What It Means to Surf Your Edge—and Why I Created This Podcast

In the first episode of *Surfing Your Edge*, Kristine Goad shares the experiences that shaped her life, her coaching philosophy, and the creation of this podcast. From years of searching for where she fit to realizing that she was never meant to squeeze herself into someone else’s box, Kristine explores what she learned by embracing uncertainty and creating a life and business that feel more fully her own. She reflects on bicycling across America, leaving behind the belief that she needed to feel ready before beginning, and discovering that **a path is made by walking.** Whether you’re navigating a major transition, considering something that scares you, or wondering what might be possible next, this episode is an invitation to begin surfing your own edge. **Free Gift** Surf Your Edge: From Fear to Freedom - This complete chapter from *Confident You: The Raw Conversations* traces two adventures, twenty years apart, and explores fear, identity, and why the real work of a life-changing experience begins after you come home. https://dedicated-creator-3091.kit.com/dfd03cb4d1 **The Shift Beneath the Words:** - Your Greatest Growth Happens at Your "Edge" - Authenticity Is More Powerful Than Fitting In - Don’t Keep Waiting Until You're Ready Through *Surfing Your Edge*, Kristine invites listeners into honest conversations about fear, self-trust, reinvention, curiosity, and the experiments that help us create lives that feel more fully our own—while making a positive impact in our own corner of the world. **About the Host:** Kristine Goad is endlessly curious about the moment when “I could never” becomes “What if I tried?” As the Surfing Your Edge Coach, her work centers on transforming our relationship with fear, trusting ourselves more deeply, and creating lives that feel bigger, bolder, and more fully our own. Her approach blends coaching, mental fitness, adventure, experimentation, and wonder—shaped by a life that has included bicycling across America, writing a memoir, building a business, and taking surf lessons to overcome her fear of open water in her late 40s. She is less interested in fearless living than in what becomes possible when we get curious about the things that scare us. **Connect with Kristine:** Substack: kristine.substack.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/kristinegoad LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kristinegoad Instagram: www.instagram.com/kristine.goad YouTube: www.youtube.com/@KristineGoad Website: kristinegoad.com Download your free gift: ***Surf Your Edge: From Fear to Freedom*** This complete chapter from *Confident You: The Raw Conversations* traces two adventures, twenty years apart, and explores fear, identity, and why the real work of a life-changing experience begins after you come home.
