“Let’s lead with bravery, because bravery opens up doors and opportunities.” – Caroline Paul

At 13 years old, Caroline Paul was determined to set a new Guinness World Record for crawling—and she’s been living a trailblazing life of adventure ever since. The former firefighter, scuba diver, white-water rafter, paddleboarder, pilot, TED Talker, and New York Times bestselling author is a true advocate for women and girls, teaching them how to live gutsy, exhilarating lives.

In her new book, Tough Broad, Caroline dives deep into why women often aren’t encouraged to keep adventuring as they age—and why challenging this notion is so crucial for our health and wellness. She joins women from their 50s through their 90s on all sorts of outdoor adventures—from boogie boardingto wing walking to BASE jumping—sharing their stories of living life to the fullest and defying society’s expectations of what they “should” be at their age.

In this episode, Caroline talks about her personal journey, discusses the importance of encouraging adventure and risk-taking for girls and women, and shares fun insights from writing Tough Broad. She also offers advice for aspiring authors on pursuing their dreams.
