Whether you’re navigating a career change, approaching retirement, adjusting to a new season of life, or feeling constrained by circumstances beyond your control, Kristine challenges you to question what you’ve accepted as inevitable. She shares how small, meaningful actions can strengthen your sense of agency, open doors to new opportunities, and move you toward a bigger, bolder, badassier life.

Because agency isn’t just about creating the life you want, it’s also about choosing how you show up, the impact you have on others, and the legacy you want to leave behind.

The Shift Beneath the Words:

• Agency is about recognizing your choices, not having unlimited control.
• Curiosity helps you uncover possibilities.
• Agency means choosing your next move.
• Small actions strengthen your sense of agency.
• Using your agency can create an impact beyond your own life.

As you make courageous choices and become a fuller expression of yourself, you can inspire others, contribute to the world around you, and begin building the legacy you want to leave.

About the Host:

Kristine Goad is endlessly curious about the moment when “I could never” becomes “What if I tried?” As the Surfing Your Edge Coach, her work centers on transforming our relationship with fear, trusting ourselves more deeply, and creating lives that feel bigger, bolder, and more fully our own. Her approach blends coaching, mental fitness, adventure, experimentation, and wonder—shaped by a life that has included bicycling across America, writing a memoir, building a business, and taking surf lessons to overcome her fear of open water in her late 40s. She is less interested in fearless living than in what becomes possible when we get curious about the things that scare us.

The Shift Beneath the Words:

• The Origins of Surfing Your Edge
• Becoming the Person Who Can Lead Your Vision
• Leading Through Vulnerability
• Fear doesn’t have to disappear before you move toward what matters

But this journey isn’t only about creating a more fulfilling life for ourselves. Kristine shares her vision for a community of movement makers—people willing to take meaningful action on the things they care about. You don’t have to solve the world’s biggest problems alone; you simply have to start where you are, use what you have, and take the next step toward something that matters.

The Shift Beneath the Words:

• Fear Is a Guide, Not a Stop Sign
• Stop “Reality-Sizing” Your Dreams
• Your Vision of the Future Shapes Your Choices Today
• Personal Growth Can Create Wider Change
• Start Where You Are and Become a Movement Maker

You don’t need to solve every problem or have everything figured out. Choose something you genuinely care about and take a few meaningful steps toward it. When many people do what they can, with what they have, those individual actions can collectively create significant change.

In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine explores the external pressures that can keep us stuck in the shallows—from “reality-sizing” our dreams and following society’s expectations to navigating the well-meaning fears of the people who love us most.

You’ll discover why growth can feel uncomfortable, how to recognize the voices encouraging you to stay safe, and why it matters to question the rules and assumptions shaping your choices. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you’ve always been and who you’re becoming, this episode will encourage you to keep surfing your edge, navigate uncertainty, and seek out people who believe in what is possible for you.

The Shift Beneath the Words:

• Life and society encourage us to "play it safe."
• Growth often happens at the edge of your comfort zone.
• Other people can unintentionally limit what feels possible.
• Question the rules and expectations around you.
• Find people who support your growth.

Moving through life’s obstacles isn’t about avoiding discomfort. It’s about learning which voices and expectations deserve your attention—and continuing to choose growth even when the people and world around you don’t fully understand where you’re going.

The Shift Beneath the Words:

In this episode of Surfing Your Edge, Kristine introduces the Bigger, Bolder, Badass framework—the coaching model she created to help people imagine more for their lives, navigate the inner voices that try to keep them safe, and take meaningful action without waiting for fear to disappear.

You’ll explore what it means to dream bigger than you have previously allowed yourself to dream, transform your relationship with your inner critic, and redefine what it means to be a badass: becoming the fullest expression of who you are without apologizing for it.

Kristine also shares why fear does not always mean you should stop, how small life experiments can expand your comfort zone, and why failure can be useful information rather than proof that you should give up.

This episode is for anyone ready to approach growth with more courage, curiosity, authenticity, joy, and possibility.
