In this episode I speak with Ohana athlete, Shagrila Rendon of Feisty Fox Coaching.

She regularly takes on larger and larger ultra feats fuelled by guts and driven by pure determination to leave behind the ghosts of her horrible past.

Though seen by the outside world to have it all together (a blossoming career, flourishing in the rigours of academia and participating in ultra events) for many years her inner world was flush with turmoil -- abuse, eating disorders, PTSD, severe depression and alcoholism.

At the age of 34 she was finally able to put those dark days behind her and use her healing journey to provide hope and help for others when she set out to complete the Beyond Myself Project during the depths of the Covid crisis.
