Today on The Rita Made Me DO it! Show I’m talking with Kristine Goad about living out your biggest, boldest, most audacious dreams and how, no matter what your age, profession or situation in life you can reinvent yourself. She also shares how doing the things that scared her most led her to create the Surfing Your Edge Experience, which helps women expand their comfort zones, re-envision who they are and what is possible for them - through the power of coming together to learn to surf.
Kristine Goad is a personal transformation coach and adventure retreat leader.
She gets bored easily and doesn’t fit into most of the standard boxes current society provides. As a result, she's made a life out of reinventing herself, asking questions and following where they lead, and doing the thing that scares her most at any given time. She's at her best when she's in over her head and having to figure out what comes next, which is why she's usually in the middle of doing something she doesn't yet know how to do.
She calls that surfing her edge.
Along the way, Kristine has written and published a book called Your Mileage May Vary; led a fundraising team for a national environmental organization; written for magazines, newspapers, and websites; participated in the largest cross-country bicycle event in U.S. history; competed in what was at the time the largest sprint-distance triathlon event in world history...all of which led to Kristine founding the Big, Bold, Begin It Project in 2015 to help people get their dreams out of their heads and into the world and the Surfing Your Edge Experience in 2018 to help other women expand their comfort zones, re-envision who they are and what is possible for them, and surf their own edges in whatever parts of their lives they choose.
