Mom's Adventure Paradox

Story of the Day

In this minisode, I reflect on my recent ski trip to Italy and my practice of identifying a “story of the day” throughout the journey. I share five key stories from the trip:

Day 1 – The Injury & Perseverance: Our group, led by Crystal Wright, set out with enthusiasm, but early on, a skilled skier injured her knee. Despite the pain, she pushed through and skied a treacherous Russian road with limited snow.

Day 2 – Birthday Couloir in Sparkles: While the injured skier took a rest day, three of us celebrated a friend’s birthday by skiing a couloir—a narrow mountain pass—while wearing sparkles, embracing the joy of the moment.

Day 3 – The Blister & Grit: One skier discovered a massive blister but continued skiing for two more days without complaints, showing incredible resilience.

Day 4 – Facing Fear & Returning to Skiing: A friend of the injured skier debated leaving but ultimately overcame her hesitation and joined us on the journey to Lagazuoi, a stunning mountaintop hut.

Day 5 – Reflection & Invitation: I encourage listeners to find their own “story of the day,” whether in travel, work, or personal life, and to reflect on the narratives they create for themselves.
