Wild and soft adventurer Sarah Outen rowed solo across the planets big oceans and cycled across the continents. She tells us what the oceans taught her, and how the ocean is such a good metaphor for life. Those big waves that throw you around and sometimes crush you, but how, if you just let them move through, and trust the process, good weather will come back… Sarah tells the back story to how she came to row across the Indian ocean, and how the grief over the sudden death of her father was a key factor to her deciding to row solo. And how that first journey lead to a quest to seek out more oceans and continents link to Sarah's film: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/sarahoutenhome/393996855 website: sarahoutenhome.com We speak about how sometimes you have to just do those things you dream of, if not now, when? How different needs arise as we continue on lives journey The differences between being with lots of people , or in complete solitude out on the ocean The surrendering to the experience - The ocean as a metaphor for life, the way it is always in movement, knocks you down, picks you up, etc. How on the ocean you just have to find a way, to survive, even when you are terrified How to welcome the fear, and keep remembering, that we have to keep going through these processes How life on the ocean can often be easier, less choices, more simplicity, more clarity Fearing coming back on land after 4 months alone at sea The gorgeous word “discombobulating” when describing life… Waste, materialism and the disconnect to our planet, to where we come from How when we feel connected to the earth we feel that deep belonging - feeling of coming home Her difficult journey with PTSD due to being caught for days in a tropical storm on the Pacific Going to boarding school at 8 years old, that has consequences How the storms might even bring you a wife Training to be a therapist How she has now got 4 Donkeys, and is learning lots of donkey wisdom We talk about our relationship to rest, to setting boundaries and being clear in our communication What does settling down mean? The constrictions of labelling and expectations Sarah's ABC of what it takes to row across an ocean: attitude, belief and courage We talk about the beautiful softness in vulnerability Trusting the processes and the fluidity of life Letting go is the chance for letting something new in, for change How the best stuff comes from life not going to plan Trust the mess and bless the mess - you will come out the other side and everything changes Let go of effort, and peace will arrive - Rumi You have to let go to have a go Being scared of our own bubbles - our own mind is our biggest challenge Being with sperm whales and knowing that there is a deep, almost spiritual connection. The connectedness to the universe that came from being alone in nature for so long Disconnection and remembering to reconnect again The importance of nourishing ourselves The best way of surviving life well, is by preparing the territory with softness, care and nurture My website: www.duritaholm.com

It's a snowy January episode but my guest co-host this month brings adventurous stories of rowing the Atlantic, bees, donkeys, and finding nature in the most unlikely of places! An inspiring episode and my very first person interviewed with an OBE (but it might not be best to mention it to her...), it's Sarah Outen.

This second of a two part interview with Sarah Outen tells the story of her astounding four year journey around the globe from London to London. Sarah tells us about adapting as plans change, the art of control (and not having it), and how the idea for journeying on land was brewed in the middle of the ocean. And there's a human side to Sarah's adventures too, including an unforeseen blossoming romance and the inspiring tale of Gao, who proves that planning is not an essential factor in embarking on a big challenge.

Originally aired October 23, 2017 Between 2011 and 2015, Sarah Outen kayaked, cycled and rowed over 20,000 miles around the northern hemisphere - across Europe and Asia, the Pacific, North America and the Atlantic. It was a journey of contrasts and extremes in terrain, weather, cultures and climates.

When cabin fever first set in during the early stages of the pandemic, we turned to the experts for help: three women who chose to live in isolation for long stretches of time, whether at a fire lookout in Idaho, on a remote Greek island, or in a sea kayak, like Sarah Outen did while rowing solo across the Pacific Ocean. Three months later, and we're still grappling with what it means to isolate ourselves from friends and family. So we decided to check back in with Outen, a British rower, biker, and adventurer who has spent months-long stretches alone in grueling conditions, including a solo row across the Indian Ocean and a four-year, around-the-world solo trip executed exclusively on bikes, kayaks, and row boats. In this week's episode, she shares her tips for making it through the toughest stretches of being alone, stories about a logistically complicated long-distance relationship, and her newfound joy from rest. (That said, she'll likely inspire you to haul your bike out of the garage and get moving, too.)

What does home mean to you? Sarah Outen and adventure film producer Jen Randall have captured what it can mean for a round-the-world adventurer in their beautiful film, Home. It follows Sarah’s four-and-a-half year journey around our planet by rowing boat, kayak and bike, charting both her joys and the darkest corners. Sarah has been a hero of mine for years and I was honoured to sit down with her and talk about trauma, confidence, purpose, vulnerability and her new venture into psychotherapy training. Sarah was severely affected by a tropical storm that left her clinging on to her boat for three days before rescue, subsequently developing PTSD and a deep depression in the months after, conditions that stole her sleep and wreaked flashbacks and terrors. With quality therapy she is recovering - and returned to close the loop of her incredible journey - but it has been far from a linear process. She spoke to me about her breakdowns in 2016 and 2018, and how she has opened up about her mental health experiences by degrees, as well as what it’s been like to reckon with being vulnerable on film. We also discuss how her first expedition - a solo and record-breaking row across the Indian Ocean - helped her begin to process grief from losing her dad. This was one of the hardest edits I’ve had to do since starting the podcast; there was interference over the line that was super tough to fix. You will hear some of this, but I hope it doesn’t detract from Sarah’s inspirational story. She is such a warm, down to earth and calm soul and I love her approach to life. You can download Home (soon!) or find a screening through the website. Sarah's also written a book, Dare to Do, charting the raw realities of her adventures, including her terrifying experience in the Pacific. Please show her some love on social and share this story.

