Episode 361 - Risa August - The Road Unpaved - Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike 

A Life Without Limits...

Following a life-altering diagnosis, I have made it my mission to draw attention to rare Pituitary diseases by sharing my own personal journey. Little did I know, this diagnosis would teach me to live. Along with my mission, I continue to explore ways of experiencing life more fully by challenging my limiting beliefs and refocusing my perspective. This has further led me to guide others through their own limiting beliefs and toward their biggest and best life. 

After a shocking diagnosis for a rare pituitary disease and with her eighteen-year marriage in shambles, Risa’s life has fallen far from picture-perfect. Recovering from brain surgery and desperate to get back to her former self, she signs up for the bike tour of a lifetime—six weeks from Canada to Mexico on the Pacific Coast Highway.

The old Risa could have done the ride in her sleep, but for the new Risa, trapped in a body that no longer feels like her own and stuck in the company of her brain tumor, Bubba, the ride becomes a challenge unlike anything she’s ever faced.

As Risa pedals through rain, pain, and the ghosts of her memories, she wonders if the woman she once was will ever return or whether the new woman rising up in her place might just be the person she was meant to be all along.

A remarkable story of transformation and resilience, The Road Unpaved speaks to shifting gears to navigate life’s roadblocks and live a life without limits—a life fully unleashed.
