A proposito di questo titolo
 Genny Brown is aiming to become the first Black woman in history to ski solo to the South Pole, raising awareness of Lyme Disease along the way. I've been following Genny's journey since 2021, and this is her third time joining me on the Tough Girl Podcast. We catch up on what's been happening over the past few years, including her 21-day solo expedition in Norway, her Greenland crossing and the lessons she's learned along the way. Genny shares the realities of preparing for a polar expedition, navigating life with Lyme Disease, understanding her neurodiversity, getting her nutrition right and learning to adapt when things don't go to plan. We also discuss the importance of patience, the difference between isolation and loneliness, embracing failure and staying committed to a goal that has taken almost a decade to reach. With Antarctica now firmly in her sights for November 2027, Genny reflects on the journey so far and what comes next. A brilliant conversation about resilience, self-belief and why it's never too late to start working towards a big adventure. *Please note: This episode contains one instance of strong language. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!
