Ep #61 Jessie Stone on Paddling with Purpose

Do you have a passion that you really want to pursue, but fear keeps getting in your way? It's time for you to find the courage to step into your Discomfort Zone. The Discomfort Zone seems like a scary place, but it is the learning and growth zone. You can't follow your passion, fulfill your potential or accomplish great things (whatever that means to you) without stepping into, and through your Discomfort Zone. 

Host Anna Levesque is a distinguished whitewater kayak and mental agility coach. Her 
authentic conversations with courageous whitewater/outdoorsy types who have followed their passions into, and through their discomfort zones, will provide you with inspiration and effective strategies for following your passions, especially when it gets uncomfortable and scary. 

Anna is the author of the book Yoga for Paddling, was named one of the most inspirational paddlers alive by Canoe and Kayak magazine, and is a World Freestyle Kayak medalist. She has paddled, taught and competed on the international stage for close to 30 years, and is passionate about empowering her clients with courage and confidence through her Mind Body Paddle programming and coaching.
