When life offers you a split in the road, which path will you choose? In Part 2 of our conversation with Anna Sitar—storyteller and digital creator—we explore the power of “Y Moments,” not “W-H-Y.” Anna shares how one bold decision led her from a stable career to a creative life she never imagined. She opens up about facing fear, taking risks, and embracing the unknown. And, of course, we had to know everything about how she trained for her triathlon.

From preparing to her upcoming marathon to ditching toxic fitness culture, Anna shares her evolving health journey, unhealthy habits, and reflects on her first year of therapy. Anna’s refreshingly honest take on wellness is a powerful reminder that you’re running your own marathon, and it’s all about progress, not perfection. Keep going at your pace—you’ve got this!

HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:

• 
  Success isn’t about sticking to the blueprint. Life doesn’t follow a set timeline. We encourage you to let go of rigid expectations and trust that things unfold when they’re meant to.


• 
  Wellness isn’t just physical—it’s mental, too. Anna’s marathon training journey wasn’t just about running—it was about building mental resilience and proving to herself she could do hard things.


• 
  Start small—just one mile. Training for her first marathon, Anna reveals that even the toughest goals start with the smallest steps. It’s all about consistency and mental resilience.
