Description
In this episode, Laurent records with Katie Hansen Lajeunesse who is a highly accomplished air sports athlete. She is a world record holder in free flying, a multiple world record holder in wingsuiting, and an BASE jumper and swooper. We touch on various aspects of these disciplines and the intricacies of navigating personal and professional boundaries in these extreme sports, Katie shares some memorable jump stories, including her process of recovering from a very close brush with death.
There are also elements where we critically address mentorship dynamics, particularly concerning women in the sport. We reflect on overcoming trauma, the importance of community support, and the balancing act between passion for the sport and personal well-being.
