Rising with the Tide: How Women Heal, Lead, and Transform Through Water

In this inspiring Women Investing In Women (WIIW) episode, co-hosts Dr. Kas and Robin welcome Krista, an elite swimmer whose life’s work bridges positive psychology, water-based therapy, and women’s wellbeing through surfing. Together, they explore how the principles of positive psychology can be translated into embodied, nature-immersed healing, especially for women navigating midlife transitions. Krista shares compelling insights from surf therapy research, revealing how water therapy programs foster emotional regulation, confidence, and resilience. The conversation centers on middle-aged women and the unique physical, emotional, and cultural challenges they face, from self-doubt to societal expectations and technology-related barriers. Surfing, as Krista explains, becomes a powerful equalizer inviting courage, presence, and wisdom while reconnecting women to their innate strength. The recurring theme is sisterhood and allyship. The episode highlights how women supporting women creates a safe, empowering culture where transformation is shared rather than solitary. Dr. Kas and Robin emphasize the circular healing loop: serving others not only heals participants but profoundly transforms the facilitators themselves. Witnessing other women succeed, fall, rise, and cheer each other on becomes medicine in itself. Rooted in nature, community, and purpose, this episode celebrates how water-based healing helps women reshape their narratives proving that when women claim their space in the waves, they also reclaim their power in life.
