Running the BPD Marathon – Coping Strate...

Rose Skeeters
About this episode

In this heartfelt episode, Rose Skeeters shares her journey from navigating the emotional marathon of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) to training for her first literal marathon—26.2 miles. Through a powerful analogy, she breaks down three key coping strategies that helped her recover from BPD and now fuel her running goals: pacing through emotional storms, fueling up with support, and pushing past the wall. Packed with personal insights, reflection questions, and practical steps, this episode is for anyone running their own tough race—BPD or otherwise. Lace up and listen as Rose shows how resilience can take you from survival to the starting line.
