From Couch to Coastline: The 1,800-Mile Ride That Reclaimed a Life

from Kevjet - The Podcast · host Kevin Cottreau

    After brain surgery shattered her world and left her immobilised, grieving the life she once knew, author Risa August made a bold, defiant choice—she got up and rewrote her story. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary: an epic 1,800-mile bicycle journey from Canada to Mexico that became her path to healing, rediscovery, and powerful self-reinvention. In this episode, she opens up about the crushing setbacks, the unexpected strangers who became lifelines, and the creativity that helped piece her back together. It’s a raw, inspiring story of how small, courageous choices can rebuild purpose, ignite compassion, and awaken an unshakable resilience.   https://www.risaaugust.com/    Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kevjet-the-podcast--6542907/support.
