And why does this question somehow feel more stressful than picking a health insurance plan? (Which, admittedly, is a very low bar.)

In this episode, I'm answering some of the most common questions I hear about coaching and therapy. We talk about whether a degree automatically makes someone better at helping people, why insurance-covered therapy isn't always the bargain it seems, how to choose the right person to support your growth, and why fit matters more than most people realize. Along the way, I share a few stories from my own experiences, including a truly unforgettable 15-minute mental health appointment that left me wondering if I needed therapy for the therapy.

Most importantly, we're talking about the return on investment of working on yourself. Because while a bigger house, a fancy car, or a dream vacation can be lovely, you're still bringing the same brain along for the ride. The skills that help you process emotions, set boundaries, challenge old beliefs, and stay calm when life gets messy? Those are gifts you get to keep forever. If you've been wondering whether investing in your emotional well-being is worth it, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we're talking about one of the most overlooked factors in personal growth: the relationship between you and your helper. Yes, training, credentials, and methods matter. But whether you're looking for a therapist, coach, or some other kind of support, research consistently shows that the connection itself is often what creates the biggest shifts. I'll share what I've learned from working with a lot of coaches, seeing several therapists, and investing many thousands of dollars in my own growth. We'll talk about why the most qualified person on paper isn't always the best fit, how to tell if someone's style works for you, and what to look for before investing.

We'll also cover how to do your homework when coaching is largely unregulated, why consuming someone's free content can tell you more than a page full of testimonials, and the questions you should ask before signing a contract. 

If you're wondering whether coaching, therapy, or a particular practitioner is right for you, this episode will help you make a more informed decision, and hopefully save you some time, money, and awkward Zoom calls.

Where to Invest for the Best ROI. If you’re struggling with your mental health, feeling stuck in life, or wondering whether life coaching or therapy is the better investment, this episode is for you. As someone who has worked as both a therapist and a coach, I’m breaking down the real differences between the two — without the black-and-white internet hot takes. We’ll talk about when therapy is the smartest place to start, when coaching can help you grow faster, and why some people benefit from both. 

We’re diving into everything from anxiety, trauma, and depression to stress, burnout, boundaries, habits, career transitions, and personal development. Plus, I’ll share some surprising exceptions to the “rules,” including why some coaches can be incredibly effective for deeper emotional work — and why finding the right practitioner matters more than the title on their website. If you’ve ever wondered where to invest your time, energy, and money to actually feel better and move forward, this conversation will help you make a more informed decision.

In this episode of the Climb Your Mountain Podcast, life coach Sarah Maurer dives into what to do when you’re feeling judged. Maybe you missed a meeting at work. Yelled at your kid in Target. Snapped at your aging parent. Got dumped and now dread showing up solo to your cousin’s wedding. 

Sometimes people really are judging. But here’s the deeper truth: it only burns when you’re judging yourself too.

We explore why shame hits hardest when you secretly believe you should be better, more perfect, more put-together. Often that harsh inner voice isn’t even yours — it’s an old parent, teacher, coach, or middle school bully living rent-free in your head.

This episode covers:

  • Why imagined judgment feels so real
  • The two common protection patterns: ruthless perfectionism or freezing and playing small
  • Tall poppy syndrome and the fear of visibility
  • Why failure is proof you’re in the arena

Inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” quote, this conversation is about choosing courage over criticism.

You’ll learn practical life coaching tools to build real self love and self compassion:

  • How to talk to yourself like a supportive coach (not a drill sergeant)
  • Making mistakes an exception, not your identity
  • Normalizing failure as part of growth
  • Building emotional strength to handle shame, disappointment, and embarrassment without numbing out

When you stop joining in on your own judgment, everything changes. You can make mistakes at work and still believe in your value. Parent imperfectly and still see yourself as a great mom. Ask for what you want in dating. Take the big swing.

Everything you desire lives on the other side of fear and failure.

Enjoy ❤️

In this episode of the Climb Your Mountain Podcast, life coach Sarah Maurer explores a belief many of us carry: that love comes from other people. If you’re single and worried you’re missing out… if you’re in a relationship but don’t feel fully loved… or if you secretly believe you’re just “not lovable enough,” this conversation is for you.

We unpack the hidden “love manuals” we create — the unspoken rules about how someone must behave for us to feel loved (they must say “I love you,” remember birthdays, help around the house, respond sexually, get us completely). When those rules aren’t followed, we feel rejected, unseen, or alone.

But here’s the shift: other people don’t create your feelings. They don’t beam love into you. The emotion of love is created by your thoughts, your beliefs, and the stories you tell yourself.

This episode dives into:

  • Why trying to control others to feel loved never works
  • How people-pleasing and relationship anxiety are rooted in fear of being unloved
  • Why “they hurt my feelings” misses the deeper truth
  • The powerful reframe: all love is self love

Sarah shares practical life coaching tools to help you build real self love and self compassion, including:

  • Noticing harsh self-talk
  • Challenging the story that you’re “lazy,” “too much,” or “not enough”
  • Learning to validate yourself
  • Celebrating small wins and personal growth

When you become your own source of love, everything changes. You can enjoy being single. You can speak honestly in relationships. You can stop trying to control your partner’s behavior. You can feel steady and connected — even in lonely seasons.

If you’re ready to feel more loving, lovable, and secure from the inside out, this episode is your starting point.

Enjoy ❤️

In this episode of the Climb Your Mountain Podcast, Sarah Maurer explores radical self acceptance and why beating yourself up for “falling short” actually blocks the results you want. If you struggle with shame, harsh self-talk, or the belief that you need to fix yourself to be worthy, this conversation is for you.

We dig into the familiar “greatest hits” many high-achievers carry—you’re lazy, you’re too much, you’re not capable, you’re not lovable—and how these thoughts show up in real life: yelling at your kids after a long day, forcing yourself into tight jeans, skipping the gym, overspending, or trying to be smaller and more pleasing than you really are.

Sarah breaks down why self-criticism is actually a form of self-protection, why it doesn’t work long-term, and how operating from shame fuels emotional overwhelm, burnout, and inconsistency. Then she offers a powerful alternative: choosing self compassion and believing you are fundamentally good, worthy, and capable exactly as you are.

