This Is How I Disciplined My Kids
In this episode, I’m answering your burning questions from running and parenting, to health and lifestyle.
My First 32K Race: Everything that went wrong (and what got me through)
Running at 4 PM in Vermosa was brutal heat and zero shade. I forgot my charger, wore black, and didn’t feel the runner’s high at all. From 15K onwards, it was pure survival mode (snacks and Coke from the aid stations kept me alive). Running isn’t just about distance or speed—it’s about discipline, humility, and resilience. The same way you prepare for a race is how you prepare for life: with consistency, grit, and faith.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That verse carried me through every kilometer of my run.”
Why you need a proper training plan
- If you can afford it, get a coach. Human expertise and encouragement beat AI any day.
- Progress gradually. I went from 5K to my first half-marathon over 5 months.
- Don’t obsess over fancy gear. Good, stable shoes are enough when you’re starting out.
Parenting with routines and boundaries
Our family thrives in routine: consistent wake-up, meals, and bedtime keep the household grounded. Kids don’t need 24/7 play, they can be included in adulting activities. Discipline in our home means setting clear boundaries and a calm corner where our kids can process big emotions respectfully. We’re not just raising kids; we’re shaping little humans who will one day live out their own purpose.
Healing from PCOS through lifestyle changes
I was diagnosed at 18, but reversed it through radical lifestyle changes. The key shifts are more movement, better nutrition, less processed food, sleep, and holistic health practices. Medicine only managed symptoms, but living healthy truly transformed my body. Here are some things you can do too:
1. Prioritize holistic health.
Healing PCOS wasn’t about a quick fix; it took years of diet changes, exercise, and stress management. I realized that my health isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, spiritual, and mental too.
2. Focus on what you can control
Rather than dwelling on what your body can’t do, celebrate small wins: better sleep, clearer skin, or improved energy. Instead of focusing on what’s broken, I started celebrating the small victories my body was giving me.
3. Stay consistent.
Transformation comes from long-term commitment, not overnight results. Healing didn’t happen overnight. It was the fruit of years of small, intentional choices.
“Whether it’s running, parenting, or health, progress takes discipline, patience, and grace. Start small, stay consistent, and never forget to anchor your journey in faith.”
