#29: Melba Seto The Practice of Showing Up

If you need motivation to get out of bed each day, and try cool shit, Melba Seto is your woman.

Melba is the owner of Calgary's famous adventure soap company, Bowness Soapworks, and an avid explorer of life. She shares perspective on the many, many, hours she has committed to learning new skills, and why sharing the journey is so important to her.

Being skilled, knowledgeable, and successful takes time. We discuss preconceived ideas of needing to be talented to be worthy of a pursuit, and the misconceptions that others have built their skills overnight.

We also discuss something very close to Melba's heart, mindfulness and the practices that teach focus, and calm, in stressful situations. Melba has used climbing, kayaking, and cold water immersion as tools to help manage her own past trauma, behaviour patterns and anxiety.