The sooner you practice radical self acceptance, the sooner you create more of what you want—connection, confidence, consistency, and peace.

Wella Jay) Hypnocoaching for Emotional Regulation and Effortless Change (feat. Wella Jay) For the first 48 years of my life, my only experience with hypnosis was a stage show at college.

The hypnotist told the participants they were in class. They sat looking straight ahead like they were listening to the professor. 

Suddenly the hypnotist yelled BADGER! and pointed at the ground. And all the participants freaked out and jumped up on their chairs.

It was hilarious. But I didn’t exactly associate it with healing and empowerment.

It felt kind of coercive, to be honest.

When you think about hypnosis, what comes to mind? A bearded guy swinging a gold watch? A cult leader? 😵‍💫

If so, you’re not alone.

There are so many misconceptions out there.

Which is really a shame, because science suggests hypnosis is a fast and effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. It’s also great for pain management and behavior change.

I’ve personally undergone hypnosis to help with guilt, social anxiety, and a driving phobia. And the results feel like a miracle.

And as a life coach certified in hypnosis, I’ve seen this modality help clients change faster and with less struggle.

But don’t just take it from me!

On this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I’m joined by the amazing Wella Jay. She’s a past client who came to me specifically for hypnosis.

In our conversation she opens up about her experiences with hypnocoaching. We dive into:

❇️ How clinical hypnosis (the one we do in coaching) actually empowers you to take control of your own healing

❇️ What to expect in a typical hypnosis session

❇️ Why hypnosis might work better for some people than traditional “talking” methods of coaching

❇️ Debunking common myths, e.g. that it’s a form of mind control or manipulation

❇️ How hypnosis changed how we see life and ourselves (there’s definitely a spiritual benefit)

❇️ Our own experiences and results in hypnotherapy — and how it sometimes surprised us with “bonus” healing we weren’t even looking for

If you’re curious about hypnosis …

If you’ve thought about coaching, but dislike the idea of talking about yourself or answering lots of questions …

This one is definitely for you!

Enjoy! ❤️

So many of us have PTSD around goals.

We feel shame about all the times we’ve gone for something in the past … only to fall on our faces.

Every time we see a successful person, we assume they did it “right.” (Set goal. Followed up with disciplined action. Got result.)

But what if the opposite was actually true?

What if creating your dreams is always supposed to look and feel like a shit show?

It’s like this drawing. No one escapes the scribble!

(Including all those successful people who make it look so easy. Remember, you’re only seeing their after.)

The only reason goal-setting hurts is that we massively underestimate the time and energy it will take to create our results.

And on this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I’m going to walk you through:

]]> If you’d rather eat broken glass than set new year’s goals, I’ve got a podcast episode for you!

So many of us have PTSD around goals.

We feel shame about all the times we’ve gone for something in the past … only to fall on our faces.

Every time we see a successful person, we assume they did it “right.” (Set goal. Followed up with disciplined action. Got result.)

But what if the opposite was actually true?

What if creating your dreams is always supposed to look and feel like a shit show?

It’s like this drawing. No one escapes the scribble!

(Including all those successful people who make it look so easy. Remember, you’re only seeing their after.)

The only reason goal-setting hurts is that we massively underestimate the time and energy it will take to create our results.

And on this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I’m going to walk you through:

🌺 Why so many people quit on their goals when they’re on the verge of success (and how to avoid it)

🌺 Why goals are still worth it (even when they’re hard)

🌺 Why it doesn’t matter how much you’ve failed in the past.

🌺 Some new ways to look at goals (beyond do-or-die measures of your self-worth)

Enjoy! ♥️

I was SURE it would take just 15 minutes to jump on the colectivo (mini-bus).

90 minutes later …

😭 I’d just walked all over Tulum in the blazing sun trying to get cash for the bus fare …

😭 And then walked another 30 minutes looking for the right bus stop

😭 I was sweating, dehydrated, frustrated and PISSED because I wanted to get to the cenote early before the crowds

😭 I finally caught the damn bus

What went wrong here?

Absolutely nothing. 

This is the way it’s supposed to work. 

Our brains tell us we can do it faster.

But our brains are wrong.

By planning only for the best-case scenario, we create a lot of frustration for ourselves.

We end up feeling stressed, behind, incapable, and overwhelmed.

Life feels chaotic.

We’re late for everything.

And we quit on our dreams because we think they’re taking too long. (When really we just underestimated the time and effort required.)

So this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, let’s talk about a new way to plan.

One that factors in delays, missteps, friction, and obstacles.

It’s incredibly simple.

And if you’re setting 2026 intentions, it will save you so much heartache!

Enjoy. ❤️

If there were goals you didn’t reach …

If you feel more stuck than ever …

Then you’re probably beating yourself up for wasting time.

You might be buying into the punishing idea that it’s actually possible to MAXIMIZE your time. 

By doing everything right.

By never failing or getting distracted.

And by always finishing what you start.

If so, here’s what I want to offer you.

(This always blows my clients’ minds.)

Friend, there is no such thing as wasting time.

The word “wasting” implies that you have perfect control. 

You don’t.

And in fact, trying to be perfect can actually make your time management WORSE.

On this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, we’ll talk about how to break free from this toxic belief.

How to find sufficiency with exactly where you’re at.

And why it’s still totally possible for you to succeed — even if it didn’t happen this year. (Or for the past ten years.)

Change is always possible.

All it takes is once.

Here’s how you know that’s true.

Enjoy, and happy New Year. ❤️

You’re SO not alone.

(Even if it seems like everyone else on earth is merry and bright.)

I fell into this trap.

On Christmas Eve, I sent out an email speaking to everyone who is struggling during the holidays.

I felt kind of silly doing it.

My brain told me …

🧠 Everyone else is really HAPPY! You’re the only weirdo who’s not overjoyed by the season.

🧠 Now you look like a loser.

🧠 Also, if Debbie Downer and Scrooge McDuck had a baby, it would be you.

Well. It turns out my brain was wrong.

That email got more responses than anything I’ve sent out this year.

It turns out plenty of you are feeling sad around the holidays.

For all kinds of reasons.

Tragic losses. Relationship breakups. Money pressure. Overwhelm. Past holiday trauma.

You would never guess from social media.

But it’s true.

