Pain is No Fool 

To begin, Leonardo Berch tells his story in “Arrested Development.” Berch chronicles his journey through a love triangle or even love square. Learn how he overcame the heartbreak. Love can so often make us feel like fools. Grow in the face of it. And love again and again. 

In addition, Greg Wieting details his struggle with chronic pain. A constant wave of anxiety and depression washed over Wieting’s life. A childhood with leg braces. Countless doctor visits. His journey is an uphill battle as shown in “I Can.” A great leap of faith saved him when no one else could. Wieting’s unstoppable nature inspires chronic pain sufferers today. 

Moreover, age and uncertainty intersect in Bonnie Frankel’s “A Thin Line.” Frankel’s midlife divorce halted so much. Life improvements seemed just out of Frankel’s grasp until she altered her mindset. No more ‘princess attitude.’ Running changed it all. And Frankel was no longer running from her problems. In fact, she was running as an antidote.
