Welcome to a new episode!

In this episode I chat to Purusha Gordon, a mum of 2 who, in 2021 rowed the Pacific Ocean in an all female team and got a world record for the fastest female crossing.

Purusha and I chat about how she gained back her fitness after putting on weight with her 2 sons how she undertook 40 challenges for 40 which led her to the row.

We talk about what it was like to leave her children, mum guilt and how her challenge has made her and her husband more equal parents.

Purusha also shares her plans for the future including Oceansheroes and plans to row the Indian Ocean in 2024 and then the Atlantic.

Purusha’s story is really inspiring and I hope you enjoy listening.