So I’m glad that not only did I send an email …

I also made a podcast about this.

On this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I share some of my own sad Christmas experiences.

And I’ll also offer you some survival tips. 

Really practical things you can do to make micro moments of joy in a difficult season.

Two hours a day to charge your phone, use your Wi-Fi, run your heating/air conditioning, watch TV, refrigerate your food.

Maybe you were already hungry and working hard to survive.

And suddenly, the lights went out, and life got that much harder.

That's what happened this year in Cuba. (As I learned on my recent trip.)

In this week's episode of Climb Your Mountain, you'll hear about some of the struggles Cuba is going through.

But you'll hear even more about the resilience of the human spirit.

People in Cuba are proud of having nothing — and yet having everything.

We can all practice this.

Even in times of darkness and deprivation, it's possible to create great spiritual, emotional, cultural, and social wealth. 

And in fact, sometimes its in those dark times that our light shines brightest.

If you're going through a metaphorical dark period, don't miss this one.

You're going to get practical tools to help you honor your struggles, find micro moments of joy, deepen your relationships, and find freedom when your choices are limited.

The late 40s have been TOUGH.

And that's true for most people.

Statistically, 47 is the most unhappy age. (Yes, actual scientists have studied this.)

It's the collision of parenting, elder care, and peak work responsibilities.

Your time has never been more constrained.

You feel urgency to trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp while you're still healthy — but you're working 60 hours a week and supporting multiple family members. 

You worry that your happiest years are past — and it just gets worse from here.

Because it is going to give you HOPE.

It's going to reassure you that greater happiness is coming.

You don't have to work for it.

It's going to happen naturally.

And.

You can also move toward happiness NOW.

Not by quitting your job and walking across Mongolia with twenty dollars in your pocket. (Although that would be a totally iconic midlife crisis thing to do.)

You get to start reclaiming happiness right here, one small step at a time.

Here's how.

It's a question that can come up at midlife, at the end of an era — or anytime in our disconnected, technology-numbed-out world.

🤔 A lot of people try to get life "right" by doing the socially approved things — prestigious job, 2.5 kids, house in the burbs.

🤔 Some look to social media likes and follows to know if they're on the right path.

🤔 Others find a high-control religion or guru to tell them their purpose.

None of these options is necessarily "wrong."

But too often, we take these actions from fear. Our unconscious fear of being cast out of our community because we're not relevant or important enough.

And none of these touches the core question: Who are we really? What do we have to give that no one else can see?

So if you're ready to finally meet your purpose, this episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast is for you.

This week, I'm going to walk you through my two-part framework for a purposeful life.

This will be like nothing you've ever heard before.

No aptitude tests. No interest inventories. No empty platitudes about the meaning of it all.

Just an invitation to get super intimate with yourself.

And let that knowledge light a fire that changes you — and the world — forever.

So if you've ever tried this — or use it daily — you're far from alone.

You may also have heard negative news coverage around using AI for mental health support. (For example, many states and professional organizations are calling for greater regulations and passing restrictions into law.)

Naturally, you might wonder: Is it safe to talk to AI about my problems? Could it be doing me more harm than good?

I think it's time to have a nuanced conversation about this.

In today's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'll share some of my own experiences asking the AI for coaching.

Spoiler alert: I actually think it does some things really well.

And I'll also share some of the limitations I've noticed.

These aren't necessarily reasons NOT to use it, but they ARE helpful to be aware of.

With any kind of coaching (human or AI), you want to be a savvy consumer.

And this podcast will help you think critically about the coaching you receive.

It will help you decide whether your particular problem/question is a good case for AI coaching — or something better addressed by a human coach.

When you know the difference, you'll always be able to connect to the right kind of help.

And you'll change faster and feel better sooner.

In today's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'll share some of my own experiences asking the AI for coaching.

Spoiler alert: I actually think it does some things really well.

And I'll also share some of the limitations I've noticed.

These aren't necessarily reasons NOT to use it, but they ARE helpful to be aware of.

With any kind of coaching (human or AI), you want to be a savvy consumer.

And this podcast will help you think critically about the coaching you receive.

It will help you decide whether your particular problem/question is a good case for AI coaching — or something better addressed by a human coach.

When you know the difference, you'll always be able to connect to the right kind of help.

And you'll change faster and feel better sooner.

Enjoy!

Last month, I shared a series called Do Your Epic Shit. And some common feedback was:

"This is amazing. AND. 

I don't feel like this is my starting point. 

I'm just overwhelmed, dysregulated, confused, and not able to take even small steps.

First I'd love to learn the basics. The foundational skills that will allow me to play hard and tolerate the discomfort of doing bigger things."

Friends, that makes SO much sense. 

It's actually where I start with most of my 1:1 clients.

So this month on the podcast, we're laying the foundation with a new weekly series on Pre Epic Skills!

THIS WEEK

If you're a big strategy person, you may sometimes find yourself bewildered when your best laid plans don't produce the results you want.

You may spend time creating the most amazing, most scientifically based, most foolproof action plan.

And then you go out strong.

But two weeks later ... you crash and burn 🔥.

Maybe you've been doing this boom and bust cycle all your life.

You might be convinced that you're doom to fail.

Friend, if this is you, I want you to know there's hope.

You're not doomed.

You are 100% capable. 

Here's what's been missing.

It's not the actions you take that determine your results. 

It's the thoughts and emotions driving those actions.

If you're actioning from a place of shame, urgency, pressure, and dread, taking action is going to feel AWFUL.

You might be able to grind it out for a little while.

But eventually, it will become too painful to sustain.

That's the part where you quit — and then tell yourself that you're lazy, not good enough, always fail, etc., etc.

And here's the amazing part.

What if all you need to do to keep going is to tell yourself a new story that feels better?

That's exactly what you're going to learn in this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast.

You can believe anything you want.

So let's get you believing the opposite of what hurts.

Enjoy!

THIS WEEK

In this episode of Climb Your Mountain, we address the most common issue in all of coaching: 

What to do with negative emotions.

If you're like most people, no one ever taught you what to do with anger, frustration, disappointment, or grief. 

As a result, you might resist feeling them, shove them down, or bulldoze over them.

But those suppressed emotions don't go away. They just build up inside, creating all kinds of chaos.

