What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text!

In this exhilarating episode, we delve deep into the thrilling world of overcoming fears and embracing the unknown. Join me as I share my journey of conquering one of the most adrenaline-pumping challenges (and something I said I'd absolutely NEVER do): bungee jumping.

I know that true growth lies on the other side of your comfort zone, and so I share some pivotal moments that led me to confront my anxieties and embrace the exhilarating plunge by sharing five big lessons I learned from doing this thing I said I'd never do.

Fear, often seen as a barrier that holds us back, can also be the catalyst for big realizations and even profound personal transformation. And, while I'm talking about bungee jumping, you don't have to jump off tall things to experience this!

I also share strategies and techniques for learning to mentally and physically regulate your nervous system during a wildly stressful moment, like right before bungee jumping, and how powerful visualization can be for prepping you for a big leap. (And also how NOT visualizing can impact your performance.) 

As shared in the episode, here are the 5 LessonsI Learned from Doing Something I Said I’d Never Do:

  1. Never say never
    • The universe doesn’t understand "I won'ts." 
  2.  Nervous system regulation works
    • Until you get to your edge, that is. Then, you know where your edge is and you can re-regulate from that moment and keep moving forward.
  3.  Surround yourself with people who love life.
    • It can help you see what you’re truly capable of doing
  4. You might like it more than you think you do.
    • Beware the moment you actually enjoy something you thought would be terrible! But really, be curious about the things you say you won’t do. There may be a nugget of desire there!
  5. Share your failures and laugh at them.
    • Laugher is healing!


Whether you're someone who is curious about taking a leap of faith or you're seeking inspiration to conquer your own fears, this episode may give you the courage ignite the fire within you to face your fears, embrace uncertainty, and take that exhilarating leap towards a life without limits.
