"Love, friendship, networking - these are all critical connections and the foundation of a healthy, happy life." - Whitney Wolfe Herd This episode is another solo round! If there is anyone you would like to hear on the podcast, please send an email to [email protected]. In this episode, I talk about the importance of building up your LIFE network and how to develop the lasting relationships that will bring you towards the most fulfilled life that you can have. You probably already have many beautiful relationships with those around you that you have worked on for a while. But are you limiting yourself and stunting the potential for opportunities to reach a higher level of being and fulfillment? I hope that this podcast episode allows you to think about the relationships that you currently have and if you are doing everything in your power to both grow them and to create new relationships that will expand your life's network. In this episode I talk about: The definition of a true, meaningful relationship with another person. The hub and spokes that make up my relationship wheel. The path to forming and growing meaningful relationships and expanding your life network. You will also hear me talk about an event that I am fund raising for called 29029 Everesting (https://29029everesting.com/). The event is a mountain endurance event that involves climbing vertically up a mountain as many times as it takes to match the elevation of Mount Everest. This means climbing up Mount Stratton in Vermont 17 times within 36 hours. Training and competing in this would be an endurance feat unlike anything I have done to date. There is just one thing. The event costs $4000 and I need your help to get there. Getting people aware of and exposed to the mental and physical benefits of the outdoors is something that I love. I get so pumped up about seeing people's reactions to views and experiences in the mountains! Eventually, I want to get To Summit Up to the point where I am guiding expeditions with it. For now, there are many organizations working to make mountains more accessible for those who don't have the easiest access. There is a charity that I am fond of called Big City Mountaineers. The organization is incredible and their mission aligns with that of To Summit Up. They work alongside the transformative powers of Mother Nature to leave a lasting impact on the lives of under-resourced youth. Their wilderness expeditions bring kids out of their comfort zones and into the wild, where they develop the confidence needed for more promising futures. My training, participation in, and any money raised beyond the $4k would go right to big city mountaineers. My awareness action plan will be to document my mental and physical journey through photos and videos. To donate, check out https://www.gofundme.com/manage/everesting-for-outdoor-awareness.
