I think there's a lot of power in sort of forcing yourself to get specific about your fears and not judge whatever the answer is, because it's easy to say you know the thing that I need to feel safe, like, oh, that's silly, I shouldn't need that.
Ever wondered what it's like to pedal thousands of miles and face your deepest fears head-on? Mary Ann Thomas, a travel nurse, bike tourist, and writer, shares her incredible journey on 'Real Talk Radio' with Nicole Antoinette. As the brown queer daughter of Indian immigrant parents, Mary Ann brings a unique perspective to her stories of long-distance cycling. She recounts her solo ride from San Diego to Montreal and her adventurous trek across India from the Himalayas to Kerala.
But it's not just about the miles she's covered; it's about the lessons learned along the way. Mary Ann opens up about the kindness of strangers, preparing for daunting bike tours, and dealing with the fears that inevitably arise. She also tackles cultural norms, financial transparency, and the importance of honoring one's heritage. Through her candid and heartfelt stories, Mary Ann encourages listeners to confront their own fears and embrace vulnerability.
As she wisely notes, 'there's a lot of power in forcing yourself to get specific about your fears and not judge whatever the answer is.' This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration to challenge their own limits and find strength in vulnerability.
