My World Race

By Heather Stichter

Hey friends! I'm SO excited about this podcast & I hope you are too! My vision behind this is to give you all another quick, easy, fun way to follow along with my World Race journey. These episodes are all going to be unedited, unscripted, and as is - which keeps it easy for me, and gives you a pretty real idea of what life is like behind the scenes on the World Race. Thanks for following along! If you want more information about my trip visit heatherstichter.theworldrace.org !!

Episode 13 // Post Race #1 with Paul Lanier

We’re homeeee!!! Something I thought would be fun is to record some episodes POST race because hindsight is always 20/20, ya know?! Haha. But really, Paul and I have talked about recording an episode for a while now & so although it didn’t happen until now, this was a super fun episode to record because of how we got to reflect together & talk about transitioning home. First half is us talking about re-entry to the States and second half is us reminiscing on just some fun memories of the year. I’m hoping to do some more of these episodes with different squad mates as well, so keep an eye out !!! But without further ado — here’s Post Race Part 1 with the one and only Paul Lanier.

BUT it's also super fun as my friend Kennedy and I talk about 10 different unexpected things that have 'saved' us so far. It's always the little things in life.. amiright? Enjoy!!
