Episode 236: Carroll Dunham | Anthropologist, Explorer, Author

I’ve had a life where I’ve been able to see many ways… to see possibilities of what it means to be human and how to live a purposeful life and there is not one script.
— Carroll Dunham

I am so excited for you to meet one of the coolest, wisest, most interesting, and compassionate people I have had the chance to speak with. Carroll Dunham is a badass. She has followed her curiosity and passions from Princeton, NJ, to Nepal, where she lived, studying traditional medicines as an anthropologist and Buddhism, fostered local children, impacted economic development for women, and so much more. She’s an author, a producer, a speaker, a teacher, a National Geographic explorer, wife, mother, and compassionate activist. When I grow up, I hope to be like Carroll! Enjoy this episode packed with stories, wisdom, and insights into how to live an extraordinary life.
