Podcasts about Make It Happen

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Pamela Lee, a professional offshore sailor from Ireland who's breaking records and barriers in one of the most extreme, male-dominated sports on the planet. Now based in Brittany, France—the heart of short-handed offshore racing—Pamela has carved out her path with grit, determination, and a clear vision for empowering women through sailing. Pam shares her journey from growing up beside the sea in Ireland to becoming the first Irish woman to skipper the Transat Jacques Vabre Race, setting three world records sailing around Ireland, and now training for the 2026 Route du Rhum, one of the toughest solo ocean races in the world. We dive deep into her early influences, the realities of offshore racing, learning French to break into the French sailing scene, and the financial, emotional, and physical challenges of pursuing elite-level sailing. From boat borrowing to breaking glass ceilings, Pamela opens up about the power of visibility, representation, and believing in your own potential—no matter how big the dream. Whether you're interested in sailing, women in sport, or chasing bold goals, this is an empowering and eye-opening conversation not to miss. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Bianca Fernandez-Clark is a 7x Ironman finisher, Chair, and co-founder of Women in Tri UK, a charity on a mission to bring more women into triathlon and break down barriers in the sport. With no background in sport, Bianca laced up her trainers at age 29 to tackle a 10km as a way to manage her mental health. From there, she progressed to marathons and, in 2016, took on the challenge of learning to swim and cycle to complete her first triathlon. As a Black/mixed-race woman, Bianca has been vocal about the lack of diversity in triathlon, especially at long-distance events, and has worked to highlight the barriers faced by the Black community in accessing swimming.  In 2022, she co-founded Women in Tri UK, and the organisation has been growing ever since, working hard to make triathlon more inclusive and accessible for women everywhere. By day, Bianca works full-time in the financial sector, but every spare moment is dedicated to continuing her own triathlon journey and supporting the work of Women in Tri UK. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Harriet Frost is a force of energy, endurance, and entrepreneurial grit.  From completing the notorious Arc of Attrition 100-mile ultra twice, to directing multiple trail races, to co-founding a menstrual cup company focused on sustainable period care for athletes — Harriet is redefining what it means to pursue hard things, in business and on the trail. In this episode, Harriet shares her journey from growing up in Cornwall to discovering a love of endurance sport later in life — despite hating running at first. With no formal coaching, she's built her own training strategy based on experience, discipline, and gut instinct — and it's taken her to the finish lines of some of the UK's most brutal ultra events. We also dive into the founding of Sea+Flo, a period care company created by women, for women, aiming to empower people to better understand and manage their menstrual health during sport. Harriet speaks candidly about the mental strength required to train alone, run in the dark, and manage periods while racing, as well as her mission to bring more female voices to the forefront of adventure and endurance media. This is a conversation about grit, vulnerability, and showing up — again and again — even when the path ahead is long, muddy, and uncertain.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

In this episode of Make It Happen Mondays, John Barrows sits down with Kelly Cheng, CMO at Goldcast, for a wide-ranging and insightful conversation on sales, marketing, and the evolving buyer journey. From her early days as a self-proclaimed rebel growing up in Hong Kong to working with top brands like Adobe and Microsoft, Kelly brings a fresh, strategic perspective to how modern go-to-market teams win mindshare before buyers are ready to buy. They dive into “mindshare marketing,” the challenge of measuring brand ROI, and why most of your market isn't in-market—and why that's exactly where your attention should be. Kelly also shares her thoughts on video's role in building trust at scale, the problem with attribution models, the shifting role of SDRs, and the impact (and ethical complexity) of AI influencers.

