Episode Synopsis

You train for months, pour your heart into a goal, and finally cross the finish line—so why does it feel... off afterward? In this episode, we dive into the emotional dip that often follows big accomplishments like a marathon, known as post-race blues. We also explore the psychological concept of arrival fallacy—the idea that reaching a goal will bring lasting happiness, only to realize the feeling is fleeting. I share my own experience in the days following my race, what I’ve learned about sitting in the stillness, and how to move through the emptiness with compassion rather than judgment. Whether you’re coming down from a race, a big life event, or just navigating what’s next, this is your reminder that the in-between is part of the process too. Let’s talk about it.Instagram/TikTok: talia.tartaro
