Rochelle has been spending a lot of time in Leucadia lately. A Neptune local from back in the day she feels the vibe and likes to spend time here when she is in town. When she was here last I talked her into starting her own blog. MyTripOfPassion.blogspot.com She was new to the scene but has been really getting into it.
Now that she is off tour she is promoting her wellness passion project, Surf Into Yoga. Looking to share the gift of Yoga with other surfers as it has brought her a lot of well being and balance to her own life as a pro surfer. After seeing what it could do for her she felt she should share it with others.
It has been interesting to watch her go through this process of switching gears. Coming off a 17 year profession as a touring pro to now conceiving a plan to help others, producing the project, and starting a business from scratch in a whole new field.
I've been inspired by it all as she is now coming from the athlete side to the business side and committing to learn something new every day. It has been cool to watch her grow through all this, struggle and still stay focused on her goals.
All and all it will be fun to see how she does in her new life as a free surfer, yoga ambassador and business woman. It will also be fun to watch it unfold on her blog. If she takes on the challenges of her new life the same way she took on Teahupoo or Back Door she is going to do really well. We are rooting for Rochelle!
