The Berbly Project
A Journey of Grit, Growth, and Grace.
The Berbly Project is about growth, evolution, and transformation.
It’s about showing up for yourself in the moments that feel impossible—and letting life shape you in ways you didn’t expect.
Sometimes beautifully. Sometimes painfully. Often both.
“Life doesn’t move in a straight line. It swerves. It unravels. It demands change when you least expect it.”
The name “Berbly” started as a happy accident—a typo my dad made while creating my first email address. What was meant to be something simple turned into a nickname, and over time, it became a symbol of how unexpected moments can shape who we are.
Since 2010, I’ve experienced more change and transformation than I ever thought possible.
I’ve been learning to trust myself through uncertainty, to stay grounded when everything around me shifts, and to care for myself as the journey continues to unfold.
Where It Began
Running was where it all began.
It taught me to stretch beyond my limits, to question the stories I told myself about what I could or couldn’t do. It taught me how to fight through doubt and believe in something greater than where I was at the time.
At first, I thought that was the destination—that running was the ultimate metaphor for life.
But then I found ultra running.
And I realized the journey was just beginning.
Ultra Running & Life
Ultra running didn’t just demand endurance—it required presence.
It taught me that it isn’t always about pushing harder. It’s about showing up for yourself in ways you never thought you’d need to.
- How to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
- That pacing isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.
- That rest isn’t optional—it’s survival.
- That breaking down isn’t the end of the story—it’s just a checkpoint along the way.
The Heart of This Space
This blog is a living archive of that evolution—a space where I process the raw, beautiful, messy intersections of loss, healing, discovery, and becoming.
“It’s not polished. It’s not linear. But it’s honest. It’s real. And it’s mine.”
I hope this space feels like a breath you didn’t know you needed.
A place where you can land softly, without explanation.
Where it’s safe to be in-process, to not have it all figured out, and to feel whatever you’re feeling—fully and without shame.
If you’re here, I’m grateful.
I hope something in these pages helps you feel seen, held, or just a little less alone.
Wherever you are in your journey—beginning, middle, or lost somewhere in between—
you’re not behind.
You’re becoming.
