In this episode I share a recording of an interview conducted by journalist Bay Hagebeek - a deep talk during which we dived into topics like mental health, sexism, soul vs. ego, authenticity, why I became a coach, spirituality, eating disorders, how being egoistic can actually serve the world and how I've started to take hate on the internet less to heart. Here's the written interview Bay published after our talk: https://bayhagebeek.nl/mountain-biking-a-tool-for-mental-strength/ and this is the recording of the interview, which I've separated into chunks to make it more digestible.
