    Have you ever had trouble falling asleep the night before a river run because you're nervous or anxious? I definitely have. I created an exercise that helps me turn this anxiousness into a useful tool and practice opportunity. During today's episode I explain my opinions on the concept of courage and fear. I DON'T think courage is being scared and doing it anyway. I actually low key hate that definition and concept in general of running big rapids while you're scared. During this episode I'm explaining my process for working THROUGH the fear so instead you're running rapids calmly, securely, and powerfully.

    "My goal is to first understand without judgment. Therapeutic change happens under similar conditions that I enjoy eating a burrito: a judge free zone where it’s safe to be messy. You can expect my style to reflect core values of empathy and authenticity wrapped in a soft shell of playful fun and humor." - Nick

    On today's episode, we share stories about paddling together, brainstorm ways for introverted "crew chameleons" to build community and reflect on the lingering grief response after Hurricane Helene for Paddlers.

    Nothing feels like it's in your control. You have such little say and everything is just ~happening~ around you. BULLSHIT. Take your control back. Leave the overwhelm and helplessness behind. It's time for you to get up and do shit about it.

    In today's episode, I gently welcome you into a meditation to bring back your power. You ARE in control. I want to help you realize that! You can expect a meditation practice with journal prompts and a pep talk. Let's get to hit.

    So you want to go on a grand canyon trip, you want to land your dream job, you want to travel, you want a community full of badasses who also love being down to earth and chill while occasionally sending the gnar? In today's episode I share how building connections led to me making my dreams come true and going on my first, second, and now third grand canyon trip. This also how my clients have landed dream jobs (multiple!!! myself included), found the most supportive partners of their lives (myself included), and built calm confidence that was previously unimaginable. This is how to make shit happen for YOU too.

  • 72: How to Safely Adventure in Storms for Paddlers

    This episode is intended to serve as a resource for how to "chase rain" and prepare for a big storm from a paddler's perspective. I go over how to read hydrographs, make bucket lists, and determine a safe time to go paddling.

    I recorded this episode just after Hurricane Helene hit my area. At that point I honestly had no idea of the damage and what it turned out to be was truly incomprehensible. My home is okay, but so many folks' are not. This episode is not specifically about paddling in hurricanes or post-hurricanes. I was so unaware of the larger scale impact for the area at the time of recording.
