From elite soccer fields to the snowy slopes of Japan and Canada, Demi Caldwell’s athletic journey is as diverse as it is impressive. After years of competitive soccer and back-to-back winters skiing around the globe, Demi found her stride in triathlon, quickly rising to win age-group titles and earning her professional card at Melbourne's Ironman 70.3. Yet, despite her triathlon success, Demi’s heart was quietly pulling her towards a simpler, more profound calling—the trails.
In today's episode, Demi shares her transformative journey from triathlon podiums to trail running passion. We explore the moment of clarity at Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko that solidified her decision to fully commit to trails, the mental shifts required to compete at an elite level, and how embracing simplicity has enriched her life both on and off the trails.
From securing podium finishes at iconic events like Buffalo Stampede and Ultra-Trail Australia, Demi’s rise in the trail running community is just beginning. With deep insights into training, mindset, and the courage needed to redefine personal success, this conversation will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the call to chase what truly sets their soul on fire.
Join us for a deep, reflective, and inspiring conversation with Demi Caldwell—proof that following your passion is always the best route to personal fulfilment.
