If You've Ever Struggled with Self-Belief

EPISODE 163- Chloë McCardel - Queen of The English Channel

Chloë McCardel has successfully crossed the English Channel 44 times. Forty-four crossings, which is more than any other human! She is one of five people to actually complete a triple crossing as well. The conditions of the English Channel are constantly changing which is why it’s so difficult to swim the 21 nautical miles…And she swam it three consecutive times.

Her insight and explanation about self-belief and mental toughness is epic. She breaks down her exact process into visualization and the power of becoming your future self!
