Customer Reviews
This is the most inspiring podcast!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for the last year trying to catch up on all the episodes and have been so inspired. Last fall I ran my first half marathon and am training for a full one. Less than one year ago I hated running, and never thought I’d be able to do anything like this. I’ve also picked up rock climbing and did my first pull up ever, something I was always told the average woman couldn’t do. I love hearing about how extreme women athletes deal with anxiety and fears, as that has always held me back. After my own bad skiing accident and surgery, I’ve been having trouble getting my confidence back and it has helped so much knowing that even these amazing women deal with the same issues. Keep up the great work Shelby! You are making a huge difference in my life!
My favorite podcast
I really enjoy how diverse the topics are. I listen to topics I don’t even think will interest me and they always do. I think Shelby does a great job with her interviews, she is easy to listen to.
Diverse, Brilliant, Insightful
So appreciative of the diverse stories being shared here. Each episode teaches me something valuable and gives me a glimpse of the world through a another set of wise eyes. Thank you.
