On the Edge — The Final Stretch to El Cruce
Episode 11
Friday, 21 November, 2025
On this narrowing road to El Cruce, I’m living in the unfiltered experience of me—the place where clarity breathes louder than chaos. In this episode, I explore the moments that can’t be measured, tracked, or posted… only felt. I open up about my greatest fear—not the unknown, but the soul-level terror of staying the same—and how this season has called me again and again into deeper alignment, deeper truth, and deeper self-trust. As the countdown to Patagonia speeds up, I reflect on the year, the training, the warrior mind skills being sharpened daily, and answer listener questions that keep calling me forward: Why do I continue walking toward the edge? What draws me to these unknowns? And what shifts when I choose me over the need to belong? I share stats on the race and how my mental prep is evolving, along with the integration of practices that allow me to show up steady, sovereign, and ready. I close this episode in the place I keep finding myself lately—the quiet center where I remember who I am and what I’m here to do.
