In this episode of The Joy of Being You, host Eva Nagy welcomes Gilda Montenegro-Fix, a Costa Rican woman, mother, and two-time Olympian, whose story serves as a testament to resilience, courage, and the power of following one's heart. Gilda reflects on overcoming profound challenges, including the loss of both parents by the age of 18, breaking cultural barriers as Costa Rica’s first female whitewater rafting guide, and competing internationally in rafting. Together, Gilda and Eva explore the importance of living in co-creation with the universe, simplifying life, and reclaiming peace and joy. Gilda reminds us that our worth is far greater than our achievements and that joy and wellbeing are our birthright.
