Psych for Life with Dr. Amanda Ferguson

Where Passion Meets Climate Action, with Lisa Blair, World Sailor

July 30, 2025 • Dr. Amanda Ferguson • Episode 140

On this episode of Psych to Life, I chat with Lisa Blair OAM, the fastest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica on her yacht Climate Action. She very nearly didn’t live to tell the tale, in a life-threatening dismasting. Lisa is now setting her sights on her upcoming NZ records before focusing on the Arctic Ocean.

Tune in to hear our discussion on -

- Dealing with uncertainty; whilst we can chart a course, there's always unexpected challenges

- How Lisa manages her mindset

- The importance of adversity and resilience

And so much more as Lisa discusses her amazing solo sailing experiences.
