Redefining Boundaries Through Cycling


Listen Later

What drives someone to cycle the entire Pacific Coast alone—and how does it change them?

Cat Lau shares her journey of overcoming cultural expectations, tackling tough terrain, and discovering deep self-reliance. From the kindness of the cycling community to nights spent camping under the stars, this episode explores how adventure can lead to healing and empowerment.

Balancing work, personal growth, and a search for connection, Cat’s story is a powerful reminder that taking risks can expand our boundaries and create space for others to feel seen in the cycling world.
