Surfing Your Edge: Where Fear and Possibility Meet

About Surfing Your Edge: Where Fear and Possibility Meet

Surfing Your Edge is the personal growth podcast for people who know they’re meant for more—but don’t want a life that only looks good on paper. Hosted by Kristine Goad, the Surfing Your Edge Coach, each episode brings honest conversations, personal stories, and practical insights to help you transform your relationship with fear, trust yourself more deeply, and experiment your way into a bigger, bolder, more badass life. Together, you’ll explore courage, confidence, reinvention, and what it means to prioritize joy, wonder, peace, purpose, and possibility in rapidly changing, often chaotic times. This isn’t about chasing perfection or fixing yourself. It’s about making friends with fear, surfing the edge of your comfort zone, and becoming more fully who you were born to be.

   Just Start: Rich Struble on Coming Back to the Thing He Loved After 35 Years

   Join the Surfing Your Edge Salon at any paid level to participate in the 100 Days Experiment: https://kristine.substack.com/subscribe (https://kristine.substack.com/subscribe) What happens when you rediscover a passion you set aside decades ago? In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine reconnects with longtime friend Rich Struble, who returned to making music in his late 50s after decades away. Rich shares how personal challenges reignited his creativity, what he's learning along the way, and why he's pursuing music for the joy of it rather than as a business. It's an inspiring conversation about revisiting old dreams, embracing new challenges, and finding the courage to start before you have everything figured out. Highlights: Rich encourages others to overcome overwhelm by starting wherever they are, experimenting, making mistakes, and allowing their dreams to evolve naturally. It's Never Too Late to Revisit an Old Dream Creativity Can Be a Powerful Tool for Healing You Don't Need a Perfect Plan to Get Started Not Every Passion Needs to Become a Business Take Small Steps and Embrace the Learning Process About Rich Struble: Rich Struble was born in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, and spent much of his childhood in Maryland before moving to Battle Creek, Michigan where he graduated from Harper Creek High School in 1985. A lifelong performer, he grew up immersed in children’s, community, and high school theatre and later received a theatre talent scholarship to Central Michigan University. He started his first “band” in seventh grade and, after several false starts, eventually joined a successful band in Southern California. Today, Rich is recording original music again under two artist names: RICHIE and Red Head Effigy.

   Making the Time: Finding Purpose and Well Being Through Compassionate Self-Care

   In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine Goad sits down with retired educator, coach, and creator Pam to explore what it means to keep growing, experimenting, and creating at every stage of life. Pam shares how her experiences with teaching, coaching, self-compassion, podcasting, and entrepreneurship have unfolded one small step at a time — often without a clear roadmap. Together, they talk about the courage to try new things, the challenge of putting your work into the world when no one seems to be responding, and why self-care is an active expression of self-compassion. Pam also reflects on curiosity, aging, finding purpose beyond retirement, and the importance of making the most of the moment you’re in. Highlights: Pam encourages people to explore what they love, what they wonder about, and what they are good at, while remembering to appreciate the moment they are in. Growth doesn’t stop with age or retirement Big changes often happen one small step at a time Self-care is an expression of self-compassion Curiosity and presence can help guide your next chapter Creating and sharing your work requires persistence About Pam Van Nest: Pam Van Nest, a Self-Care Coach with PVN Coaching, helps women over 40 face the inner voices of perfectionism, self-doubt and second guessing to reconnect with what matters and make meaningful choices about their next chapter. With 38 years of experience as a teacher and instructional coach across Maine, Honduras, and Ontario, she is a certified CTI and ICF coach. She created the oracle card deck Making The Time and hosts the Making the Time podcast. Creative moments find her sewing, kayaking, sketching, painting, and biking. She respectfully acknowledges that she lives on the territory of the Michi Saagiig, and the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg and the traditional territory covered by the Williams' Treaties. She is aware of the privileges of being a cis gender, able bodied, white woman and continues to work to decolonize her practice, staying open to new learning, and sharing her gifts.

   Opening the Next Door: Saying Yes to Possibility, Intuition, and Flow

   What happens when you stop waiting for the perfect plan and simply say yes to the next opportunity that sparks your curiosity? In this episode, Kristine shares three unexpected experiences from her own “summer of yes”; returning to rowing after nearly four decades, joining a flash mob just for fun, and launching a podcast before she felt completely ready. Through each story, she explores how small decisions can open doors to new experiences, relationships, confidence, and possibilities we could never have planned in advance. This episode is an invitation to trust your curiosity and intuition, make room for fun, and remember that you don’t have to commit to the entire journey. Sometimes, you only need to say yes to the next step and see where it leads. The Shift Beneath the Words: You don’t need the whole plan before you begin Small yeses can lead to unexpected opportunities Fun is valuable in its own right Growth often requires acting before you feel ready Trusting your intuition becomes easier with practice You don’t have to commit to an entire journey when something sparks your curiosity. Opening the next door gives you information, experience, and possibilities. You can always decide later whether to continue, change direction, or choose something else.

