Episode 109. What does it take to skateboard across an entire country, and become the first woman in history to do it? In this episode, I sit down with Brooke Johnson, the trailblazer who skated from coast to coast across America to raise awareness and funds for spinal cord injury research. Brooke opens up about the moments that tested her the most, from facing fear alone on open roads to overcoming mental barriers that nearly made her quit. We dive deep into the mindset it takes to keep going when no one’s watching, the importance of mental health, and how she learned to listen to her body through hormonal fluctuations, exhaustion, and self-doubt. She shares the why behind her journey, the story that inspired her to dedicate every mile to a cause bigger than herself, and what it felt like to finally cross the finish line after thousands of miles on her board. This episode is about courage, purpose, and what happens when you refuse to let fear make your decisions for you. Brooke’s story is proof that one woman’s determination can ripple across the world, one push at a time.
