“I'm not a 70-year-old woman on the trail, I'm a free spirit dancing with gravity.” - Henrietta Stern, mountain biking icon 🚵🏽♀️ 💜
This week, we’re breaking the mold with not one, but FIVE remarkable guests – all powerhouse women from the San Francisco Bay Area mountain biking scene.
Meet Jessica, Jenna, Henrietta, Lisa, and Alexis – a group of community entrepreneurs, passionate riders, certified instructors, and social leaders who are changing the face of mountain biking. I was enthralled with their stories of resilience and transformation, shared with wit, joy and candor, and so will you! 🙌🏽
We uncover how they -
- Navigated cultural expectations and overcame physical setbacks to pursue their passion
- Discovered the power of female camaraderie and built a supportive community on and off the trails
- Became advocates for inclusivity, expanding access to mountain biking for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Listen for:
-The importance of finding joy in movement and connecting with nature. ��
-How to overcome fear and build confidence through proper training and supportive community.
-Tips for staying physically and mentally strong to enjoy an active lifestyle at any age.
