    It's been a WEEK. And as I move ~though~ these emotions I'm bringing you along for the ride. Don't worry, I doubt this episode in itself would pull you into the feeling of anger. I talk you through my personal process for reframing and moving on from this intense feeling. How can we harness the intensity and use it as fuel for the fire instead?

    Okay, so maybe you've been listening to my podcast for a while now and you're curious about how I got to where I'm at and want to learn more about my journey to confident adventuring. I PROMISE I did NOT start off as a class IV paddler! I've had my patches. Today I wanted to share my story because a few current clients and prospective clients have told me recently that it seems like I'm just naturally good at adventure sports.... the truth is coming out. Listen up.

    Today's episode is a bit different than most of my content, but it's a conversation that many folks have asked me about and I've been timid about sharing my perspective. On July 4th, 2024, I returned from my Birthright Trip to Israel to explore my Jewish Identity and connection to Israel, the Jewish Homeland. The first half of the episode is about my Jewish Identity, how it relates to my paddling, and what a birthright trip is. The second half goes more in depth about my reflections on the current state of Israel.

    Disclaimer: I am not claiming to support everything Israel is doing right now it the war, nor am I claiming to be against Israel. This episode was created by the request of folks in my life who want to hear my perspective first hand. Please respond with KINDNESS and CURIOSITY.
