Jessica Hepburn describes herself as 'an unlikely athlete' but, after a series of very hard life experiences including a very lengthy IVF journey that led only to miscarriages and ectopic pregnancy, she decided to heal her broken heart through physical exercise.
She is currently the first and only woman on the planet to have completed the 'Sea, Street, Summit Challenge' which means to swim the English Channel, run the London Marathon, and climb Mount Everest!
Something that makes her journey to accomplishing these massive goals even more unique and fun: while training for and then finally climbing the world's tallest mountain, Jessica also listened to over 3,000 episodes of her favorite radio program, Desert Island Discs, which has been a beloved classic in the UK and worldwide for over 80 years!
In today's interview, Jessica dives deep with Infinite Capacity Podcast host Andrea Morton... sharing intimate stories from her childhood & family, speaking candidly about IVF and the rift in her 16-year relationship, and answering many questions about what it was really like to summit 'Chomolungma,' the Tibetan Sherpa name for Mount Everest.
Jessica is such a warm and well-spoken human, you'll be laughing, crying, and cheering as you get to know her & listen to this amazing, inspiring real-life story - part of which is about to be made into a movie (or two)!
