I'm getting in touch is in regards to my side blog which is following my attempt to climb 40 volcanoes by the age of 40. Each week I am trying to publish an interview with someone about big adventures or changes in their life - the idea being to inspire my small group of readers to overcome their self doubt to achieve their dreams. I am plagued by self doubt and find it a real struggle but I feel it can be tackled so I want to share this theory with the world.

I understand you quit a job to start tough girl? I was wondering whether you would be willing to respond to some questions around this to be published as one of these interviews on my blog. I have pasted the questions below.

QUESTIONS:

What was the impetus behind quitting your job and starting the tough girl podcasts? Can you give a bit of background and say why you felt you had to make this change.

Before setting out on this new direction what were your doubts/fears/concerns and how did you overcome these?

What is the main thing you have learnt (about life or yourself) from this experience?

What would be your dream adventure/goal and why - and why haven't you done it yet?

What is the best advice you have ever been given?

If you were stuck on a desert island, what three things would you have with you and why?
