In this solo episode, Anna shares one of the most powerful lessons from whitewater kayaking: lean into the rock. What does that mean? When things get hard—on the river or in life—our instinct is to pull away. But that resistance can make things worse. Anna breaks down how leaning into discomfort can actually help you move through it with more ease, grace, and strength.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
🪨 Why “leaning into the rock” helps you stay balanced in turbulent times

🌬️ Mindset tools to help you stay grounded when life gets rough:
Breathwork strategies (like box breathing)
Grounding techniques to bring you back to the present moment
