In this episode of What’s the Rusch, Rebecca Rusch shares an expansive and grounding conversation with former professional skateboarder turned artist/mindfulness teacher, Teddi Dean. From a countercultural childhood in 1970s Huntington Beach to riding for the legendary Bones Brigade and eventually embracing Buddhist vows, Teddi’s path is a journey of reinvention and self-discovery. Together, Rebecca and Teddi unpack what it means to pause, to look inward, and to reclaim your identity—beyond titles, accolades, or roles.

This week on What’s the Rusch, Rebecca Rusch shares space with ultra-endurance cyclist, storyteller, and Indigenous athlete Alexandera Houchin for a deeply honest and resonant conversation. A citizen of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe, Alexandera is rewriting what it means to be a modern Native woman, professional athlete, and cultural steward—on her terms.

Alexandera lives in northern Minnesota—on the land her ancestors lived on– where she now trains for some of the world’s toughest bikepacking races. Alexandera shares her journey from disconnection to deep cultural reconnection. What began as a tool for freedom during a difficult time has become her path to visibility, voice, and purpose.

Together, Rebecca and Alexandera explore what it means to claim space—in sport, in community, and within yourself. This conversation goes beyond endurance to examine identity, representation, responsibility, and the quiet strength it takes to build something meaningful for those who come next.

1. “I used to want to avenge what was done to my family. Now I want to become the person I needed to see growing up.”
2. Representation isn’t performative—it’s a responsibility to those who come next
3. Belonging is power. Community is performance fuel.
4. You can’t be what you can’t see—visibility matters

Vulnerable Moments:

1. Alexandera opens up about her family’s forced separation due to federal Indian policy
2. Her journey with addiction and how cycling became a tool for freedom and identity
3. The conflict between pursuing sport professionally and staying grounded in purpose
4. How Rebecca’s mentorship helped her take the leap into being a full-time athlete

2. Why bikes are a vehicle for both personal sovereignty and collective connection
3. “Don’t worry about being fast. Worry about being full—full of purpose, connection, and intention.”

This special episode of What’s the Rusch, comes to you live from the main Ideas stage at Outside Festival. Rebecca Rusch shares the stage with friend and pioneering mountaineer Melissa Arnot Reid. As the first American woman to summit and descend Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, Melissa is no stranger to pushing boundaries. But this conversation goes far deeper than altitude.

Together, they unpack the themes of Melissa’s new memoir, Enough—a raw, reflective look at her life beyond the summits. More than a climbing story, the book (and this episode) explores what it means to constantly redefine your identity, let go of perfection, and step fully into your truth.

From guiding on Everest to navigating grief, from challenging gender dynamics in male-dominated spaces to learning how to write through pain, Melissa shares with honesty, clarity, and courage. This episode is about evolution, visibility, and the quiet bravery it takes to say: who I am is enough.

Show Notes:

In this episode, Melissa and Rebecca explore:

1. Why Enough isn’t a book about Everest—and what the title truly means
2. How identity shifts over time, and the permission we need to evolve
3. What it’s like to guide in a male-dominated industry—and how gender still shapes perception and opportunity
4. The difference between doing something impressive and creating something meaningful
5. The power of storytelling, self-reflection, and writing as a form of healing
6. How parenthood, grief, and community shaped Melissa’s current chapter
7. The vulnerability of public honesty and what Melissa has gained—and lost—by sharing her full self

Transformative Insights:

1. Enough is a moving target: Melissa reveals how the definition of “enough” transformed for her—from achievement to self-acceptance.
2. The summit is for the ego, but the journey is for the soul: Why what happens on the way up matters more than the peak.
3. We are all complicated: And sharing that truth gives others permission to do the same.
4. Creation vs. Accomplishment: What it means to create something lasting, instead of just doing something impressive.

Vulnerable Moments:

1. Melissa shares the fear of public rejection before releasing her memoir—and the surprising liberation that followed.
2. She opens up about parental estrangement, and the emotional toll of letting go of hope for their approval.
3. Rebecca and Melissa reflect on how their perceptions of each other evolved through honesty and friendship.
4. Melissa discusses internalized misogyny and the challenges of being one of the only women guiding on Everest.

Practical Wisdom:

1. Let go of the container: Identity isn’t rigid—it’s amoebic, ever-changing, and dynamic.
2. Mentorship matters: Especially in male-dominated spaces, visibility and honest mentorship create real change.
3. Create to heal: Writing helped Melissa process her past and give shape to her truth.
4. Your story is enough: There is value in being fully seen—not just for the polished parts.

Personal Growth:

1. From projecting perfection to embracing complexity, Melissa’s story is a blueprint for honest evolution.
2. Rebecca reflects on her own experiences with vulnerability and the power of female friendship built on truth.
3. The episode redefines leadership as visibility, advocacy, and sharing lived experience with others.

This powerful in-person episode of What’s the Rusch was recorded live at the Outside Festival in Denver, where Rebecca Rusch is joined by legendary swimmer, author, and speaker Diana Nyad. Famous for her record-breaking swim from Cuba to Florida at age 64—after four failed attempts and 35 years of persistence—Diana shares more than a story of grit. She opens up about resilience, reinvention, the importance of awe, and what it really means to live a life without regrets.

From pushing physical limits to rewriting what’s possible at any age, this conversation dives deep into the psychology of endurance, the value of failure, and the beauty of evolving with each chapter of life. Diana’s voice is clear, bold, and unflinchingly honest as she reflects on personal trauma, the pursuit of legacy, and the softening that comes with wisdom.

Whether you're staring down your next big dream or simply trying to remember that it's not too late, Diana’s story is a masterclass in finding purpose, holding onto passion, and daring to begin again.

In this episode, Rebecca and Diana talk about:

1. Why true endurance is more mental than physical—and how it applies to life beyond sport
2. How failure, not success, built Diana’s legacy
3. What it takes to dream big, assemble a team, and come back after defeat
4. Why aging is not a limitation, but an invitation to rewrite your identity
5. The role of awe, nature, and connection in fueling purpose
6. Diana’s powerful reflections on her relationship with her mother, personal trauma, and healing

Transformative Insights:

1. “Courage to fail” is more valuable than a perfect track record.
2. The physical body may falter, but the mind’s will can carry you to the shore.
3. Endurance is a human quality, not an athletic one—it lives in all of us.
4. Sometimes the longer path is the one that leads to the deepest growth.
5. The goal isn’t always to win, but to show up and discover who we are.

Vulnerable Moments:

1. Diana reflects on her childhood sexual abuse and how it shaped her drive.
2. She shares the regret of not being more forgiving to her mother—and the healing that came just before her passing.
3. She opens up about living with intensity and learning, even at 75, to soften.
4. Rebecca shares how a concussion changed her relationship with movement, identity, and purpose.

Practical Wisdom:

1. "Be in the arena.” The critic on the sidelines doesn’t count.
2. Learn to pause: sometimes slowing down helps you see more clearly.
3. Don’t buy into age limits—dreams have no expiration date.
4. Use awe—nature, connection, challenge—as a gateway to meaning.
5. Start where you are. There’s magic in beginning.

Personal Growth:

1. Diana’s shift from ego-driven achievement to team-centered leadership

Personal Growth

1. Hebah’s evolution from doctor to mother to athlete—and finally claiming the title of athlete out loud.
2. Learning to slow down, rest, and recognize that doing “nothing” can be deeply healing.
3. Why your identity is allowed to evolve—and how embracing change can unlock your greatest self.
4. Reframing visibility as opportunity: showing up publicly in a hijab and transforming perceptions of what an athlete looks like.