Well enough of that!

In this episode I'm going to walk you through the skills you need to start processing your emotions in a healthy way.

When you're able to feel your emotions all the way through, they actually finish. They move up and out of you. This gives you back so much energy. And you feel so much better.

Enjoy!

THIS WEEK

In the latest episode of Climb Your Mountain, we're going to answer an important question: how can you feel safe and secure in a world where so many bad things happen?

Safety is one of our deepest needs. 

If you're a parent, you know that toddlers need a secure base to explore from. 

They need to feel that if they run off, get into things, and fall on their butts, a loving parent will always be there to scoop them up and cuddle them. 

And adults are the same!

Without a sense of security, you feel paralyzed. You play it safe and do what you've always done. You worry that if you step out of your comfort zone, you'll never get back in.

But you can't rely on anyone else to provide safety. 

It's something you have to create for yourself with your thoughts.

And on today's episode, I'll show you how.

Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in for my "Do Your Epic Shit Series" last month and offered their feedback.

One thing I'm hearing loud and clear from many of you: This all sounds great ... one day. But I honestly don't feel ready to even start doing hard things!

Friend, that makes so much sense. 

When I think about my clients, very few of them came into coaching ready to immediately storm the gates of their dreams!

Most of them started by learning foundation skills: things like regulating their emotions, finding sufficiency and safety, and managing their thoughts on purpose.

So this October on the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'm going to walk you through the top foundational skills you need to master before you really go for it!

This is the stuff that makes "the going for it" easier, faster, and more fun. 

Ready? Let's do this!

THIS EPISODE

In Week One of the Pre-Epic Series, we're going to dive into a big question: What the hell should I be doing with my life, anyway?

This is a completely normal question anytime, but it's especially common after a big life transition (graduation, breakup, last kid leaving home, etc.).

A career counselor might invite you to take an aptitude test, go job shadowing, and dive right into applying for jobs.

I approach this question differently.

I encourage you to start showing up to your current circumstances as your highest self. As a person who is fulfilled, grateful, enough, and driven to contribute.

Most of us don't feel fulfilled and purposeful right now because we're sleepwalking through life.

It's engaging with your current circumstances — no matter how crappy — that shows you who you really are and where you want to go. 

When you're living fully in the moment, your future path will reveal itself so easily. 

And you'll also be able to see and seize on opportunities that will move you into even greater fulfillment.

Tune it to learn more!

This might lead you to rush.

You might set unrealistic timelines.

Try to do all the things at once.

And try to make it happen from a place of urgency.

But the truth is: trying to rush actually slows you down.

You feel more resistance.

More confusion.

There's more internal pressure to do it perfect the first time.

Which makes it hard to keep moving forward.

So what can you do instead?

On this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'm going to teach you the concept of "small steps fast."

It's all about breaking big tasks down into small ones.

And then quickly taking action, evaluating, and acting again.

It sounds like slowing down.

But you're about to learn why it's always the fastest way to get there.

And also how it sets you up for the big quantum leaps where you collapse time in ways that feel magical.

Enjoy!

Then ask yourself this question: Where am I NOT taking responsibility for my results?

The answer might not be obvious. 

Your brain loves to protect you from failure, judgment, and negative emotion by giving away your power in sneaky ways.

🧠 Making your kids the reason you don't leave that relationship.

🧠 Making your partner the reason you don't spend money

🧠 Making your busy work schedule the reason you don't travel. 

Giving away responsibility might earn you approval points in the short-term.

But the long-term result is a "default" life. One that feels like it's been chosen for you against your will.

Friend, that is not the existance you deserve.

And that's why on today's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'm going to show you how to recognize where you're delegating important decisions ...

💪 and how to take back your power, even when it feels wicked uncomfortable.

When you start showing up as the leader of your own life, you might disappoint others.

But you will never disappoint YOU.

Let's do this!

You always create exactly what you DON'T want?

If you try to shame and berate yourself into losing ten pounds, you lose two.

And then suddenly something snaps inside you. Now you're eating out of control. And you gain those two pounds back ... and then gain two more!

You might repeat this cycle over and over. 

Each time, you feel more despair and hopelessness. 

Eventually, you decide that you're just doomed to failure, that you lost the genetic lottery, that something is broken in your willpower, and that weight loss is impossible for you.

Bestie, no!

I don't want you to fall into this trap.

So on today's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'm gonna show you how shaming and scaring yourself into losing weight (or saving money or finding love or ANYTHING you wanna do) is the surest form of self-sabotage.

And how you can end this cycle of failure once and for all ... by simply changing your emotions.

When you feel good, you do good. And most of the time, you actually get there faster!

Tune in and let me show you how.

But you don't trust your own brain one bit!

Cause your brain is a spaz. 🤪 

Anytime you get a grumpy email from your boss, it tells you you're getting fired.

Anytime your partner seems distant, it tells you they don't love you anymore.

Anytime you get an unexpected bill, it tells you that you can't afford it ... and now you're going to end up homeless and living in a box.

So how the hell can you trust that deep pull you feel to start a business, go back to school, or take your relationship to the next step?

Here's good news.

Intuition is real.

It's powerful.

It's TOTALLY different from your thoughts (which tend to be loud and anxious).

And you can learn to tap into it to get guidance from the best source on earth: yourself.

In today's episode of Climb Your Mountain, I'm going to show you exactly how to do that.

So you can stop being kicked around by your anxiety and social programming — and get busy doing your epic shit in this lifetime!

Enjoy ❤️

"It'll be easier to get my masters ... once my littles are in school."

"I'm going to bike across the wine region of Italy ... just as soon as I retire!"

Have you ever put off a dream because you're waiting for a better time?

You're not alone.

So many of my clients are waiting for "the right time" to start creating their FY life.

But what if "the right time" never comes?

What if "normal life" isn't some magic calm period that always comes back around if we hang on long enough?

What if "normal life" is actually your car breaking down, a surprise work trip, your dog needing surgery, your small volunteer commitment morphing into a full-time job, and your landlord doubling the rent ... possibly all at once?

When we let go of the fantasy that life will calm down, it's easier to jump NOW. (Which let's be honest, is almost always the best time.)

And in this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I show you exactly why moving faster is usually better — and what you can do to take that scary first step.

