Heather Bond is the author of a book called “Athena Rising,” a memoir about the extraordinary experiences she’s had in her life and how they ultimately led her on a path of self-discovery and transformation. She is also the founder of a group called Trekking Ambassadors , a team of international adventurers who provide solar lights and eyeglasses to remote villages with little or no electricity and a lack of essential supplies. In her earlier years, she was a forest-service firefighter, Los Angeles firefighter, and Hollywood stuntwoman, and she participated in numerous extreme endurance races. In our interview, Heather discusses her life and her conviction to live it to the fullest with no regrets.
