Episode 286: Resilience at the Edge with Extreme Cold Water Swimmer Nuala Moore
Update: 2025-09-30
Description
Nuala Moore is an Irish open water swimmer and adventurer who has pushed human limits in some of the most extreme conditions on earth. With two Guinness World Records and decades of experience in the ocean, she’s learned what fear, discomfort, and resilience really mean.
In this episode, Nuala shares:
- What happens in the exact moment you face fear, and how to know if it’s protecting you or holding you back
- Why avoiding discomfort costs you more than facing it
- The lessons silence and solitude can teach when you’re stripped of all distraction
- The difference between just enduring and being truly resilient
- What the ocean has shown her about real limits — and the ones we create ourselves
A powerful conversation about resilience, choice, and the strength you only find at the edge.
