Last August, I was feeling strong physically. I was working out at Orange Theory twice a week. I had biceps! I was seeing a mental health therapist (still am) and had so many new tools to help adjust my emotions. And with my new attitude in life, I was ready for an adventure!
Chris and I were driving through Dubuque, and a car was stranded in the middle of the road. Chris had recovered last winter from a terrible back injury, so I said, "Babe - don't get out. I'll help!"
This was a big deal for one reason.
1. Prior to this, I would have never offered help it involved risking my own life in any way. In the middle of a busy street! I was much safer inside the minivan with Chris. I mean, I've survived cancer so far. Why risk it? But my new instinct was to jump in and help.
So, I yelled "I'm coming to help! I'm an old white lady. I'll help!"
We got it done. four strangers pushing two people in a car to safety.
I did it NOT to be a Karen. But to be a BETH. More on that later. #BethDuttonGoals #Yellowstone

It felt awesome. Two of my strengths merged: Achiever (get it done) and Belief (Gotta do the right thing).
