In this episode of The Spiritual Ninja Podcast, Jonathan Hewitt sits down with ocean rower and athlete Tia Patricios to explore how inner stillness becomes strength in action. Tia shares how her spiritual journey—shaped by meditation, breath, and martial arts—prepared her for one of the world’s most demanding physical challenges.

As part of a mixed-gender crew that set a world record and won their division of the World’s Toughest Row across the Pacific Ocean, Tia reflects on presence, resilience, and how the mind carries us through deep fatigue, fear, and uncertainty.

This conversation is for anyone who wants to understand meditation not just as practice, but as real-world endurance and courage.
