Listen Later

In this episode, 14X Green Race Champion, Adriene Levknecht shares her strategies for thriving through chaos on and off the water, and how routines are key for her staying grounded.

She shares how she preps for and overcomes fear in her paddling and racing, including her pre-Green Race rituals.

Learn how stepping into her discomfort zone at an early age has taught Adriene that she can do hard things, and has boosted her confidence in her ability to figure things out on the fly, and when the unexpected happens. After all, life and whitewater kayaking isn't always about plan A, but about plans B,C,D and even F when plan A doesn't pan out.

We go into fun kayaking analogies including finding your angles and embracing your power within.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Tips for developing rituals and routines can help ground and focus the mind in the discomfort zone.

  • How living in the discomfort zone can lead to personal growth and the ability to take on challenges.

  • How routines can provide grounding and stability in chaotic situations.

  • Fun kayaking analogies for life.