This special episode of the Tough Girl Podcast brings together three incredible women—Tori James, Jo Bradshaw, and Rosemary J Brown—for an inspiring conversation about legacy, mountains, and the enduring spirit of women in adventure. We're diving deep into the story of Junko Tabei, the first woman to summit Mount Everest in 1975, and celebrating the 50th anniversary of her historic climb. Despite her groundbreaking achievement, Junko's name is still unfamiliar to many. Tori, Jo, and Rosemary are determined to change that. In this episode, we talk about how Junko inspired a life-changing all-female expedition to Yala Peak in Nepal, the launch of the First Females Podcast (May 16th 2025), and the wider mission to highlight the stories of women who were the first from their countries to stand on the roof of the world. You'll hear about: Rosemary's journey to the mountains in her 70s. Tori's return to Nepal, 18 years after climbing Everest. Jo's vision for a meaningful anniversary tribute. The power of visibility, representation, and saying yes to adventure—at any age. This episode is a beautiful tribute to Junko's legacy, a reminder of the power of community, and a call to action for anyone ready to find their own summit. #MyJunkoJourney *** Past episodes with Jo, Tori & Rosemary: Tori James - https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/2015/09/29/tough-girl-tori-james-first-welsh-women-to-climb-everest  Rosemary J Brown - https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/brown-1  Jo Bradshaw - https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/2016/09/15/tough-girl-extra-catching-up-with-mountaineer-expedition-leader-jo-bradshaw-discussing-he  Jo Bradshaw TGP Extra - https://www.toughgirlchallenges.com/single-post/jo-bradshawtge  ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Angela Maxwell spent nearly seven years walking around the world — solo. Covering over 20,000 miles across four continents and 16 countries, she braved the Australian outback, battled dengue fever in Vietnam, and faced the daily challenge of finding safe places to sleep, often in a tent.  A self-described introvert and novice adventurer when she began, Angela's journey was as much an inner transformation as a physical one — fuelled by fear, curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to explore what it means to live with courage. Angela walked with purpose, raising funds to support girls rescued from human trafficking, and continues that mission through mentoring and women's empowerment workshops. She's been featured by Lonely Planet, BBC Travel, and Outside Magazine, and most recently became one of the first women to swim across the Caspian Sea — a feat that took 28 days and redefined her relationship with fear and endurance. Now based in Wales (for the moment), Angela is writing a book about her world walk and sharing her philosophy that “courage is a verb.” Whether she's walking, swimming, or simply choosing the unknown, Angela lives by example — proving that adventure doesn't require expertise, just the decision to begin. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Alexandra Garcia's journey into the outdoors began in adulthood, after relocating from Puerto Rico to Virginia, USA. What started as a personal reconnection with nature quickly turned into a deep passion for endurance challenges that test both body and mind.    Since climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2017 and completing the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim in 2018, Alex has pursued adventures that push her limits — including backpacking rugged trails in Puerto Rico and continuously seeking what she calls “difficult pursuits.”   Now based in Western North Carolina near Pisgah National Forest, Alex is not only an outdoor athlete and writer but also a changemaker. She co-founded the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation to increase accessibility and gender equity in mountain sports, helping women and girls around the world reach new heights — literally.   In 2025, Alex will travel to France to climb Mt. Blanc, and she's also training for a Fastest Known Time (FKT) attempt on a challenging trail route.    Whether she's writing, running, or leading with purpose, Alexandra is passionate about personal growth, emotional resilience, and helping others find the courage to take on their own version of hard.   ***  Catch the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, dropping every Tuesday at 7 am UK time!

