I’m joined by Winnipeg runner Darolyn Walker for a powerful and perspective-shifting conversation about running, resilience, and redefining what success looks like.

Darolyn’s story spans more than two decades — from competing at a high level in her university and national track days, to navigating a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in her mid-20s, to raising three children while continuing to train, race, and adapt through unpredictable health challenges.

We focus in particular on her remarkable performance at the Boston Marathon, where she ran 3:05:37 while living with MS — a result that sits at the intersection of high level performance and deep gratitude for simply being able to run.

But this conversation isn’t really about times or records. It’s about identity, acceptance, letting go of old definitions of success, and finding meaning in movement through changing seasons of life.
