51: We Can Do Hard Things - Juliane Koepcke's Story

This Feels Important

Tory and Kari bring back another round of miraculous stories! This is a life and death story set deep in the Amazon. It’s all about being a badass, remembering what your dad taught you, and channeling a bit of Dora the Explorer.

Tory shares the story of Juliane Koepcke and how she survived a plane crash deep in the Amazon rainforest. It involves scorching heat, ten days without food, and having to move around the jungle by tossing your shoe. But, this is a harrowing story of how she was the lone survivor in this plane crash - even though initially 14 others survived the crash.

It’s a story of being mistaken for a water goddess. The power of the middle seat. And how even at 17, women encapsulate badassery.

Tory and Kari also open the show with a time and space update. And Tory shares a funny story of a very bad gig during her time in New York City.

ABOUT THIS FEELS IMPORTANT

This Feels Important explores the hairy, scary, weird, and sometimes orgasmic journey of navigating our ever-evolving relationships with self, others, and the world around us.

Your hosts, Kari Keating and Tory Dube - along with a lineup of epic guests - open the floor for honest discussions about the taboo feels (sex! money!), the painful feels (miscarriages! divorce! grief!), and the fun feels (psychedelics! sex again!) that are inevitable, necessary and freaking important as we all navigate the highs, lows and in-betweens of the human experience.
