#6 – Overcoming fear with Lisa Blair, the first woman to sail solo around Antarctica

In this episode of the Get Superpowered podcast, we’re diving into a force that holds many of us back: FEAR. Whether it’s launching a business, speaking up, or stepping into the unknown — fear is often present.

But what if fear wasn’t something to avoid? What if it was a tool—an ally—that could fuel resilience and courage, and help us achieve unimaginable?

My guest, Lisa Blair, is an adventurer, world-record-breaking sailor, climate activist, and author whose superpower is overcoming fear in the most extreme environments on the planet. Lisa is the first woman to sail solo around Antarctica. She has set eight world records on her boat ‘Climate Action Now’, proving that fear doesn’t have to stop us — it can fuel us.

Lisa’s story isn’t just about epic survival at sea; it’sabout what we can all learn from her mindset, planning, preparation, and unwavering perseverance. In our conversation Lisa shares practical, actionable strategies and insights you can apply today to stop letting fear hold you back and start using it as a catalyst for growth and bold action.

Ready to face and conquer fear? Let’s dive in NOW!

Key Takeaways:

Nobody is going to show up for you the way you show up for yourself.
Fear is a tool, not the enemy. Learn to harness it for resilience, perseverance, and courage.
The hardest thing to do is overcoming the fearof potentially failing. But you only truly fail when you stop trying.
Your inner monologue shapes your reality. Changeself-talk from ‘I can't today’ to ‘I can one day’ and ask yourself what's the first step I could take?
Take action. Start with small, uncomfortableactions and build momentum, and borrow Lisa’s mantra ‘Just do—because the world is changed by doers’.
Preparation & planning are key to overcomingfear with confidence. Embrace scenario planning and be clear on real vs perceived risk.
