SHOW INTRODUCTION:
If you’ve ever felt you’ve needed to shake things up, get out of your comfort zone, and discover who you are, what you’re made of, and what you can do in life, then do we have confidence building show for you.
Today I’ll be talking with Roz Savage, likely the greatest female rowing adventurer of all times, and the author of Rowing the Atlantic: Lessons Learned on the Open Ocean, and Stop Drifting, Start Rowing: One Woman’s Search for Happiness and Meaning Alone on the Pacific.
Today we’ll talk about stepping outside your comfort zone, serving a higher purpose, discovering your own inner strength, overcoming demons and finding the courage to continue, no matter what.
That plus we’ll talk about rowing naked, cheer me up chocolate, and the secret power of bean sprouts.