About Dr. Brittney Hobb: Dr. Brittney Hobbs is, a Pain Liberation Coach, clinical pharmacist, and certified Pain Reprocessing guide, who blends neuroscience, somatics, and intuitive healing to help women break free from chronic pain. After years of struggling with her own pain, that of her patients, and seeking answers beyond conventional medicine, Brittney discovered the profound connection between the brain, nervous system, and body. Now, through her signature Living Liberated program, she empowers women to understand pain as a messenger—not an enemy—so they can rewire their nervous systems, restore trust in their bodies, and reclaim their lives. Her transformative approach is built on five key pillars: Recognize the Protective Prison – Understanding chronic pain as an overprotection response. Embrace the Message of Pain – Learning to listen to the body's wisdom with compassion. Restore Safety and Trust – Teaching the nervous system that movement, feeling, and life itself are safe. Reclaim Your Power – Stepping into the role of the empowered heroine beyond pain. Reconnect with the Flow of Life – Aligning with natural rhythms, including menstrual cycles, intuition, and purpose.  She merges science with soul, weaving together pain neuroscience, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and feminine wisdom—including astrology, human design, and cyclical living. Whether in her women's healing circles or private coaching, Brittney helps her clients shift from frustration and fear to freedom and empowerment. What We Discuss In This Episode Pain Management for Midlife Women   - Explores timeline of pain onset and life events, sometimes back to childhood   - Views pain as a nervous system response to perceived lack of safety   - Utilizes somatic practices to access body's "living library" of stored experiences   - Aims to bring subconscious reactions to conscious awareness for better management Movement and Joint Pain   - Advocates for varied, non-linear movement throughout the day (e.g., yoga, Tai Chi)   - Emphasizes importance of lubrication and cushioning in joints through regular movement   - Encourages pushing beyond comfort zones while respecting limitations Inflammation and Nutrition   - Highlights role of diet in managing inflammation and joint pain   - Recommends gradual incorporation of anti-inflammatory foods (fruits, vegetables)   - Suggests focusing on adding healthy foods rather than strict elimination of others Self-Care and Reconnection for Midlife Women   - Encourages scheduling dedicated time for self-reflection and personal interests   - Emphasizes importance of filling one's own cup to better serve others   - Highlights positive impact of self-care on overall health and cellular function Next Steps   - Implement 1-3 minute daily check-ins to increase body awareness and self-connection   - Gradually incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables into diet to combat inflammation   Free Resource from Dr. Brittney Hobbs: 3 Simple Steps to Start Reducing Pain Today - designed to help women shift from frustration to freedom by understanding the deeper messages behind their discomfort.

Dee Anna's story is one of resilience, adventure, and refusing to let society define her limits.  Born with a genetic mutation that affected her mobility, she faced a lifetime of challenges—from intensive physiotherapy as a child to being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2022. Along the way, she also navigated severe autism, trauma, and life-altering setbacks that could have stopped her in her tracks. But instead, she turned to the outdoors. In this episode, Dee shares how thru-hiking the South West Coast Path became the turning point that changed everything. With no home, no job, and facing immense personal struggles, she took a leap of faith and embarked on a 71-day journey that helped her reclaim her life. We talk about the power of movement, nature's role in healing, and why adventure should be accessible to everyone. Now, as a scientist, outdoor journalist, and founder of The Introvert Magazine, Dee is on a mission to inspire others to embrace nature, break barriers, and live life on their own terms. This is a powerful and deeply moving conversation about survival, self-discovery, and the courage to forge your own path.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!Last week was “needs”; this week it's all about “needs's” sexy cousin. If “needs” are critical, “desires” are not; in fact, they're often destructive. We'll cover what the devil desires and how we can keep him from getting it; a vision of heaven on earth that I consider blasphemous; a rationalization for adultery, or at least hypothetical adultery, that's all the rage these days; and a game that proves getting hungry for something sweet is not the same as eating dessert.Check out Hal on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@halhammons9705Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

