What if feeling out of your depth isn’t a sign to stop — but the very first step into something new?

In this episode of Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained, Caroline Bridge relives raw moments from Race Across the World — panic, setbacks, and unexpected breakthroughs — while Rebecca Rees reveals what the brain is really doing when we step into the unknown.

Rebecca also shares her own experience of being out of her depth: learning how to create and make a podcast for the very first time. From the nerves and false starts to slowly finding her rhythm, she shows that stepping into something unfamiliar can be daunting — but also exciting, messy, and deeply rewarding.

✨ What’s Next
Episodes 1–3 are about building the foundations — sharing our own stories, science, and experiences to set the scene. But it doesn’t stop here. From Episode 4 we’ll be joined by our first guest — and it couldn’t be more fitting. Caroline’s teammate from Race Across the World, her son Thomas Bridge, will join us to talk about venturing into the unknown side by side.

This is just the beginning — each week, more voices, more stories, and more discoveries.
