Summary

What do rock climbing, emotional growth, and seasonal change have in common?

Heather sits down with Morgan—coach, wilderness adventurer, and mentor inside of Heather's community—to unpack what it really means to face fear, trust your training, and move forward when everything inside you wants to shut down.

Listen in as Heather and Morgan discuss:

  • The difference between being stuck in fear vs. consciously choosing challenge
  • What nature and the seasons teach us about personal growth and emotional cycles
  • The power of self-talk, embodiment, and "trusting your training" when fear strikes