Enjoy!

Every morning, I'd make my to-do list. And by the end of the day, it would be LONGER, not shorter.

All day long, I raced from task to task — and then from my home office to my mom's assisted living to the run club happy hour.

If — heaven forbid — I was bored for a minute, I took it as an invitation to dive into my Trello project backlog. (Which was extensive.)

I was constantly in motion. But never quite getting anywhere. Stuck at the same weight, run splits, drinks per week, business earnings, etc.

And honestly, starting to look like a shipwrecked castaway because I couldn't even find the time to get a haircut 🏴‍☠️ 😂 

Then one principle turned it all around: Essentialism.

It's the concept of doing less better.

You see, I'd bought into the dangerous myth that I could have it all.

No one can.

When you make the hard but clear-eyed decision to focus on what's most important RIGHT NOW, your life will change.

So much space will open up in your life.

And you won't be afraid of it, because you'll also realize that doing big things requires time and space to think.

Yes, it turns out being a little bored is actually good for you!

Ready to embrace essentialism? You're in luck!

In this podcast, I'll share the top mindsets that helped me

  • Edit my schedule mercilessly
  • Simplify my (very complicated) life
  • Say no to good invitations and opportunities to make room for what's great
  • Deal with the resulting FOMO

Enjoy!

We call it the DIC, because it really is kind of a D!

It loves to tell you that you’re:

  • Not good enough
  • Not capable
  • Not smart enough
  • A failure
  • Too much
  • Lazy
  • Not lovable
  • Not seen
  • Not heard
  • Etc.

You dream of having some kind of magic wand you can wave to shut that DIC up.

You wonder if cult-style brainwashing might actually be the answer.

You’ve also realized that the personal development industry doesn’t have a good cure for the DIC.

Mantras fall flat.

Positive thinking just leaves you MORE frustrated. (It’s like you can’t even think right!)

Intuition? Forget it! The DIC is 900x louder than the gut.

Friend, if this is you, I feel your frustration. 

And I’m here to offer you a better way to silence your inner critic.

One that’s so simple and reliable, you can teach it to a first-grader (and I have).

And in this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I break it down for you!

You’ll learn:

😃 Why trying to think new thoughts is so maddening and frustrating (and what to do instead)

😃 Where negative self-talk actually comes from (SPOILER ALERT: it’s NOT deep seated trauma or terminal insecurity)

😃 Techniques to stop negative thoughts quickly and easily—and keep them from coming back.

Things started off well. I finished a trail marathon in May and was gunning for my first post-Covid 50K in June.

And then bam. Setbacks!

COVID struck again, followed by a drug-resistant UTI. June became a wash, and I found myself off for the entire month. 

When July arrived, I tried to ease back into hiking and trail running and realized I had lost a lot of conditioning. 

It was heart-breaking. I had so many epic hikes and climbs planned with so many people! 

And now I was going to be SUPER SLOW. If I could do it at all.

This week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain Podcast is the story of how I fucking did it anyway.

Slowly.
With people. 
With self-compassion.
With self-trust.

We'll cover:

  • Why being undertrained isn't always a bad thing (especially for us pressured perfectionists).
  • The magic of focusing on one activity at a time.
  • How to listen to and trust your body.
  • Ways to focus on your whole health during recovery (not just fitness).
  • Thoughts that foster self-compassion.


Work With Me:

If you’re a pressured perfectionist who'd not where you want to be with your health and fitness, I’d love to help you shift into a kinder and more sustainable approach.

Key Quotes:

  • “Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgment, and shame." – Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection
  • "Perfectionists feel every bump in the road. They’re quite stress-sensitive.” – Andrew Hill
  • “Perfectionists are pretty much awash with stress. Even when it’s not stressful, they’ll typically find a way to make it stressful.” – Gordon Flett
  • “Socially prescribed perfectionism, characterized by the feeling that others have high demands, is the most strongly correlated with serious mental illness.” – Thomas Curran

We'll cover:

  • Common traits and challenges faced by perfectionists, including the constant need to meet high expectations—both self-imposed and socially prescribed.
  • My own journey as an only child and high academic achiever, grappling with the intense family pressure of being the "perfect" daughter. 
  • How I recently navigated my deepest inner critic after making a mistake.
  • Some of my favorite tools for taming critical self-talk and fostering self-compassion.
  • The five-step self-restitution process I've been using for 15 years as a self-forgiveness practice.
  • What to do with the anger you feel toward yourself after making a mistake (and what not to do.)

Remember, it’s okay to be imperfect—and more importantly, it’s human. Take small steps toward self-compassion and give yourself the grace to make mistakes along the way.

Whether you’re training for an endurance event like a marathon or just exercising to look and feel better, skipping a workout can send you into a spiral of panic and guilt. 

I know this firsthand, having transitioned from a personal trainer for outdoor endurance athletes (hiking, mountaineering, trail running) to a health and wellness coach for pressured perfectionists.

What We Cover:

  • What we make missed workouts mean versus reality
  • The truth about deconditioning — and why most of us worry way too much about losing fitness.
  • How panic over missed workouts can actually set your fitness back further.
  • Why missed workouts may actually be a blessing in disguise for overachieving athletes.
  • My personal story of running a half marathon PR after missing all my peak training.
  • Practical tips to help you ease back into fitness the smart way after a week off.

Are You a Pressured Perfectionist Ready to Train Smarter, Not Harder? 

If you're done with overtraining and exhausting yourself, I can help you bring balance to your active lifestyle.

From embarrassment and guilt to spiritual insight and self-kindness, this story goes deeper than just clumsiness. It’s about learning to be kinder to myself and embracing the imperfections we all have.

Key Takeaways:

  • The spills: On vacation, after a long hike, I spilled a beer, red wine, and another beer in quick succession. Each time, I was met with generosity and kindness, rather than the scorn I expected.
  • Emotional reaction: I was exhausted and embarrassed, but it also revealed my pattern of being hard on myself, feeling like I don’t deserve to take up space when I make mistakes.
  • People-pleasing roots: Growing up as a people pleaser and peacemaker, I’ve always hated causing trouble, and these spills triggered that deep-seated discomfort.
  • The universe’s message: Talking with a friend led me to see these spills as a spiritual lesson. The universe was offering me opportunities to learn self-compassion and release the need for perfection.
  • Learning to be kinder: Through this experience, I realized that people might actually respond with generosity and understanding, even when I mess up.

