Change the Channel with Layne Beachley

ON THIS EPISODE OF THE VERY BRAVE PODCAST

“We often hear this phrase, “We can’t be what we can’t see,” but I tend to stray away from that because otherwise we’re just waiting for someone else to give us permission.”

If something has never been done before, how do we as humans pluck up the courage to go out and do it? To say, I can do this, even if no one else has? Layne Beachley has some interesting insights on this concept because she’s been one of those people.

Layne is the most successful surfer in the world. Not the most successful “female” surfer, the most successful surfer period. She has won the world championship seven times, a feat no other surfer has accomplished.

But how did she do it? How did she keep pressing on when it seemed as if no one but herself thought it was possible?

First, she didn’t back down from the challenge. Throughout her life she experienced some terrible challenges, but rather than feel defeated by them, she chose to use them as motivation.

Her ability to use an otherwise negative situation to create a positive outcome is truly remarkable. Listen as she shares her story and what bravery means to her. She’s changing the channel on the negativity and inspiring us all to do the same.