   How to Find Your Agency When Life Feels Out of Your Control

   In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine explores what it really means to step into your agency; not by pretending you have unlimited control, but by getting curious about the possibilities available to you. Whether you’re navigating a career change, approaching retirement, adjusting to a new season of life, or feeling constrained by circumstances beyond your control, Kristine challenges you to question what you’ve accepted as inevitable. She shares how small, meaningful actions can strengthen your sense of agency, open doors to new opportunities, and move you toward a bigger, bolder, badassier life. Because agency isn’t just about creating the life you want, it’s also about choosing how you show up, the impact you have on others, and the legacy you want to leave behind. The Shift Beneath the Words: Agency is about recognizing your choices, not having unlimited control. Curiosity helps you uncover possibilities. Agency means choosing your next move. Small actions strengthen your sense of agency. Using your agency can create an impact beyond your own life. As you make courageous choices and become a fuller expression of yourself, you can inspire others, contribute to the world around you, and begin building the legacy you want to leave. 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.

    What Happened In Panama: The Adventure That Changed Who I Am-Part 2

    In Part 2 of the story behind Surfing Your Edge, Kristine takes us to Panama, where she created the first Surfing Your Edge experience while confronting her own lifelong fear of open water. What unfolded taught her that she didn’t have to be fearless—or have everything figured out—to lead others into meaningful transformation.

It’s about giving yourself permission to pursue the adventures and possibilities calling you forward—and bringing what you discover back into your everyday life. The Shift Beneath the Words: The Origins of Surfing Your Edge Becoming the Person Who Can Lead Your Vision Leading Through Vulnerability Fear doesn’t have to disappear before you move toward what matters Surfing Your Edge isn’t really about surfing.

    How to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone and Into Growth

    In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine explores what becomes possible when we stop treating fear as a stop sign and start seeing it as a guide toward growth. She challenges us to question the limitations we’ve accepted, stop “reality-sizing” our dreams, and create a bigger, bolder vision for our future. But this journey isn’t only about creating a more fulfilling life for ourselves. Kristine shares her vision for a community of movement makers—people willing to take meaningful action on the things they care about. You don’t have to solve the world’s biggest problems alone; you simply have to start where you are, use what you have, and take the next step toward something that matters. The Shift Beneath the Words: Fear Is a Guide, Not a Stop Sign Stop “Reality-Sizing” Your Dreams Your Vision of the Future Shapes Your Choices Today Personal Growth Can Create Wider Change Start Where You Are and Become a Movement Maker You don’t need to solve every problem or have everything figured out. Choose something you genuinely care about and take a few meaningful steps toward it. When many people do what they can, with what they have, those individual actions can collectively create significant change.

    What happens when life, other people, and the expectations around you make it harder to pursue the life you want?

    Why You Feel Stuck: Overcoming the Beliefs That Hold You Back

    In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine explores the invisible emotional barriers that keep us from choosing ourselves and creating the life we truly want. From believing you're "not ready" or "too late," to waiting for the perfect plan or the perfect time, she unpacks the limiting beliefs that quietly keep us stuck. Kristine shares why overwhelm is often a form of self-protection, how societal expectations shape our decisions, and why growth requires embracing uncertainty rather than avoiding it.

    How to Dream Bigger and Make Friends with Fear: The Bigger, Bolder, Badass Framework

    What might become possible if you allowed yourself to dream beyond the limits of your current reality? In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine introduces the Bigger, Bolder, Badass framework—the coaching model she created to help people imagine more for their lives, navigate the inner voices that try to keep them safe, and take meaningful action without waiting for fear to disappear. You’ll explore what it means to dream bigger than you have previously allowed yourself to dream, transform your relationship with your inner critic, and redefine what it means to be a badass: becoming the fullest expression of who you are without apologizing for it. Kristine also shares why fear does not always mean you should stop, how small life experiments can expand your comfort zone, and why failure can be useful information rather than proof that you should give up.

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.

    What It Means to Surf Your Edge—and Why I Created This Podcast

    In the first episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine Goad shares the experiences that shaped her life, her coaching philosophy, and the creation of this podcast. From years of searching for where she fit to realizing that she was never meant to squeeze herself into someone else’s box, Kristine explores what she learned by embracing uncertainty and creating a life and business that feel more fully her own. She reflects on bicycling across America, leaving behind the belief that she needed to feel ready before beginning, and discovering that a path is made by walking. Whether you’re navigating a major transition, considering something that scares you, or wondering what might be possible next, this episode is an invitation to begin surfing your own edge.
