ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine Goad shares the personal journey that led her to become the Surfing Your Edge Coach. From searching for clarity and waiting to feel “ready” to confronting her fear of open water, she explores how learning to move forward without having the whole path figured out can open the door to unexpected possibilities.
Her story ultimately leads to the adventure that inspired Surfing Your Edge—and a powerful approach to stepping beyond your comfort zone and creating a bigger, bolder life.
The Shift Beneath the Words:
- You don’t need the whole path before you begin
- You may not feel ready until after you begin
- Keeping commitments to yourself matters
- Growth comes from moving toward what challenges you
About the Host:
Kristine Goad is endlessly curious about the moment when “I could never” becomes “What if I tried?” As the Surfing Your Edge Coach, her work centers on transforming our relationship with fear, trusting ourselves more deeply, and creating lives that feel bigger, bolder, and more fully our own. Her approach blends coaching, mental fitness, adventure, experimentation, and wonder—shaped by a life that has included bicycling across America, writing a memoir, building a business, and taking surf lessons to overcome her fear of open water in her late 40s. She is less interested in fearless living than in what becomes possible when we get curious about the things that scare us.
