EP.13: Bella Collins – Eat, Sleep, Row, Repeat

Bella Collins is one part of the incredible Ocean Sheroes, an all-woman rowing crew who raced 2,400 hard nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean last year in world record attempt. Setting off from San Francisco and finishing at Hawaii’s Waikiki harbour as part of the gruelling, unsupported, BONKERS Great Pacific Race.  

Hailing from Essex way, Bella now calls Cornwall home working for the pioneering packaging experts, Flexi-Hex. As such, Bella joined us at the workshops a couple of weeks back to rally the Finisterre troops into action in way of January morale booster - applying the theory of strength, resilience, and teamwork of an ocean row, to business.

We speak on the mental fortitude required for such a race. Understanding and playing to the strengths and weaknesses of the team around you. Squeaky bum moments in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and the importance of remaining present in each moment of an experience like this.
