Don't discount yourself - With Savannah Awde #201

from Motivate to Move Hosted by John Leygraaf

In this episode of Motivate to Move, we chat with Savannah Awde, a Fredericton-based adventurer, journalist, and all-around powerhouse. When she’s not working as a reporter and editor for CBC, Savannah can be found pushing her limits — on the trails, in the mountains, or halfway up a frozen waterfall. Savannah recently completed 85 km at Loonie Loops, her longest distance yet! John met her there in the middle of the night — she was smiling, chatting, and moving strongly while he tried to keep up (and didn’t). In July, she took her energy to the Québec Mega Trail, and when she’s not running, she’s out rock climbing, scaling cliffs, or ice climbing in the winter. We talk about what drives her, how she balances a demanding career with her passion for adventure, and the funny, unforgettable moments that come with exploring wild places. From late-night ultrarunning conversations to epic photos hanging off icy cliffs — this episode is as inspiring as it is entertaining. 🎧 Tune in for laughs, motivation, and a healthy dose of “if she can do it, maybe I can too.” Motivate to Move Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=motivate%20to%20move Motivate to Move email: [email protected] Give the gift of life and donate blood today.
