I’m a Life and Mindset Coach for women—and before that, I was a runner. Before I became a runner, though, I saw my life—and my possibilities—very differently. It was through countless miles on the road and trail that something began to shift. Running didn’t just change my body; it expanded my mind. It taught me that I was capable of so much more than I ever believed. Through failures, victories, and everything in between, I started to see myself—and life itself—in a whole new way. This podcast is my chance to share that journey with you. Maybe you’ll recognize parts of your own story here. Maybe you’ll start to think differently about what’s possible for you, too. Welcome to Running to Myself. I’m so glad you’re here.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-22T18:18:29.906832+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/running-to-myself-7040526"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 69: Nothing Says “Merry Christmas” Like a Webster’s Dictionary","slug":"episode-69-nothing-says-merry-christmas-like-a-webster-s-dictionary","published_at":"2025-12-22T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/running-to-myself-7040526/episode-69-nothing-says-merry-christmas-like-a-webster-s-dictionary","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/running-to-myself-7040526","url":"https://www.trishastanton.com/podcasts/running-to-myself/episodes/2149115003","audio_url":"https://app.kajabi.com/podcasts/medias/2149115003.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Running to Myself , Trisha brings back one of her all-time favorite Christmas memories, a story some listeners may remember, but one that is absolutely worth hearing again. What starts as a nostalgic trip back to childhood traditions becomes a powerful lesson about unmet expectations, perspective, and the surprising gifts that often reveal themselves long after the moment has passed. Trisha shares the now-legendary “year of the dictionary,” a Christmas Eve surprise that fell painfully short of childhood hopes… and yet became the one gift her entire family still treasures, laughs about, and retells decades later. Through this story, she invites us to reconsider the moments in our own lives that didn’t go the way we planned  and to look for the hidden gifts that only time and perspective can show us. In this episode, you’ll hear: The nostalgic Christmas traditions that shaped Trisha’s childhood • The excitement and anticipation around her Aunt Carol’s iconic group gifts • The legendary sleds, bean bag chairs, and the unforgettable year of the Webster’s Dictionary • How a disappointing moment turned into decades of joy, laughter, and bonding • Why unmet expectations often lead to unexpected gifts • How midlife perspective helps us connect the dots between past disappointments and present growth Key Themes: Unmet expectations can feel heavy, but they often carry something meaningful beneath the surface • Many of life’s best outcomes come from plans we never would’ve chosen • Time offers clarity we can’t access in the moment • Perspective softens disappointment and opens us to new possibilities • The things we want most aren’t always the things we need most A Reflection for You: Think of one moment in your life where you didn’t get what you wanted an…","meta_description":"In this episode of Running to Myself , Trisha brings back one of her all-time favorite Christmas memories, a story some listeners may remember, but one th…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":506,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/running-to-myself-7040526/episodes/episode-69-nothing-says-merry-christmas-like-a-webster-s-dictionary/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/running-to-myself-7040526/episode-69-nothing-says-merry-christmas-like-a-webster-s-dictionary.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
