In this episode, I sit down with Lena Kemna to explore the raw and real journey of becoming the first female German big wave surfer — all while pursuing a PhD, working as a brand consultant, creating content, free diving, and more. Lena opens up about what it means to show up authentically, and how small steps can lead to big transformations.
Together, we explore:
- Why she chose to share the not-always-glamorous side of becoming a big wave surfer in her documentary “L E N A”
- Navigating Nazaré as a beginner — and a woman
- How she balances pushing limits while honoring her intuition
- Her advice for carving your own authentic path
- A surprise twist: Lena turns the mic and interviews me about my podcasting journey
…and so much more!
