Tell Me More

In this episode, I chat with professional snowboarder Summer Fenton about her amazing journey from a young snowboarding fan to a skilled, world-traveling athlete. Summer talks about how growing up with strict parents, who made her balance school and snowboarding, built her dedication and toughness. While she started out focused on half-pipe competitions, encouragement from her boyfriend inspired her to try different styles, like street snowboarding, which reignited her love for the sport.

Summer also opens up about the mental-health struggles she faced, especially after missing the Olympic team, and highlights the importance of a strong support system. She shares her self-care practices, like keeping a gratitude journal and doing short morning yoga sessions. With real honesty, Summer talks about her travels, including a life-changing trip to Japan that gave her a new perspective and deepened her love for snowboarding.

Don’t miss this inspiring episode, where Summer reflects on her adventurous life and the important lessons she’s learned along the way.
