Riding Their Bike Across America — Lessons in Resilience & Defiance

Riding the TransAmerican Bicycle Trail from Virginia to Oregon is no small feat for any rider. But when completed by a solo rider, with a broken foot, and no money, who also happens to be 19, we are reminded that resilient humans are capable of anything. In the final episode of Season one of Tell Her She Can’t, hear how Calen Otto, a budget traveler with minimal cycling experience, rode their bike across the U.S. They share with us a few inspiring stories from the road. HOST: Kelly Lewis | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gokellylewis/">@gokellylewis</a> GUEST: Calen Otto |  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/unruly_traveller/">@unruly_traveller</a> For more inspiring stories of women around the globe, check out our book, Tell Her She Can’t.  <a href="https://tellhershecant.com/">https://tellhershecant.com/</a> NOTES: (0:58) The TransAmerican Bike Trail is not what you might expect. Calen explains how the trail is used and what to expect from this unconventional map as well as the catalyst for the journey. (3:10) Leading up to her trip, Calen’s foot was still in a cast, leaving her no time to practice long-distance cycling before their departure. As they gathered their research, they were met with both support and criticism for choosing to go it alone. (4:47) With so much stacked against them, moments in Calen's trip felt impossible to complete. They explain a few pivotal moments in the journey. Realizing just how unprepared they were could have sent her home, but Calen chose to press on and had incredible experiences to show for it. (11:21) The trail is over four thousand miles long and took Calen nearly six months to complete, working along the way. Calen wanted to see if the universe had their back - hoping that this trip would shift their worldview. (13:28) Blood, sweat, tears, and the kindness of strangers got Calen through to the end of the trail. Calen expected to feel grounded, find purpose but the emotional reality fell short of the “ah-ha!” moment Calen was hoping for. Instead, Calen learned that it is possible to travel with very little money and still do the things they love. (16:05) Calen reminds us of the importance of going our own way and that we can still achieve our dreams despite the naysayers.

An ambitious and independent spirit, Deidre Mathis defied convention when she became the first black woman to own a hostel in the United States.

She defiantly realized that everything her brother could do, she should be able to do, too. (2:06) Despite pressure from her family to study medicine, Deidre decided to pursue a degree in journalism. During her sophomore year, she won a study abroad scholarship that would change the course of her life forever. (4:37) Enchanted by the excitement of travel, she gathered information on the road and honed her preferences, noting improvements at each hostel she visited. Hear how she decided to take the leap to open a brick-and-mortar business. (6:37) Deidre’s early estimates to open a hostel were close to $1M. She had less than $20,000 to her name, but that did not slow her dream down. Hear how Deidre raised the funds to start her business. (8:58) New business ventures can riddle any entrepreneur with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Diedre explains how she manages and overcomes these challenges. She offers sound advice for anyone looking to begin a business. (13:06) Taking risks early on, like moving to Costa Rica, set the tone for Deidre’s career. She explains the importance of following your own north star. The tell Her She Can’t Podcast is produced by Elise Fitzsimmons | helloelisefitz@gmail.com

Finding Your Voice Amidst Family Who Say You “Can’t”: Arti Awatharami

So much of what we believe we can do is wrapped up in what society and our family tells us we are able to do. When someone is trying to straddle two cultures at the same time, the list of acceptable behaviors is often compounded and conflicting. Arthi Awatharami, a first-generation immigrant, experienced this first hand. Despite hearing “no” and “can’t” constantly, Arthi carved out a life for herself on her own terms. Hear how. HOST: Kelly Lewis | @gokellylewis GUEST: Aarti Awatharami |  @arti.health.coach For more inspiring stories of women around the globe, check out our book, Tell Her She Can’t.  <a href="https://tellhershecant.com/">https://tellhershecant.com/</a> Work with Aarti | https://www.intuitivelywell.com/ NOTES: (0:47) Meet Aarti Awatharami, intuitive health coach. Hear how she straddled two cultures at the same time in an attempt to reconcile who she knew herself to be with cultural expectations. (6:07) Through loving herself, Arthi was able to find authentic acceptance of self.  Arthi explains that when we let go of part of who you are to be loved, it is not acceptance, but manipulation. (7:41) Emotional wounds take root in our bodies. Chronic health issues for Aarti forced her to look at her deeper emotional wounds. (13:01) Aarthi explains how different emotional wounds can manifest in the physical body and how the body often holds the emotion until we are ready to look at the issue more closely. (13:58) Aarthi credits defiance, stubbornness, and connection to her inner voice as her main motivating factors.
