women, we’re risk takers, we’re people with special hobbies and just maybe a little bit more grit and badassery.” – Team 102

With Jolene as the driver and Adriana as the navigator, they made up rookie Team 102: Pivot & Persist, and they learned how to do just that over the grueling endurance competition.

In this episode they’ll discuss their training and preparation for the event as well as share their experiences, from the highs to the lows, to the unexpected discoveries along the way.  They’ll also talk about how the Rally has changed them and given them a lasting feeling of empowerment and the confidence to tackle life’s challenges.
