Healing Through Surfing: How Surfing Led Wendy to Freedom
After a traumatic brain injury left her bedridden for months, Wendy found an unexpected path to healing through surfing, yoga, and meditation. What started as a dream while watching surf movies became a reality when she caught her first wave in Portugal. She later joined a surf therapy program in the Netherlands, which played a key role in her recovery from PTSD and social anxiety.
Seeking a life closer to nature, she left behind a conventional lifestyle in Amsterdam, bought a van, and traveled—eventually finding a deep sense of home in Morocco’s surf community. Along the way, she discovered the power of meditation, Yin Yoga, and surrendering to life’s flow.
Now, Wendy shares her journey through writing, teaching yoga, and planning surf retreats that focus on surfing from the heart rather than competition. Her story is a testament to resilience, trust, and choosing joy over fear.

Welcome back to my podcast, Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things!
In this episode, I’m thrilled to have a conversation with African volleyball champion Nora Darrhar. Nora opens up about her incredible journey—overcoming injuries, setbacks, and the challenges that come with pursuing greatness. She shares how resilience played a key role in her success and how surfing became an essential part of her physical and mental recovery.
Her story is packed with valuable lessons for all of us—whether you’re an athlete or not. We often set goals but fall short because we don’t push ourselves enough. Nora’s journey shows how grit and determination can elevate us to new heights, whatever success means to you.
As you’ll hear, Nora speaks passionately and candidly about her path—from Morocco to California—and the crossroads she’s now navigating as she prepares for the next phase of her growth. I’m excited to see what’s ahead for her!

Building a Healthy and Conscious Community: The Show Up Experience | With Dr Jake Wright
I am excited to share my recent conversation with Jake, an inspiring individual who is making a positive impact in the wellness space.
We discussed the importance of pursuing what truly matters and overcoming the fear of change. It was refreshing to hear his perspective on wearing multiple hats and finding a balance. He emphasized the significance of surrounding yourself with the right people and having a disciplined routine.
His project, Show Up, aims to create a sense of community and belonging for expats in Barcelona and other places in Europe. Through breathwork, cold exposure, and consciousness activities, they provide a space for deep connections and emotional support. It was heartwarming to hear about the positive impact they have had on people's mental and physical health.
Jake is a great example of someone who pursued his passion and is creating a positive impact on people. He is building communities around Europe and wearing multiple hats.
If you're interested in learning more, check out Show Up on Instagram. They also have retreats coming up in September and offer online learning modules for a monthly subscription fee.
I hope you find their journey as inspiring as I did. Let's continue to pursue what truly matters and create a healthier and more conscious world together.
