Confessions of a Surf Lady | The First Women's Surfing Podcast™
Hosted by Laura Day, this show gets into honest, thoughtful, and sometimes opinionated conversations about what it means to be a woman in the water today.
From women’s surfing and surf culture to confidence, identity, lineup dynamics, and personal stories, each episode explores the conversations we’re not always having out loud — but probably should be.
You’ll hear interviews with everyday surf ladies, professional surfers, local legends, community leaders, and women shaping surf culture, along with Laura’s own reflections on surfing, womanhood, and the real experiences that come with building a life around the water.
If you’re ready for an unfiltered conversation about what it’s really like to be a woman surfer, you’re in the right place.

55. From Frustration to Fun: A Flexible Approach to Difficult Surf Sessions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Surfing is hard—like, f*cking hard. It isn’t just a sport; it’s a journey of highs, lows, and everything in between. In this episode, we talk about how to cultivate a flexible mindset to keep your stoke alive—even on those tough days when nothing seems to be going right.
I share a personal story from a recent surf trip to Baja where I faced unexpected mental challenges in the water. Instead of letting frustration take over, I tapped into the power of flexibility—both in my mindset and my approach to the waves. Whether you’re struggling with a surf slump or just had one of those sessions where you feel totally off, this episode will give you actionable tips to shift your perspective and enjoy the ride.
🌊 What we’ll talk about :
- Expectations: How to ditch them (yes, we all need to sometimes).
- Mid-session Mindset Shifts: When you’re just not vibing with the ocean, what can you do to make it fun again?
- Documenting Progress: Why journaling even your worst sessions can be a game-changer (trust me, it’s magic).
