Episode 62: Cycling, filmmaking and finding yourself with Laura Kirkpatrick
Next up in the Adventure series, Emma is joined by cycling adventurer, filmmaker and influencer Laura Kirkpatrick.
In this episode, Laura shares how cycling helped her build confidence, find creative freedom, and imagine a life beyond her corporate job.
Laura talks about how a cycle-to-work scheme sparked her journey, why one challenging 100K ride changed what she thought she could do, and how she turned her love of cycling and filmmaking into a creative career.
In this conversation, we explore:
How Laura went from management consulting to cycling filmmaker and content creator
What makes a bikepacking trip, and its story, compelling
How she chooses destinations and funds her adventures
When filming enhances an experience, and when it can get in the way
The realities and risks of solo female travel
Why Laura is learning to separate her identity from what she achieves
From taking on challenges to let go of an old routine to finding a more authentic creative path, Laura’s story is a reminder that one small change can open up a much bigger world.
