We had the good fortune of connecting with Vesna Rysdale and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Vesna, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk to me is like an accelerator to your dreams. if your dreams aren’t risky, you’re not dreaming big enough. We need to take risks in order to let go of the old and become the new. When we take risky decisions, we’re saying that we’re ready for the new, the growth, the evolution and the creation. The role that taking risks has played in my career is that it has helped me gain the courage to step away from a 20 year corporate career, and pivot into full time health and nutrition coaching.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Since we live in beautiful San Diego, and surfing is a huge part of the culture here, I’d take a friend visiting town to try out surfing. I also love hiking and being outdoors, so I’d suggest that we do the Torey Pines hike.

We’d eat at home, something nourishing that I’ve made with produce from our local CSA (Be Wise Ranch) and whatever I’ve grown in our garden with lots of fresh herbs, spices, and flavors. We’d then hang out and chat, which is what I call soul food. Simple but very nourishing for the body, mind and soul.

This shoutout is to my husband, my kids, my parents and my brother and siter-in-law who’ve supported me through my life journey, all the ups and downs, knowns, and unknowns. They all know that I’m someone who takes big risks and dreams big, they’ve always encouraged me to keep going for which I’m eternally grateful to each of them in their own individual way.
