Episode 39 - Nepal 2022: Exploring mental toughness in the mountains

Everything we accomplish in life begins with saying “yes” and John’s trip to Nepal was no exception. Saying “yes” opened the doors to stretching boundaries, learning what’s possible, and turning off the noise in order to gain clarity.

In this episode, we explore John's backpacking trek in Nepal. As he reflects on his experience, we're talking about what he learned in the mountains…

• Getting out of your own head
• Exploring what you’re capable of
• Winning the mental war
• Journeying toward contentment
• Live your own life in person instead of watching others live their lives
• Resisting the urge to pack your fears and carry them around
• Getting quiet so you can hear yourself think