You do great for a week ... or sometimes a few weeks.

And then ... CRASH.

You just can't get yourself to step on that treadmill, log that sushi, or take out that slow cooker.

When you try to act, a brick wall of resistance comes up.

Is it because you're lazy?

Do you just need a kick in the pants?

Is the answer to scare yourself?

NOOOOOO.

On this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, we dive into:

👉 The psychology of consistency
👉 Why efforting, shaming, and guilting your way there almost always backfire eventually
👉 And the mindset you need to do more with less struggle — and tear down that brick wall that's in your way.

Especially for a multisport athlete who is running, backpacking, mountaineering and wanting to be ALWAYS READY TO ROLL at a moment's notice.

Also, as I cruised toward 50, I felt like I needed to work harder just to maintain a certain level of performance.

But this summer, I got tired of being exhausted.

Tired of grinding through my day job.

Tired of feeling irritated with every little thing. (Like I would knock over a can of Seltzer and fly into a rage.)

Tired of starting each weekend adventure exhausted from the last weekend adventure.

Tired of feeling spacey and not fully connected while coaching my clients. 

So I did a crazy thing.

😱 I actually cut back my workouts by 30%.

And you know what? 

I am absolutely loving the results! 

I feel like I'm actually performing BETTER on my adventures.

And having more time and energy for everyone else in my life.

In this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'll pull back the curtain and share exactly how I started working out smarter and not harder.

We'll go through the full before and after.

(And also why I didn't do it sooner. I had a lot of insecurities about cutting back. But they were just lies my brain was telling me.)

I hope this gives you so much permission to stop grinding and create a more joyous and sustainable fitness life!

They believed that more was better.

And if they slowed down even a little, they'd crumble.

And that the answer to getting older was to train harder.

Almost none of them were getting enough rest to really hit their peak performance. In fact, they were so inflamed that injuries and illnesses were common.

(Kinda like people think having a baby or getting married or buying a house will finally make them happy.)

But what if you could be happy in any career -- including the one you're in now?

Here's a truth that might feel a little confronting.

It's not your work that makes you happy. It's your thoughts.

And the good news is that you get to think whatever the hell you want!

It opens up the possibility that you could be happy right where you are -- before the big career change.

It also takes the pressure off the process. Because now you don't have to find the one magic unicorn career that will make you happy. You can just decide which career you want to be happy in.

And on this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I show you exactly how to figure that out!

We'll explore:

  • Why there's no one right career for you
  • Why trying to quickly escape your current career often backfires -- and what to do instead
  • How to begin changing your thoughts so you can feel better where you are, slow down, and do a really great career exploration
  • How to start identifying careers that resonate with your values (and rule out ones that don't)

Everyone wants advice, right? (Especially great advice yours!)

Here's the thing.

We're all conditioned to give and receive advice. You can't post about your cat's teeth-grinding without getting a million helpful suggestions — everything from supplements to surgery to GET HIM TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY BEFORE HE DIEZ.

But repeat after me:

🦄 More than anything, people just want to be seen or heard
🦄 And advice does the opposite
🦄 It creates separation
🦄 Especially when we're missing big pieces of context (and we almost always are)

You know what else?

Most of us are also taking too much advice. We're unconsciously believing others know better for us. We've been conditioned not to trust ourselves.

Well adieu to all that!

On this week's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, we dive into:

😊 Why it's important to resist giving unsolicited advice
😊 What to try first when you feel REALLY tempted to give advice
😊 A process to walk yourself through if you're genuinely worried about the other person's situation
😊 Why indirect suggestions work better than advice + examples
😊 Why you should take less advice about your dreams and what to do instead.

Here's How I'm Moving Through It. #63 – I'm So Burned Out. Here's How I'm Moving Through It. This feels wicked vulnerable to share, but here it is ...


I've been going through a pretty dark burnout in December.

One that had me close to quitting my business altogether.

One where it is really hard to create, express, or connect to my natural joy.

I hesitated to share this, because it seems like as a coach who specializes in nervous system healing, I should have it more together.

But the truth is, this burnout is teaching me so much.

​​About myself.

​​About my beliefs around achievement and rest.

​​About what it is to be human.

And I don't want to wait until I have it all perfectly figured out to share it with you!

So here you go. My burnout story and what I'm doing (so far) to help myself out. In all its messy glory.

Enjoy!

Enjoy some highlights from my free 5-Day Self-Healing Challenge (aka Soul Surf Camp).

In this lesson, I talk about how to change your memories. Which if you're haunted by a moment in your past is a useful thing to be able to do!

I should clarify: we're not actually changing the memory itself. We're just changing the emotion around it.

So that a moment that made you feel sad can now make you feel grateful.

Or so you can feel compassion for yourself in a moment that used to feel shameful.

It's all about a process called therapeutic memory reconsolidation. And you can learn it and start using it today!

I'll also teach you a self-hypnosis template you can use to resource yourself up when you're doing this important work.

(And to a large degree, you're right!)

But sometimes trying too hard to have a breakthrough ...

Can actually repel the magic and push it away.

And often when you release the need for a breakthrough, that's exactly when big magic comes to you and hits you like a lightning bolt.

In today's episode, I'll share what I've learned about breakthroughs in three years of facilitating them for clients — and having some myself.

We'll dive into:

  • Why you will never "earn" a breakthrough
  • Beliefs and behaviors that are moving you away from a breakthrough
  • The importance of being in right relationship with your practice
  • My favorite belief for cultivating magic in your practice
  • The importance of faith and surrender in personal growth
  • Why embracing cultivation (small, daily change) actually creates the right conditions for a breakthrough to happen
  • How you will always 100% eventually have a breakthrough (even if it doesn't arrive as huge, spontaneous healing)

If your family is like most families, Thanksgiving get-togethers are kind of a mixed blessing. 😂 

And for some of us, the holidays can be downright painful and poke all sort of old wounds and unresolved traumas.

