About this episode

Erika Carr reflects on the importance of enjoying the process rather than focusing solely on performance, sharing insights on finding joy and letting go of pressure.

After running my 3rd Hyrox race yesterday, I realized something powerful: I got so focused on my time that I forgot to enjoy the process. In this episode, I share what God taught me about running our own race in life—how to let go of pressure, stop comparing yourself, and find true joy in His presence. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by results or caught up in what ‘should’ happen, this teaching is for you. This will help you in all areas of your life.
