And so, again, I took the opportunity to download Audible books and I started doing it. I do endurance training on the bike. So on my Saturdays when I'm riding for two hours doing endurance training, I put on my Audible book and I listen. I listen to those that are experts in anti-racism, understanding what keywords means when we're talking about racism in general.
How is it different from discrimination and prejudice? Being able to articulate how I feel because as much as I've gone through personal circumstances, there are many times I didn't have the right words to express what happened to me or how I felt about those things. And so, again, I had leaned into resources.
I continue to do so right now, reading, audible books, podcasts, and then open up dialogue with my family, with my fellow instructors, with my friends. They're my friends as well. And I think that that was the way that it has helped me and continues to help me to understand what is my message when I get on that bike.
Because I don't want to ever go anywhere and speak and not be aware or intentionally pretend I'm unaware what the emotions of the people around me are going through. And so when I do my Sundays with love and we talk about a virtue of courage or we talk about temperance or we talk about friendship, I don't talk about all the positive things because we can identify the positive things.
The things that we're going through are the not so positive things. The things that we have this unrest with are the not so positive things. And it's the things that we want to learn how to work through. And we want to learn that we're not alone. And we want to learn that we aren't in the dark.
And so it's this concept of even right now, as we're in this turning point, and I get on a bike, and whether it's a pop ride, or intervals and arms ride, or Sundays with Love, or feel good ride,
It's me recognizing and highlighting that while we may feel a certain high level of uncertainty, while we may feel anxious, while we may feel overwhelmed, while we may feel that we don't know what to say or that we don't want to say the wrong things, but we don't want to be silent.
I always talk about leaning into the resources and the voices that are in the know, but also this concept of if you feel like you're in the dark because of those things.
All I want you to imagine is that if you turned on the light in this dark room that you're in, the reality of the situation is that there will be people standing shoulder to shoulder with you because you're not alone in this discomfort. You're not alone in your uncertainty. You're not alone in this turmoil that you're going through, in this emotional space that you're in.
And while our emotions and our stories may be different and uniquely ours, you are not alone in the fact that you still have to confront those things and deal with those things. And so to get to, to get all that wrapped up in a nice bow is that at any time you get me on the bike, the point is for me to be a real person.
I'm going to give you a great workout and I'm going to motivate you, but I'm also a real person. And not that I say I'm going to be the most preachy person all the time and give you a sermon on the bike, but it's just an understanding, like bringing my whole self to that bike and to the mat is really important. And I want to be my true self. I want to be, I want to be me in any space.
And so that was the decision that I made for many years is that what makes me feel good is when I'm myself and I'm my most kind self and my most, you know, honest self, transparent self. And that's what I remind myself about before I get on that bike and clip in.
