Facing the Water: Eldra Learns to Swim with Cori Myka - Episode 83
About this episode
Eldra Jackson III shares his journey of learning to swim and discusses the deeper lessons of overcoming fear with guest Cori Myka.
This month's Inside Circle Podcast takes a different turn. Host Eldra Jackson III shares a personal milestone: just last summer, he learned to swim for the first time—side by side with kids half a century younger. That experience sparked today's conversation with Cori Myka, founder of Calm Within Adult Swim, who specializes in helping adults face their fear of water. Together, Eldra and Cori explore how learning to swim is about more than strokes and breathing. It's about panic and calm, trust and mistrust, and the lifelong journey from fear to freedom. Tune in for a vulnerable and inspiring conversation that reminds us it's never too late to learn—whether in the pool, in life, or in love.
