Say Yes To Challenges & Reach Your Goals with Jessica Mah

Karey Harris Season 1 Episode 55

In this episode of "Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey" host Karey Harris speaks with Jessica Mah, a law student studying in the UK, who recently completed Ironman New Zealand - the full distance triatholon.  They explore Jessica's journey from saying yes to a bike race challenge in the gym, to the world of distance racing and then to triatholon.  

As a young girl Jessica grew up dancing competitively, but when she finished high school and dance came to an end, like most young women her age she wondered what the next chapter in her life would be.  She finished her political science degree and decided to further her studies and go into law and to experience studying abroad. Moving from Saskatchewan to the UK was a challenge, and the experience of living life solo and independently, offered her many lessons in personal growth.  She expanded her thinking even further and committed to a "mindset over everything" perspective. 

Her experience as a dancer taught her work ethic, dedication and resilience and she used that foundation to train for the grueling Ironman race in New Zealand. Jessica traded in her tap shoes for runners, bodysuits for bikes, and dance smiles for swim strokes. In this episode Jessica shares her insights on mindset, the power of saying yes, and the wisdom of embracing challenges and believing in yourself.

Key Takeaways:

  • Jessica's journey illustrates the power of mindset.
  • The steps to take to train for an Ironman or any other big goal you set for yourself.
  • How the countless hours of training are worth it.
  • You are capable of so much more than you think.  
  • Do the things that scare you.
  • Push yourself out of your comfort zone.
  • Just start and see where it takes you.
  • Women don't need comparison, they need strong self-esteem and support.
