In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Jennie Milton (also known as “Adrenajen”) an Australian extreme sports athlete, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and a woman who has literally survived avalanches, polar bear encounters, and brain surgery.
Jennie’s story is equal parts unbelievable and deeply grounding. Together, we talk about what fear really is, how our bodies respond to it, and why understanding those responses is the doorway to deeper empathy and stronger leadership.
From childhood “scaredy cat” moments to skiing massive mountains in Alaska, Jennie shares how courage is not a personality trait. It’s a skill you build. She breaks down the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses in a way every leader needs to hear, and she explains how adrenaline (yes, the same adrenaline that shows up when you're terrified) can become your greatest advantage.