We'll discuss:

  • Why your family isn't actually the problem (and why this is good news)
  • Coping strategies that DON'T usually work.
  • How family can be a powerful tool for your healing.
  • Ways to think about your family's comments, insults, comparisons, etc. that actually serve you.
  • How to become bulletproof in any family situation.

This was my conclusion when unexpected expenses kept smacking me in the face all through October.

  • There was the appliance repair company ripping me off.
  • The Assisted Living facility making a billing error — and then correcting it by pulling $13,000 out of my account with no warning. 
  • The Home Health company deciding out of nowhere that I owed them $1800, and I'd better pay up or they were sending me to collections.

It felt like fighting a seven-nation army — and left me with no time for actually MAKING money.

I had a niggle that told me to let some of it go.

But because I grew up in a family that was all about hoarding and controlling money, that felt impossible.

And it also felt like I was letting the bad guys win.

Well.

Then I dropped into a very deep money healing study that REALLY helped me rewrite some of those old stories and make new choices.

And today I'm here to share that learning with you!

In today's episode, we'll dig into ...

  • How every money "problem" is actually an opportunity to release and rewrite an old story
  • Why having a controlling relationship with money doesn't work
  • Some of my own family money stories — and how I'm rewriting them
  • The spiritual Law of Release — and how it can help you have a healthier attitude toward money
  • How unconscious journeying (self-hypnosis) can deepen your money healing and provide insights you never dreamed.
  • How healing your own money wounds heals your entire lineage.

We have a lot of traumas (big and little T) that keep us disconnected from our bodies.

You know what was the hardest part? The social events!

I was dating, so that felt super terrifying and vulnerable.

I traveled and stayed with family for a few days, which is always kind of stressful. (Not because they aren't lovely, but because my nervous system gets really jangled when I don't have my own space.)

I usually meet my friend at the same brewery to catch up, and we kept that tradition all through my break. 

I didn't have a work trip or a wedding during that time. But if I did, it would have felt like the final exam. The PhD defense.

So if you're taking a break from drinking (or cutting back or quitting), this episode is for you!

(In fact, you can use it for any behavioral change you're making that really challenges your brain.)

In this episode, I'm going to walk you through some tips to prepare you ahead of time for drinky social events where you plan to be dry.

And then I'll actually lead you through a self-hypnosis template you can use to practice being different in that situation (and also anticipate how awesome it's going to feel after).

Enjoy!

Hurt people and regret it later?

If so, this episode is for you!

We live in a society where it isn't easy to make mistakes. There's a lot of judgement and blame flying around — not all of it justified.

It can make it hard to be a human who's evolving in real time — whether as a parent, professional, or partner.

But there's an antidote to the shame culture.

In today's episode, I share the self-restitution process. It's my favorite tool for taking away shame, strengthening wounded relationships, and growing through hurtful situations.

And sometimes change is upsetting and destabilizing.

Just knowing this can be a huge game changer.

It can free you to release relationships, jobs, places, chapters, and versions of yourself that are now complete so you can make room for what's next.

We humans often use overthinking to keep ourselves safe. And in prehistoric times, it probably worked. 

But even though the world is now safer, we can't stop. So we drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out the right workout plan, dating profile, weight loss strategy, and career path.

The good news is that overthinking and analysis paralysis really are just habits. And we can teach our brains new habits.

But you know who a lot of us aren't asking for guidance?

The most important person — ourselves.

Learning to ask yourself for guidance is a game-changer.

Putting your own guidance first is a game-changer.

Learning to trust your own authority is a game-changer.

I could have avoided so much difficulty in life by simply asking myself, "What do I really think about this?" (Before diving in headfirst 😂 .)

Did you know your mind is holding onto every piece of wisdom, every insight, every helpful thought, every creative idea you've ever had?

You can't access them all with your conscious mind. Because think about it. Knowing everything at once would be like extreme ADHD.

But you can access anything you need to when you need it! And meditation is a great way to do that.

So today on the podcast, I'm sharing the wise advocate meditation. (You can also think of it as the "highest self meditation," if that lands better.)

Have fun going inside your brain and asking (yourself) any question you want!

I do this one all the time, and I'm always surprised what answers come through.

Why?

Because I wasn't having any massive breakthroughs.

🔥  I wasn't making six figures in my business while sitting on a beach with my laptop.

🔥 I wasn't engaged to the love of my life.

🔥 I didn't have a perfect, healthy body with a six pack. (Do 47 year-olds even have six packs? Doubtful. But that's where my mind still goes. 😂 )

I didn't have any of the external stuff. So my mind told me I was failing somehow.

But here's the truth.

The personal growth industry is constantly selling the idea that the only kind of change that "counts" is big, visible, and external.

When in reality, the greatest changes you will ever experience will be internal.

The industry sells us on the idea of changing quickly and dramatically.

When in reality, the biggest changes are subtle, incremental, and add up slowly over time. (Often so slowly that it feels like nothing is happening at all!)

The industry tells us we need a breakthrough. When in reality, breakthroughs are far less common than subtle shifts.

So today, I want to talk about the practice of cultivation.

How daily devotion to your growth pays off in the long run (and often much more than that breakthrough you're hoping for).

And how the most valuable shifts you can experience are internal and invisible — yet deeply felt and life-changing.

To some people, these are spooky concepts!

But to me, they are some of the most healing words in the English language.

And it's time to pull back the curtain.

In today's episode, I'm going to spill the beans on all things hypnosis.

What it is ... and isn't.

How it works, and what modern neuroscience research tells us about its effectiveness.

How I structure my client journeys to help create lasting change without struggle.

The three levels of work we do in hypnocoaching. 

I'll also debunk common hypnosis myths (I used to believe these too!)

And tell you how you can experience hypnosis for free (and also what it's like to be a private hypnocoaching client).

And I can tell you as a coach and personal trainer that SOME OF IT IS HYPE.

However, a good night's sleep has many benefits:

  • Cleanses your brain of neurotoxins
  • Promotes neuroplasticity, change, and emotional shifts
  • Regulates your hormones and metabolism (can even help you lose weight)
  • Promotes deep cellular healing (so essential for you Long Covid peeps!)
  • Improves focus and productivity
  • Gives your mood a boost

So in this podcast episode, I'm going to share some tools to help you fall asleep quickly and easily.