Sarah Outen is an adventurer by land and sea, bestselling author and motivational speaker. Keen to encourage people outside and enable young people to access adventure, she is a proud ambassador and patron of a number of charities.  Candid about her own mental health struggles and journey, Sarah is keen to encourage others to seek help and share their vulnerabilities.  In November 2015 Sarah completed her London2London:Via the World expedition, a mammoth attempt to row, cycle and kayak 25, 000 miles around the Northern Hemisphere. The journey took 4.5 years and was all the richer for not turning out exactly as planned. 'Home', the feature film of that journey releases across the UK in October 2019.   *Please be aware that during this podcast we discuss, grief, trauma, and going to dark places.  Before you listen to this episode please just make sure that you are in a good space.

Can medical statistics be transformed into music? That was the challenge set by epidemiologist Elizabeth Pisani for composer Tony Haynes. The result was Song of Contagion to be performed this month by his Grand Union Orchestra with steel pans, saxophones and singers telling the story of diseases including Zika and AIDs. What Is 4Chan? How an anonymous social network spawned some of the biggest and most recognisable online political movements. We look at the origins, the people who use it and where it’s going. And why do we talk to ourselves? Matthew Sweet hears how it can calm us down, help us organise our thoughts, and in the case of Sarah Outen, who spent four and a half years rowing, cycling and kayaking around the planet, he hears how it saved her life on more than one occasion.

We all do it – sometimes. It can be embarrassing or just the way we organise our thoughts, a tool for remembering what is important. Sarah Outen, who spent four and a half years rowing, cycling and kayaking around the planet, says talking to herself, out loud, may have saved her life on more than one occasion. The actor, Steve Delaney, has created an alternate persona, Count Arthur Strong, whose most vivid character trait is talking to himself. We all have more wisdom than we dare to think we've got, according the psychotherapist Philippa Perry, it's just a matter of speaking it. In this edition of the Why Factor, Matthew Sweet asks who are we talking to when we talk to ourselves. (Photo: A man talks to himself in the mirror. Credit to Getty Images)

Justine lives in Wales, is 35 years old and started kayaking 12 years ago with a local canoe club.  When she was at university Justine loved team sports and represented England in hockey, only discovering walking, mountain biking and kayaking when she left university.   She started a career in television at about the same time she discovered kayaking, and she soon gave up her job to pursue sea kayaking adventures and film them to make a living.   Following her passion, was challenging and difficult for the first four years - people refused to believe that sea kayaking could be exciting!

Justine is an avid and accomplished sea kayaker and has explored many of the world’s best paddling spots - New Zealand, Newfoundland, Norway, Tasmania, the Queen Charlotte Islands, Alaska, California...the list goes on! Show notes How she discovered the outdoors and fell in love with the mountain The challenges she faced of wanting to follow her passion Why it did come down to luck and her determination How she came to make her first sea kayaking video Remembering the important first steps and why she learnt to ask for what she wanted Why its important to share your goals and why you need to give 100% to your goals The expeditions that have stood out for Justine and why she kept upping the challenge after every adventure.  Taking on the Aleutian Islands, “the birth place of the winds” with Sarah Outen  Why she decided to say yes the adventure and why for her attitude is more important than skill Being told the crossings they wanted to do were impossible! (It wasn’t!) Being prepared to give it a go and being prepared to work hard and to wait for the weather 5 months for the planning and training Dealing with the long crossings and how she keeps on going The addictive feeling from from being on an adventure Dealing with the fear and worry in your head Mental tricks she uses while out Kayaking What she’s learnt from making mistakes  Dealing with fear and how she turns it into action Future challenges!

This week on the Tough Girl Podcast we talk to Sarah Outen where she discussed her journey from London all the way around the northern hemisphere and back to London by rowing, kayaking and cycling. In order to do this Sarah had to overcome a variety of challenges. She’s endured extreme conditions in remote environments, often being alone for months at a time.  A typhoon during the North Pacific crossing forced a mid Ocean rescue from her rowing boat in 2012 and a hurricane on the Atlantic this summer forced a pre-emptive evacuation after 143 days at sea. She has also kayaked some of the most treacherous waterways in the world and cycled across North America during one of the harshest Winters on record. After 4.5 years and over 25,000 miles, Sarah has made it back home, arriving back on midday on the 3rd November 2015. Sarah shares the following on the podcast: Her background and what’s inspired her to achieve what she’s achieved Becoming the first woman to row across the Indian ocean Turning her dream into a reality Persevering through the most treacherous conditions A typical day cycling from Europe to Asia How to overcome bad conditions  Her highlights and low points Her best memories and highlights from the trip. The people she met  Celebrating the milestones The most terrifying experience on her journey The healing process after a traumatic experience Tips for coping with isolation Dealing with challenge and change What she learned about herself on this journey and what’s next for her! Don’t forget to check out previous episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast! - All links and information on www.toughgirlchallengs.com.
