PODCAST

“Road to El Cruce” (season 6) feels like a warm and honest conversation. Jess Gumkowski speaks with such truth - no pretending, no hiding. She shares her journey in a way that is real and deep, and this makes me feel connected to her story. 


What I love most is how she shows the hard work behind her training and life. She does not just talk; she lives with attention and clear purpose. This inspires me in my own practice - not just in sports, but in how I want to move through life. Her words are like a door opening to mindfulness. 



This podcast is more than motivation - it is a friend reminding me to stay present to keep going, an to trust the path. Thank you, Jess for your courage and for sharing your heart so openly. 


A beautiful gift for anyone who listens. 🙏
