About this episode

🎙️ Courage Talks S13E1 - Young Achiever’s Special is NOW LIVE!

In this powerful opening episode of Season 13, I sat down with Renee Noronha, the 20-year-old endurance athlete who has become the Youngest Indian Female to qualify for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, and is on a mission to become the youngest woman in the world to finish an IRONMAN on all six continents.


From training 8 hours a day as an elite artistic gymnast to switching gears at 16 with zero swimming or cycling background… to crossing the finish line in New Zealand at just 18 and hearing “You are an Ironman”, Renee’s journey is pure courage in motion.


She’s also a student at IIT Madras (Data Science), a Boston-qualified marathoner, Hyrox winner, and someone who’s balancing insane training loads with academics while chasing massive dreams, including Kona and the Comrades Marathon.


This conversation is for every young girl (and woman) who’s been told her dreams are too big.


Renee’s message is clear:Don’t be afraid to dream boldly. You are far more capable than you think.If you want to feel inspired, motivated, and fired up to chase your own impossible goals, this episode is a must-listen.


Tag a young dreamer who needs to hear this!