About Amita Sharma As a co-founder of NourishDoc, a global holistic wellness platform, Amita is on a mission to bring awareness and education for women going through hormonal transition from puberty and post menopause. NourishDoc has designed evidence-based holistic wellness programs for self-care and prevention on 20+ topics and 20+ holistic therapies. What We Discuss In This Episode:  Welcome back to the show, ladies! Today, we're diving into something that affects millions of us, yet still doesn't get talked about nearly enough—perimenopause and menopause. If you've been dealing with brain fog, mood swings, sleep struggles, hot flashes, or just not feeling like yourself lately, you are so not alone—and you are absolutely in the right place. In this episode, we're talking about natural relief—specifically, holistic therapies that support your body, mind, and spirit through this incredible (and sometimes bumpy!) midlife transition. We're going to walk you through the most effective natural approaches—from nutrition to movement, mindfulness, energy balancing, and beyond. These are the very tools I use and recommend in my coaching practice to help women move from overwhelmed to empowered. Because here's the truth: You don't have to suffer in silence. You can feel vibrant, balanced, and in control again. And it all starts with understanding your options—and choosing a path that supports the whole you. So grab a cozy drink, pop in your earbuds, and let's get into it. This is your time to feel seen, supported, and strong. Let's begin. Key Takeaways Perimenopause often starts earlier (mid-30s to 40s) and is widely misunderstood, even by medical professionals Holistic approaches (meditation, yoga, supplements) show promise for managing symptoms, though more research is needed Post-menopausal women face increased risks of chronic conditions, emphasizing the importance of proactive health management NourishDoc aims to provide affordable, expert-guided wellness programs for women experiencing hormonal transitions.   Connect With Amita Sharma: Website: https://nourishdoc.com Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/Nourishdoc/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourish_doc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nourishdoc/   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

Dr. Caitlin Massone, ultra-runner, mountaineer, neurologist, and first-time author, sharing the story of her 14-year battle with eating disorders, and how she recovered in an unconventional way through finding endurance sports and nature. Her book, "Running from Perfection," comes out this spring (April 26th 2025).  Part memoir, part neuroscience, her story delves into the neurobiology of eating disorders, how our brains form habits and addictions, and how nature and exercise can help us heal from mental health disorders such as eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. Since regaining her health, Caitlin has run numerous marathons and ultramarathons, including a 50 mile race on the Mountains-to-Sea trail, and recently completed the Wonderland Trail around Mount Rainier (93 miles in three days). She has also embraced mountaineering, summiting Mount Rainier and Mount Baker, and is planning to climb Denali in 2026. Her story is about perseverance, overcoming mental health obstacles, and finding passion in sports that have transformed her from a 100-pound girl with anorexia to a strong, 150-pound athlete who is ready to take on new challenges!  Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about eating disorders, mental health challenges, and recovery.

About Rhiannon Neuharth: Rhiannon is a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, Board Certified Health Coach with the American Association of Natural Wellness Coaches and a Board-Certified member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. She began her journey in functional nutrition after struggling to maintain her chronically ill child's health with antibiotics. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she delved into research, eventually finding her passion in supporting others on the path to optimal health and wellness. With a focus on individuals with MTHFR, Rhiannon provides simple solutions to optimized wellness in just 90 days, without spending endless hours on Google.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Rhiannon shares how her youngest child's autoimmune deficiency and chronic illness led her to discover MTHFR, a genetic variation that affects the body's ability to process folate and other key nutrients. This sparked her passion for functional nutrition and supporting others with MTHFR-related health challenges. What is MTHFR and how does it impact our health? MTHFR stands for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase, a gene that plays a crucial role in converting folate and homocysteine. Rhiannon explains how MTHFR variations can contribute to a wide range of issues like hormone imbalances, weight problems, fatigue, ADHD, autism, and autoimmune conditions - regardless of age. Strategies for managing MTHFR and supporting overall health Rhiannon discusses the role of diet, lifestyle, stress management, and nervous system regulation in supporting those with MTHFR. She highlights the importance of gut health, hormone balance, and addressing nutrient deficiencies through targeted supplementation. The importance of comprehensive testing  Rhiannon emphasizes the need for comprehensive genetic testing that looks at 165 genes, rather than just one or two. This provides a clear action plan and insights into the root causes of a person's symptoms. She contrasts this with typical doctor-testing that may miss key factors.   Resources from Rhiannon Neuharth: Learn more about comprehensive testing by texting TEST to (321) 335-2414   Connect With Rhiannon Neuharth: Website: https://www.Revitalizing-Wellness.com TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com@MTHFR_Coach Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mthfr_Coach   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.
