In this episode of Change Is Hard, I sit down with endurance coach, triathlete, and marathon swimmer Amy Height to talk about rediscovering fitness, building resilience, and why showing up for yourself matters more than anything.

Amy shares her personal story of transformation—from feeling stuck in her body to finding joy in movement—and how she now helps others make fitness and wellness part of their lives. Our conversation dives into the parallels between running and life, especially when it comes to tackling challenges, overcoming discomfort, and finding the motivation to keep going.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why starting small leads to lasting change.
• How fitness builds mental resilience (and why that’s a game-changer for leaders).
• The importance of accountability and letting yourself be seen in your efforts.
• Simple ways to fit movement into a busy life—even if you’re just starting out.

Whether you’re looking to get back to something you used to love or build new habits, this episode is a reminder that change—though hard—is always worth it.

I hope you find it as inspiring as I did. Listen now and let me know your thoughts!
