Diana Nyad on How to Stop Getting in Your Own Way

from The Conferences for Women

For many of us, dreams, big or small, have a way of quietly slipping away, crowded out by obligations, self-doubt, or the fear of failing. Diana Nyad is not most of us.  Nyad became the first person in history to swim from Cuba to Florida completely unprotected and is one of the most compelling athletes and storytellers of our time. In her debut as host of Women Amplified, Lisa Bennett, longtime journalist and Editorial Director of the Conference for Women, sits down with Diana Nyad to explore what gets in the way of our goals and dreams, and the hard-won wisdom of a woman who refused to let any of it stop her.
