Sarah Williams started her career in banking, but in 2013 after 8 years of office work, she packed her bags and started traveling around the world. It was whilst she was travelling and questioning her next step that she realised her love of three things; challenges, travel, and adventure. And so she took these passions and used them to found Tough Girl Challenges in 2014. Her aim? To motivate and inspire women and girls to get fit and active, to travel and explore, and to have big dreams and to step outside their comfort zone.
Along the way, Sarah herself has lived up to the project's vision, having run the Marathon des Sables, which is 6 marathons in 6 days across the Sahara Desert, thru hiked the entire Appalachian Trail of 2,190 miles, cycled the 4000km Pacific Coast Highway, run the London Marathon 5 times, climbed Kilimanjaro, the highest freestanding mountain in the world, and so much more.
Sarah is the author of 5 books, and the host of the 2x award-winning Tough Girl Podcast, which is listened to in over 174 countries and had over 1 million downloads.
In this episode we dive into all of this and more, exploring what goes on behind the scenes of Tough Girl, and how Sarah manages it all!
