Episode 1: Monet Izabeth

In this episode of Extreme Origins, Kevin Bourque sits down with adventurer and filmmaker Monet Izabeth as she prepares for a solo expedition to the South Pole. Monet shares the unlikely beginning of her journey, a Facebook message about her great-uncle’s WWII plane crash in Kenya, and how that life-changing expedition sparked a passion for extreme challenges. From tire-pull training to crossing Greenland, she opens up about the physical and mental battles, the gear she depends on, and the awe that keeps her moving forward. Along the way, Monet reflects on solitude, resilience, alter egos, and why she’s willing to trade comfort for clarity in some of the harshest environments on Earth.
