Podcast: Overcoming Fear & Building Resilience

Podcast: Overcoming Fear & Building Resilience

A conversation about fear, resilience and growth

I recently joined Sam Church on The Transformation Code Podcast for a deeply reflective conversation about fear, resilience, and transformation, in the water and in life.

We spoke about my journey through extreme marathon swims, the challenges of the entertainment industry, and the personal moments that have shaped my understanding of courage and progress. From perfectionism to stillness, motherhood to shark encounters, this episode explores the mindset that has allowed me to move through fear rather than be stopped by it.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to face fear with calm curiosity
  • Breaking big challenges into manageable steps
  • The "one more stroke" method for pressure and overwhelm
  • Finding balance between ambition and peace
  • Lessons from extreme ocean conditions
  • Stillness, reframing, and choosing gratitude
  • What real transformation looks like

If you're navigating your own challenging waters, literal or metaphorical, I hope this conversation offers guidance and encouragement.
