Tough Girl - Daily Podcast - SEASON 2

After working in finance for 8 years, I quit my city job and spent 18 months travelling the world, climbing Kilimanjaro, backpacking around South America and doing a ski season. I used this time to help me decide on what I wanted to do with my life. ​ I set up Tough Girl Challenges as a way of motivating and inspiring women and girls. I'm the host the Tough Girl Podcast where I interview inspirational female explorers, adventurers, athletes and everyday women who have overcome great challenges. I completed the Marathon des Sables in April 2016 and in 2017 I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail (2,190 miles) in 100 days! In 2018 I will be cycling the Pacific Coast Highway and the Baja Divide! This is my daily update of what I get up to! I want to share the journey, the high points the low points and what it takes to build a business while having fun and going on adventures! ******************************************* SEASON 2 I’ve been wanting to go back to the Tough Girl Daily Podcast for a while. But I’ve just had so much on, I needed to let it go while I focused on my Masters getting back to full strength after the Appalachian Trail and working on building up Tough Girl Challenges into a viable business which can support me. At the moment I do work part time jobs to enable to me to do what I do and I do live with my parents (who are beyond amazing and supportive) but I do need to make this work, I need to be able to earn a living. I feel there is an illusion about how easy it is to build a business, build a brand and being able to earn a living from it. It’s not - it’s hard work and I hope through this daily podcast you will be able to see what is going on behind the scenes. I will share the good bits and the bad bits, the high points, the low points.

The questions I answered

 

Please see below for questions:
 

  1. Firstly what spurred you on to change your lifestyle from working in finance to now being a fully fledged adventurer?


  1. Out of the many expeditions that you have set yourself, which one challenged/pushed you to the limits both physically and mentally?


  1. Is there one piece of equipment that you cannot go without whilst on an expedition?


  1. Your podcast Tough Girl Challenges has now been running for many years. What inspired you to set this up initially and how much work goes into creating your podcasts?


  1. You interview women from all walks of life. Do you feel that this has inspired you as a person to try new things?


  1. You are next planned expedition is to embark on a 100 day hike across the Appalachian trail. How long does planning such a trip take?


  1. Finally as it is International women's day what piece of advice would you give women out there who may only just be starting/keen to start up their own adventures and try something new?
 
Thanks again and hopefully we will get to meet you in person some day soon
