In 2014, I began my meditation journey using the Headspace app, struggling to quiet my mind. That first sit opened a path I never expected.
Since then, I’ve:
- Learned a new language and culture
- Lived in South Korea
- Completed 7 Vipassana retreats (10-day silent meditation sits)
- Raced a 220km mountain bike challenge
- Endured a 200km, 6-day race in Bhutan
- Conquered marathons
- Earned a Master’s in Positive Coaching
- Much Much More
