Summary
So many of us deal with mental health issues but we can feel isolated in our struggle. It's hard to talk about. However, it's no secret that speaking to someone about it and getting outside can help tremendously. In this episode, Georgina Jackson opens up about her struggle with bipolar disorder and how climbing helps her figuratively and literally reach new heights. If mental health is something you may be struggling with, please seek help. There's no shame in that! MOST people will deal with it at some point in their lives.
I hope you enjoy this open and honest discussion and hope it inspires you to continue adventuring wherever you are.

| 0:00.0 | And having that point to fix on, it's almost like a rope I can pull on literally and figuratively, both in my mind and on the wall, to bring myself up out of that depression. |
| 0:18.8 | This is the Adventure Sports podcast, brought to you by 180 TAC. |
| 0:22.9 | Get out there and have some fun. |
| 0:31.2 | Hey, everybody, welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast. |
| 0:34.8 | We got a great episode for you today, but before we get started, I wanted to remind |
| 0:38.6 | you that if you'd like to become a patron of the show, you can go to patreon.com slash adventure |
| 0:44.5 | sports podcast. It's five bucks a month. It gets you access to a lot of extra content, and just think |
| 0:51.7 | of it as buying the show a couple coffees every month, a little way to give |
| 0:57.1 | back. |
| 0:58.0 | So we'd really appreciate it if you took that step. |
| 1:00.5 | If you're already a patron, thank you. |

| 1:08.8 | Thank you so much for listening to the Adventure Sports podcast today. |
| 1:11.9 | I have Georgina Jackson on the phone, and Georgina is in Darby, UK. She says north of Birmingham. |
| 1:20.5 | And today we're going to be talking about how she and her partner, Andy, have used Adventure as a way to combat bipolar disorder. And I think it's a |
| 1:32.2 | beautiful thing when people find a way to use the great outdoors and movement and adventure |
| 1:37.1 | to make life better, no matter their circumstance. But that's what today's show is going to be |
| 1:42.8 | about. And Georgina and Andy do a lot of |
| 1:46.5 | adventure. You can read about it on their blog. It is the number two, Travelers.com, and that is |
| 1:52.7 | spelled T-R-A-V-L-R-S. So the number two, T-R-A-V-L-R-S. So if you're not driving right now, you can go to that blog, see some pictures, and see what they've been up to while we visit here today. So, Georgina, welcome to the program. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Oh, you bet. So, Georgina, I don't know really where to start. Let's just start with where you are. Tell us about Darby. I don't know anything about Darby. I've never been there. |
