Summary
What do you do when trust is broken? When you make a mistake and discover that you're being vilified online? Do you hide your head in the sand? Pretend you didn't do anything wrong? Or own your mistake and ask for forgiveness?
It's been a rough few days. The cyber bullying I'm facing is nothing short of horrifying and disappointing and in this episode of the Run, Selfie, Repeat podcast, I want to talk about my mistake, the bullying, and forgiveness.
Mistakes happen. I'm not going to pretend that I didn't let myself, my sponsors, or all of you down. A part of me wants to retreat and give up. But my mission to give the transformative and empowering gift of running to women everywhere is so much bigger than my hurt and my fears.
So let's talk about mistakes, online bullying, and forgiveness.

| 2:11.8 | act of building a website easy for me because if it were not as easy as it were, I would have given up 100%. And then we wouldn't be |
| 2:21.4 | here and I wouldn't be where I'm at today dealing with the cyberbullying I am. But even there, |
