passing. My father once told me, “There are racehorses and there are workhorses. The racehorses are fast, but the workhorses are strong.” I’ve carried that with me as I lace up my sneakers and let the rhythm of music, breath, and tears guide me through the anniversaries of loss.
Set to the soundtrack of India Arie’s lyrics, I share how running has become more than exercise — it’s become prayer, release, and healing. Some days it feels like my body remembers grief before my mind does. But in pounding the pavement, I’ve learned that the only way forward is through: embracing pain, leaning into the memories, and reminding myself that this too shall pass.
