About this episode

Taryn Smith shares insights on overcoming fear, the importance of mindset, and the post-achievement crash after significant wins.

You'd think fear is what stops you from doing hard things. At 25, with zero rowing experience, Taryn Smith crossed the Atlantic alone. 3,000 miles, 46 days, and I learned that the fear was never the obstacle. It was the signal she was finally in the right place. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Taryn Smith discuss: Why fear is a "metric of success," not a stop sign, and how to train yourself to move toward discomfort instead of away from it How food becomes visible performance fuel when you're the only engine, and how to preserve muscle on limited calories using protein and daily amino acids The "long-term optimist, short-term realist" mindset that carries you through a slog with no end in sight The post-achievement crash nobody warns you about, and why the low after a big win is predictable Whether or not you'll ever touch an oar, you'll walk away with a portable mental framework for facing anything you've been avoiding, and a clearer sense of who you are when no one's watching.
