In September 2016 I met with Will Usher in a Costa Coffee next to Guildford’s train station. I had no idea what to expect, I just knew this was the man who would be able to help me fulfil a dream I’ve had for around 8 years: to become an Ironman.

On meeting Will I was so excited and nervous. I was coming completely cold into every discipline: swimming, cycling and running - at this point I had never been open water swimmer, run more than 15km nor did I own a road bike.

As Will says in this conversation, I was a ‘very interesting project’.

Fast forward to September 30th 2017 at 10:44:03pm I crossed the finish line and became an Iron(wo)man, in just 13:55:20!

I won’t mention that Will did his in only 9:50:45, crossing the finish line at 6:17:43pm, finishing in the top 50 of his age group!

In this episode we cover what it was like competing in our very first Ironman - I wanted to be the happiest person, Will wanted to annihilate the course! As well as how Will prepared for the race, how to create a resilient race mindset and Will’s top tips if you’re looking to do you first Ironman!

Hope you have as much fun listening as we did competing! Stay Wild, Adelaide x

Jen and I have a fantastic conversation that delves into how to overcome your fear and the imposter complex, drawing on some of our own experiences too.

We chat about what led Jen to leaving her successful career as a lawyer to jump into triathlon and running coaching, and why she founded her awesome community Sparta Chicks!

Before diving into strategies and tips that you can use in your life to breakthrough your barriers, become unstoppable and transform into a courageous and brave adventurer and/or athlete.

At the end we touch upon my experience of competing in my first Ironman (3.8km swim, 180km cycle, 42.2km run), which was also my first triathlon!

And then we enter the realms of the Wild Fire Round which brings further laughter to our fun, light and interesting conversation!

I hope you enjoy listening to this first episode as much as I enjoyed having it! And again, a massive thanks to Rob Lawrence for making this episode possible!

Had you told me 4 years ago, I would be cross country skiing across Svalbard in a team, pulling a sled of around 30/35kg, wild camping, discovering polar bear tracks and ringed seals along the way, I wouldn’t have believed you.

I came to be adventuring in the Arctic by fully recovering from 4 years of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) and a a few other issues, reconnecting and cultivating my wild side, following my curiosity and persevering in the face of adversity.

In this special episode of The Lilly Wild Show I share with you my story of adventuring in Svalbard earlier this year, which is an island off the North of Norway, located in the Arctic.

I’ve used my diary, 9 hours of collected sound and time of reflection to put it together - see the pictures by going to the show notes: www.adelaidegoodeve.com/2017/08/02/adelaide-goodeve-svalbard-adventure

So I hope your seat belts are fastened and you’re ready to take off!

In Season 1 I wanted to challenge the portrayal of adventure as purely an outdoor pursuit, a physical endurance challenge that takes you on a journey of self discovery, stretches your comfort zone, pushes your mind to the brink, and if we dip our toes into the Heroic Age of Exploration, putting your life on the line in the pursuit of exploration - although this still holds true for some modern day adventures.

I wanted to show you that we can create adventure in our ordinary everyday lives; at our computer screen, in a cafe, during our lunch break, at the gym and anywhere else you fancy!

Adventure isn’t just something we can buy or experience now and then.

You’ll discover in this episode that adventure is a mindset, a state of being that we can bring into the everyday, by practicing and developing the 3 key ingredients: Resilience, Intuition and Chunking.

These 3 ingredients have empowered and enabled some of the world’s most badass adventurers and forward thinking minds to unleash their best self, create a life they love and live more adventurously.

This is last the interview episode for Season 1, but do not fear I have 2 more amazing episodes whizzing to you very soon!

Why do negative thoughts float into our minds and sometimes stay on repeat? I’m not good enough. I don’t deserve this. I’m not beautiful. I can’t do this. They’re much more adventurous than I am, so I can’t do that.

None of the above is true and yet more often than not, we listen to these voices of doubt, fear, worry and anxiety, when we should be listening to confidence, adventure, happiness and love.

All of our beautiful and positive thoughts come from the guidance of our heart and gut, our true, whole self, that is much too often drowned out.

With me on the show today is an incredibly resilient adventuress, who is a cartoon adventure superstar. And I’m talking about none other than the awesome South African Tegan Phillips!

You never know where a few cartoons and a cycle touring bicycle competition can lead you, and for our guest today, it’s opened wide a whole new world to her, full of incredible opportunities and tough challenges.

Through cycling touring and making up and completing New Zealand’s longest triathlon (you know, just 10 iron mans in 25 days - how hard can it be?!), Tegan has discovered the power of herself.

And so can we - by applying the adventure mindset to our everyday life, which Tegan divulges in today’s show!

We also chat about how adventure was a turning point in Tegan’s life and cycle deeply into how we can change our relationship to fear. After all, it is just a purple potato!

For the last time on Season 1, I hope you enjoy this amazing conversation just as much as I enjoy producing it!

Are you like me and curious about how we can weave the adventure mindset into our everyday, how we can be more creative and free ourselves up to discover what’s important to us, the actions we need to take and the choices we need to make, to create a life that aligns with our most authentic self?

This week I sit down with Natalia Komis, adventure maiden, creative activator and business strategist.

Natalia entwines her passion for creativity, adventure and entrepreneurship to empower women to uncover their true self, establish their purpose, align them with their values and create a positive lasting impact.

Aligning Natalia’s values with her actions, Natalia embraces adventure, walking and creative processes daily, from journalling to painting.

All of her ocean paintings are made with sea water that she’s collected at the place of the painting, bringing together the ocean, art and her coastal walks, her therapy for her mind and soul.

This is an amazing and light hearted conversation about what it means to be successful, how we can cultivate the adventure mindset and bring creativity into our daily lives, so we can align ourselves with our most authentic self and unleash our best self.

Quests are amazing. Tenacious quests? Even better.

But what happens when that quest to uncover the story of one of the Greatest Polar Explorers takes 7 years and requires all of your tenacity and determination?

Angie Butler has been there. And this week she tells us the incredible story of her journey to uncover the unsung hero of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration: Frank Wild.

It’s about what happens when you step into the unknown and stretch yourself — important lessons learned from embarking on your own quest.

It’s about the story of one of the greatest polar explorers from the Edwardian times and the legacy he has left behind.

And it’s about tenacity, determination, achievement and opportunities that adventure brings to you.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this powerful, reflective exchange with the inspiring Angie Butler.
