Two sisters went swimming with manta rays in Hawaii. One quit competitive triathlon; the other redirected her career to hold local government accountable.
When Amy Spring and Heidi Maldonado joined a manta ray swim after Heidi's Ironman World Championship in 2023, they didn't expect that 90-minute experience to reshape their entire approach to living in alignment with their values. From career pivots to vegan living, this conversation explores how connecting with nature can lead to real, lasting change in how we show up in the world.
This episode covers the following topics:
🐋 Transformational experiences often wait on the other side of fear and discomfort
🐋 Everyone can contribute to the world we’re building. You don’t need a national platform to create change.
🐋 Start local, think long-term: getting involved in political and environmental causes within your own community
🐋 Finding balance: staying informed about global challenges, while focusing energy on what you can do right now, right here.
