Joanna has been flying for 25 years.

That’s not just experience, that’s a lifetime in the sport.

Or in Wanderbird words: a path following the paragliding passion.

In this episode of the Find Your Path Podcast, we talk about what it means to stay in paragliding for decades and about how motivation evolves, about competition, records and what really drives you after so many hours in the air.

Joanna shares her perspective as a woman in a sport where participation is still heavily male dominated.

Why do fewer women fly?

Has that changed over the years?

And do women approach flying differently?

We also speak about travel, Venezuela, Kenya, Europe, and whether pilots actually need to travel to grow.

Is chasing records a natural consequence of long term passion? Or is it something else entirely?

As someone who has seen the sport from many angles, as a competitor, record pilot and Red Bull X Alps reporter, Joanna brings a calm and thoughtful perspective on safety, longevity and balance.

How do you stay safe for 25 years?

What really matters in the long run?

And what is a good life?

A deep episode that has already triggered discourse in my team. Development is a matter of exploration and I think this episode adds to that.

Thank you Joanna for your time.

This is for anyone who wants to fly for a long time and not just far.
