Description

What if you could reframe your greatest fear not as a barrier, but as an invitation? Join Laura Grace on her incredible journey from being too afraid to wild camp alone to spending over a year on a solo bike tour through South America. In this inspiring episode, Laura shares how she learned to meet fear with curiosity and courage, transforming it into a catalyst for growth. Hear about the thrill she experienced setting off to cross Ireland by bicycle, a trip-halting mechanical failure in Ecuador, and the dramatic circumstances that solidified her friendship with fellow cyclist and previous guest, Julia Esser. This is a powerful story about pushing personal boundaries, finding strength in vulnerability, and discovering that the most rewarding adventures are waiting just outside your comfort zone.
