In this episode of The Gutsy Podcast, LauraAura sits down with extreme sports athlete and mindset coach Jennie Milton—better known as AdrenaJen—to explore the power of expanding your comfort zone, developing tolerance for discomfort, and staying calm under pressure.
From heli-skiing in Alaska to navigating real-life challenges, Jennie shares her FEAR Formula for pushing past limits, how to rewire your mindset for adaptability, and why the most courageous people aren’t fearless—they just take action anyway.
