Join me this week as I'm interviewed by perimenopause expert Shelby Tutty about my recent journey to compete in the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in New Zealand. 

From the unexpected friendships that made this race possible to the unique challenges of competing in a country where everything operates in reverse, I share an intimate look at what it means to race at the world-class level.

Whether you're curious about the mechanics of triathlon racing, interested in how different countries approach these events, or seeking inspiration for your own life goals, this episode offers both practical insights and personal stories. 

I open up about overcoming fears, adapting to obstacles, and how a five-year journey from qualification to race day taught me powerful lessons about holding vision while releasing attachment to timeline.

This engaging conversation goes beyond just race details to explore what's possible when we remain open to unexpected opportunities and stay committed to our dreams, even when the path looks different than we imagined.
