68. How to do the impossible with Jenny Doan

Jenny Doan, a motivational speaker and world champion hula hooper, shares what it took to find her spark and truly feel alive. Jenny shares how her courageous journey kicked off with a leap of faith, leaving her secure analyst job in Perth to volunteer in Tonga for 12 months. From there, she made a series of intuitive decisions, including moving to Chicago, where she didn't know anyone, cycling across 20 countries, and eventually breaking three Guinness World Records for endurance hula hooping.  With her World Record titles intact, including one for hula hooping for 100 hours, she delves into the mindset, endurance, and resilience required to conquer such extraordinary feats. Jenny emphasizes the importance of pushing yourself beyond what you think is possible and not letting your logical mind dictate your decisions. She discusses the challenges she overcame while training for the World Records, including how she became more efficient at mastering her hoola techniques and dealing with extreme fatigue, sleeping for only four of the one hundred hours.  She shares her motivation for pursuing world records and the many life lessons she learned. Jenny also discusses her transition into motivational speaking and the value of sharing her experiences and lessons with others. Tune in to hear Jenny's incredible story, the emotional ups and downs, moments of doubt, and the triumphs that make her journey inspiring for all.   What we cover in this episode: A simple way to evaluate and define success.
