EP 12: Unlearning by Bike (6,351 Miles Later) with Nicole Heker

On this episode, we learn about Nicole's epic, 507-day solo journey on two wheels from Thailand to Spain to raise money for Happy Kids Center, the organization she co-manages in Nepal. Before the trip, Nicole didn't own a bicycle, had never pitched her own tent or made a fire, and calls herself the "most unlikely adventurer." We explore what it took to cross Tajikistan just after four cyclists were killed by terrorists. Nicole shares what to expect when finding a Mongolian shaman in the woods and offers us an exciting glimpse into worlds untouched. Other topics include curiosity, reincarnation, reflective work, what it means to have authorship over your life, sharing your authentic voice, taking a leap of faith, and the challenges of managing a non-profit, a task she took on when she was just 23. This episode is perfect for anyone hoping to turn a dream -- big or small -- into reality.
