Alix Randall moved to Sandpoint without a job, without a place to live, and without a plan. She just knew the life she had built in Western Washington had started to feel wrong.
That was a few years ago. Since then she’s built a jewelry studio where couples make their own wedding bands, launched a new online brand called Golden North Co., coached at SSC, and logged close to 100 days on the mountain in her first real snowboard season — most of them full days, many of them alone, all of them proof that the same thing she learned in CrossFit applies everywhere: be willing to look like an idiot until you’re not.
This conversation is about what it actually takes to start over, why asking for help isn’t weakness, and why the things worth doing always feel impossible right before they don’t.
