# 011 Mastering Mental Toughness: Tammie Hampton on Preparing for the Kaua’i Channel
Description
Tammie Hampton set out to make history as part of the first all-female team to paddle across the 85-mile Oʻahu to Kauaʻi Channel—one of the most challenging and least-attempted interisland crossings in Hawaiʻi. In this episode, Lindsey Tilton and Casey McCullough dive into Tammie’s journey, from the relentless conditions that forced her to pull out at mile 65 to the mindset that’s pushing her to try again.
Tammie also shares her experience earning the Iron Crusader title during the Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis, where she battled extreme nausea for 16 straight hours but refused to quit. Her biggest lesson? We are all capable of more than we believe—the key is to take the first step.
Listen in for an inspiring conversation on resilience, overcoming self-doubt, and what it really takes to push your limits.
