On Women Breaking My Record

February 28, 2017

Going through the dozens of applications received for Her International so far, I can’t help but feel inspired by all of the women who not only have a dream, but are taking actionable measures in order to make that dream a reality. It takes guts, courage and commitment to make a goal come to life!


Now and then I’ll receive emails of inspiration from women who are devoting themselves towards breaking my record. It always has me thinking as to why I chose to break this particular record instead of one of the other hundreds of travel records out there… Rushing to every country for a record when I could have enjoyed the journey? As a woman, I saw an opportunity to do something that had only been achieved by man, to break through those barriers and make Women’s History. I never liked to think that I was potentially limited with what I could do in life because of my gender and I had an innate desire to want to prove this to the world as well; that women can obviously not only shatter a men’s record, but they can travel alone far and wide if they do so choose. I wonder why many women still want to beat my record and not break the glass ceiling in new ways or forms of travel and exploration, perhaps it’s just to prove to people that if it can be done once, it can be done again, with the possibility of seeing less and less each time. Either way, travel should be an enjoyable and educational journey, and by sacrificing my own ability of fully experiencing each country, my hopes were to pave the way for women who aspire to explore corners of the world and feel that they can safely do so alone. The years of hard work I put into this was able to inspire hundreds of thousands of women (and men!) around the world to do big things even if that thing is doing it all over again and for that, I am honorably humbled. In addition to Her International, I’m grateful to Guinness for ensuring proper documentation of my travels which lead to earning a spot in the National Women’s History Museum’s Outdoor Exhibit, thereby making my dream to leave a positive legacy behind, a reality. To all the future women who will break the glass ceiling! ??

Prior to 2020, my entire life revolved around trav Prior to 2020, my entire life revolved around travel and my career - burning myself out traveling the world, racing Ironmans around the world, filling my schedule, feeling immensely pressured, and pushing myself to my limits. Then 2020 turned a page, and things slowed down… for longer than expected. By 2022, I was ready for life to pick back up again - to be busy, travel, race - until everything came to a head, yet again.Life at that point for me, sort of stopped, or at least, took a break… without my consent. I always try to shift my view and figure out how to make the best out of the worst of situations in life. Of course I wallow in the darkness for a bit when it first hits - but I can’t stay there for long. I plan for the future, for when I can emerge with power and grace, for when these trying times are all said and done. And I try to enjoy the present moments, focusing only on the things that bring me joy. Even if I’ve had a rough day, I make sure to be kind to myself, and reward myself with a few of the things from my list of 20 simple things that bring me joy. I’ve finally mastered this practice. 🍃One regret from Expedition 196 (my trip around the world), was that I didn’t plan for what I was going to make of my life and my career when it was all said and done. I’ve learned my lesson. And that planning and execution, along with honoring my peace and self worth, is what gives me hope. In the past when hard times have hit, depression owned me and I felt I had no way out. But I’ve since learned now how to maintain my sense of self, to seek out that positive flow, and I know what I need focus on to avoid or *stall* slipping into that darkness.While I’m in this *blip* in life, unable to focus my efforts on the things I’d spent the last 15 years executing, I find immense solace, release and content in focusing on the very things that I do have in my control: my body and my mind. 🏃🏼‍♀️If you’re going through a hard time, too, bring it back to your most basic elements; focus on those, become an expert in the mechanics of your mind and body, so when you do emerge from this dark space in time, you actually come out… stronger. 🏋🏼‍♀️
