Who better to ask about fear and self-doubt than one of the best stuntwomen in the world, Ky Furneaux?
Ky was raised in a small country town in South Australia and has gone onto work on many big-budget Hollywood blockbusters and become one of the best stuntwomen in the world.
In this conversation, we discuss:
* her adventure-seeking ways as a child and the grandmother who inspired her love of travel,
* the car accident at 19 and the lessons she gained from that experience,
* how she found the confidence and courage to move to Canada to pursue her dream of becoming a stunt performer with no specific skills, training or even a plan,
* how to deal with the ‘no’s’ you receive when you’re chasing your goals and dreams,
* the strategies and process she uses to manage her fears (listen for the questions she asks herself when assessing her fear),
* breaking her shoulder in a stunt in Hong Kong and the pressure and expectation (both internal and cultural) not to disclose her injury, and
* why the outdoors are so empowering for women.
