Turning trauma into transformation, Ursula reveals how long-distance walking became a path to healing, resilience, and rediscovering herself after cancer. We explore the importance of flexibility, pacing, and embracing vulnerability during ultra-endurance challenges, as well as why walking, our most natural form of movement—can have such a profound impact on mental and emotional wellbeing. Ursula reflects on the spontaneous decisions that led her across the Danube, through Wales, Ukraine, and beyond, and how letting go of control opened the door to deeper self-discovery. The conversation also touches on navigating the isolation of COVID-19 lockdowns, learning to accept failure and imperfection, and the lessons that come from slowing down and allowing space for mistakes. Ursula shares insights into her upcoming projects and her ongoing search for connection, purpose, and a true sense of place. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t always about returning to who you were before—it can be about discovering someone entirely new along the way.
