Summary

It’s easy to look at the barriers we face and think, “I can’t.” Leah Goldstein is here this week to show you, you can. Leah won the Race Across America (RAAM) outright last year at age 52, beating the next closest man by 17 hours. But that barely scratches the surface of her myriad accomplishments and the indomitable spirit that we dive into on the show this week.

Leah was the World Kickboxing Champion by age 17. Shortly thereafter, she enlisted in the Israeli Military and became one of the few female instructors of the elite Commando division, specializing in Krav Maga. She later transitioned into Special Forces where she helped combat terrorism and violent crime. At age 30, she became a professional cyclist, and a few years later came back from one of the most horrific crashes in pro cycling history. Her memoir is aptly titled No Limits.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers,
0:19.7	and other experts to help you feel and perform your best, no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:30.1	Hello, strong, feisty women.
0:33.1	First, I would like to take a second to thank Triathlet Magazine for naming me one of
0:38.7	2022's multi-sport movers and shakers.
0:42.6	That honor is based off of the conversations that we are starting and changing with this
0:47.6	podcast.
0:48.5	I'm super honored and incredibly grateful, especially for all of you for helping get this thing off the ground and to
0:56.4	keep it growing. Let's keep on kicking ass in 2022. Speaking of kicking ass and moving and shaking,
1:04.6	I have an ass kicking mover and shaker on the show this week, none other than Leah Goldstein, the ultra-cyclist who,
1:12.9	at the age of 52, outright won the race across America last year, beating the next closest man by
1:21.7	nearly 17 hours. This one is long, so I'm not going to talk much here. But suffice to say, Leia is a
1:29.9	force of nature. Her life could and should, and maybe will, be a movie. And it is a book,
1:37.6	no limits, which I highly recommend. Leia was a world kickboxing champion by age 17. She served in the elite commander
1:47.8	division and special forces of the Israeli military as a young woman. At age 30, she became a
1:54.1	professional cyclist. A few years later, she came back from one of the most horrific crashes
1:59.8	in pro cycling history, I could go on
2:02.6	and on. But I'll let her tell you all about it. You'll notice that there's less talk about
2:08.8	menopause per se in this one, and you'll see why when we get into it. But suffice to say that
2:14.6	her ability to overcome is plenty inspiring no matter what we're up against.
