    What Keeps You Stuck in the Shallows (And How to Break Free)

    What happens when life, other people, and the expectations around you make it harder to pursue the life you want? In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine explores the external pressures that can keep us stuck in the shallows—from “reality-sizing” our dreams and following society’s expectations to navigating the well-meaning fears of the people who love us most. You’ll discover why growth can feel uncomfortable, how to recognize the voices encouraging you to stay safe, and why it matters to question the rules and assumptions shaping your choices. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you’ve always been and who you’re becoming, this episode will encourage you to keep surfing your edge, navigate uncertainty, and seek out people who believe in what is possible for you.

Moving through life’s obstacles isn’t about avoiding discomfort. It’s about learning which voices and expectations deserve your attention—and continuing to choose growth even when the people and world around you don’t fully understand where you’re going. About the Host: Kristine Goad is endlessly curious about the moment when “I could never” becomes “What if I tried?” As the Surfing Your Edge Coach, her work centers on transforming our relationship with fear, trusting ourselves more deeply, and creating lives that feel bigger, bolder, and more fully our own. Her approach blends coaching, mental fitness, adventure, experimentation, and wonder—shaped by a life that has included bicycling across America, writing a memoir, building a business, and taking surf lessons to overcome her fear of open water in her late 40s. She is less interested in fearless living than in what becomes possible when we get curious about the things that scare us.

    Why You Feel Stuck: Overcoming the Beliefs That Hold You Back

    In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine explores the invisible emotional barriers that keep us from choosing ourselves and creating the life we truly want. From believing you're "not ready" or "too late," to waiting for the perfect plan or the perfect time, she unpacks the limiting beliefs that quietly keep us stuck. Kristine shares why overwhelm is often a form of self-protection, how societal expectations shape our decisions, and why growth requires embracing uncertainty rather than avoiding it. If you've been waiting for permission to pursue what's calling you, this episode will inspire you to take the next small step and trust that your path is created by walking it.

    How to Dream Bigger and Make Friends with Fear: The Bigger, Bolder, Badass Framework

    What might become possible if you allowed yourself to dream beyond the limits of your current reality? In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine introduces the Bigger, Bolder, Badass framework—the coaching model she created to help people imagine more for their lives, navigate the inner voices that try to keep them safe, and take meaningful action without waiting for fear to disappear. You’ll explore what it means to dream bigger than you have previously allowed yourself to dream, transform your relationship with your inner critic, and redefine what it means to be a badass: becoming the fullest expression of who you are without apologizing for it. Kristine also shares why fear does not always mean you should stop, how small life experiments can expand your comfort zone, and why failure can be useful information rather than proof that you should give up. This episode is for anyone ready to approach growth with more courage, curiosity, authenticity, joy, and possibility.
