For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

RERUN EPISODE – Originally released Oct 18, 2021 We’re bringing back this powerful episode because the message still hits home. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like you’re just not good enough, this one’s for you. In this rerun, I explore: Why simply visualizing or manifesting isn’t enough How to start recognizing your own potential, even when you don’t feel it The impact of comparison (and how to turn it into a tool for growth) Why accepting your limits can actually empower you The difference between being perfect and being your best Quotes worth remembering: “You believe in yourself to the degree that you believe you exist.” “Choosing to believe in yourself is choosing to believe in the possibility that you can.” “When you believe that you can do whatever it is... the comparison itself is rendered in such a way that it doesn’t impact you the same way.” If you’ve been feeling stuck or uncertain, this episode might be the reminder you didn’t know you needed.…
