DB 464: Sharks, Storms & Strength – Diana Nyad's Story: The Power of Not Giving Up7. Aug. 20256 Min.

What do you do when life says, "You can't"?

If you're Diana Nyad, you whisper back: "Not yet."

In this powerful episode of the Dream Big Podcast, 10-year-old host Sophia Karpman dives into the inspiring story of Diana Nyad — the woman who swam 110 miles from Cuba to Florida at age 64… through jellyfish stings, shark-infested waters, and wild storms. 🌊

Sophia explores:

✨ What makes someone try again (and again!) even after failing

✨ How strength isn't in muscles, but in the heart

✨ Why your age — or your past — doesn't define your dreams

Whether you've faced setbacks or feel like giving up, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to be the fastest, the strongest, or the youngest — you just have to keep swimming. 🏊‍♀️
