Episode 36 : Erin Machan
“There’s something really magical that happens in an endurance race. Especially when you’re really present and full of gratitude and are open to it because it’s such a crazy trip in your head for that many hours suffering on a bike. For some it sounds absolutely miserable and in some ways it is. At the same time i’ve never started a race and ended it the same person. I always end it with much more appreciation, gratitude and love, I end it so much more grateful for my life.”
Erin Machan is one of the most powerful women I know. She plays life full out in all areas of her life. Life shows up and she’s there to match it. She’s a competitive Cross Country CYCLIST doing crazy things like 24 hour races on her bike, she’s co-founder of the nonprofit Project Bike Love delivering bikes to women and girls around the world, she’s a beast at pushing her life to it’s max and we haven’t even gotten to her day job yet!, One this episode we get into the details of what it means to play full out and show up and be brave and look back and say fuck yeah.
