457 Sarah K Brandis ~ Running For Better Mental Health And Riding To Conquer Your Fears

I'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Sarah K Brandis. Sarah and I are offline friends, and we’ve gone on several walks in the woods together. She was also a guest on episode 380, where we discussed what to do when our passions lead to burnout.   Late last year, Sarah started cycling to work in London, and I’ve been following her commuting adventures on Instagram. I wanted to get her back on the show to talk about how she’s overcome her fears of road cycling. I know that a lot of people (myself included!) have some fears about the adventures we want to have, so I knew this would be a useful conversation.   I love how Sarah has found a way of cycling to work on her own terms. This episode will give you some great ideas on how to have your own adventures in the way that works best for you: helping you to overcome your fears little by little, if needed.   About Sarah Sarah K Brandis is an author, runner, and a Rehabilitation Assistant for the NHS.   With a background in psychology and neuroscience, she enjoys all things outdoors that are good for the soul and our general wellbeing. Sarah mostly writes about life experiences, psychology and the brain, but occasionally about physical health too since discovering she has breast implant illness.   Find her writing on Amazon, Audible and Medium.   Sarah’s Links Find Sarah's books and more here or follow on Medium here Instagram   Listen To This Episode        What You'll Learn How running can help your mental health How cycling can help you conquer your fears How to get past fears of commuting via cycle How Sarah shaved 20 minutes off her commute How to choose health over life-long insecurities   Things We Discussed Breaking Up with my Breast Implants  Wandle Trail  Strava Beacon  What 3 Words app   Related Episodes 445 Holly Worton ~ How to Change the Way You See Yourself 443 Holly Worton ~ When Injury Keeps You From Your Adventures 380 Sarah K Brandis ~ What To Do When Our Passions Lead To Burnout (now with downloadable transcript!) 331 Holly Worton ~ Facing Your Fears & Overcoming Them (now with downloadable transcript!) 259 Jo + Holly ~ What Will They Think of Me?