We'll cover:

  • The winning sleep mindset
  • How to slow down internal processing
  • How to quiet self talk
  • And more!

Maybe. 

But if you know me, I like to stir the pot a little.

Also, as part of the coaching and personal development industry, I feel a duty to call out harmful practices. 

That way, potential clients can recognize them, avoid them, and self-innoculate for those moments when they show up out of nowhere. 

(Yes, even when it's something I say.)

It's time to burn down lies like:

  • If you got cancer, you manifested it with negative thinking
  • Bad things are happening because you let in the bad thoughts
  • The whole point of life is to be happy, and it's actually possible to be happy all the time
  • Personal development means pushing away or ignoring negative experiences (others' and your own)
  • We need to silence the low vibe parts of us
  • Suzy reached her business/weight/dating goal faster because her thoughts are better than mine

In this episode, you'll learn why toxic positivity is such a hot trend, where it comes from, and what you can do when it shows up in your life.

(Marination Station) #39 – Do I Really Need to Feel My Damn Emotions? (Marination Station) "You need to feel it in order to heal it."

But do you really Becky?

Or is that just something all the personal development people say?

As a somatic practitioner and hypnotist who teaches people how to regulate emotions (often to the point where you can't feel them at all), I get a lot of questions about this.

Shouldn't we be feeling our emotions instead of knocking them down?

Do we really have to experience negative emotion to heal and be healthy? (Cause ew.)

The short answer is no.  You can don't need to feel negative emotions.

But believe it or not, sometimes you might want to.

In today's podcast, I'll share some of the ways that allowing negative emotion serves us. Deepens us. Helps us grow.

And also some of the times we probably SHOULDN'T marinate (and just tap that shit right out).

At first, I was like, WTAF. I thought I fixed this shit!

There was also that feeling of: I teach other people how to work through fear, so this is totally unacceptable and shameful.

But then, I had to use ALL MY TOOLS to get out of that fear, and it kind of felt like a bit of a final exam of everything I've learned.

How you have to be tenacious.

I feel you, bestie. 

I used to get to the end of each day of grinding only to see the to-do list half completed and feel existential despair.

What helped?

In a word, ceremony!

No, I'm not going to make you lick toads or talk to chakras or channel your star ancestors or even DO A PAST LIFE REGRESSION. (Though you totally could, if any of those turn you on.)

Ceremony is simply about bringing significance and presence to our everyday experience.

It's a reminder to take time to truly live and appreciate what's already around us.

You don't have to believe in chakras, angels, starseeds, plant medicine, aromatherapy, or anything unscientific to have a deep and satisfying ceremonial practice.

You just have to believe that we feel life's magic most in the still moments. When we are fully present.

So in this podcast episode, I'm going to walk you through my daily spiritual practices and ceremonies.

Ceremony is an incredibly personal thing, so use this as a jumping off point to create YOUR ceremony — one that moves your soul and resonates deeply with you!

How you do it is so unimportant. It's all about doing what brings joy, peace, abundance, wonder, healing, and focus to your life.

I'm tired of people believing that they are lazy and lack willpower because they aren't skinny with a six pack at 47. (All while working overtime, raising teenagers, walking the dog, and trying to keep the house from looking like a shit show.)

Here's the truth.

When it comes to our bodies, we are all profoundly spiritually wounded.

We are disconnected from our bodies — and from nature and our essential wildness.

It's what makes issues around weight, fitness, and body image so profoundly painful and difficult.

It's what sabotages us every time we try to make change.

So what's the answer?

I think you'll like it. It's rather juicy.

It's all about saying FUCK YOU to Suzy influencer who's trying to sell you the latest fitness program and diet supplements. (Suzy's got butt implants, by the way.)

It's about giving the finger to jacked gurus trying to sell you on the latest diet with a name. (And a bunch of products to go with it.)

It's all about healing old wounds and getting in right relationship with yourself, your food, and the planet.

It's about reclaiming your essential wildness and leaning into your own pleasure.

And eventually, it's about making change from a place that feels whole, aligned, and free of shame or urgency.

Sound amazing? Let's dive in!

I am NOT a house person.

Which is probably why I've been finding healing my living space so powerful.

There is a spiritual law that states, "As within, so without."

And I've realized that my messy, neglected, underappreciated, cluttered house reflects a lot of what I'm carrying around in my head.

That it's probably not the best place to create a successful business, call in love and write a book. Because this space screams block, doubt, unworthiness, and settling for crumbs.

That my house is literally holding my unresolved trauma.

And that by healing the house, I can heal myself. And that it may be a key part of my long COVID healing journey.

So this week on the podcast, I talk about what I'm doing to elevate my space and the lessons I've learned along the way.

Or alternately, have you ever spent years in therapy and wondered why nothing was changing?

Neuroscience has the answers to your questions. And they are really cool! 

Spoiler alert: your brain is constantly rewiring its neural pathways. And you can use simple tools to direct and speed up the process.

In this episode, we look at the four magic steps you'll find under every healing experience. And I'll share some examples of how these might look in EMDR, talk therapy, breathwork, psychedelics, or even a hug from your partner.

 I've had a lifelong struggle with people pleasing that has impacted all areas of my life.

Showing up to dinner with a friend when I'm so sick I have to drag my ass through the door because I hate to cancel plans? Check.

Pointlessly dating the same guy for weeks because I can't bring myself to tell him there's no spark? Check.

Taking on a volunteer role that is essentially an unpaid part-time job just because someone asked? Check.

Ignoring it when someone is mistreats me, because I'm programmed to be pleasant? Check.

 But over the past few years, I've had a few wake up calls (ahem: chronic illness) that I need to heal this so I can serve at higher level.

So this week, I'm sharing some actions I'm taking (Garbage Bitch challenge!) and some of the teachings that have supported me as I'm walking this healing path.

It's intermittent fasting and nutrient cycling when you fundamentally just need to eat high quality foods.

  • There's a pandemic and a lockdown
  • You get hurt
  • You come down with some kind of chronic illness that makes exercise hard
  • Something happens in the community that's against your values and that you can't get behind
  • You get ostracized by that community for whatever reason

P.S.: I really wish I would have mentioned this in the episode, but my ideas about fat loss have been greatly influenced by runner, sports nutritionist, and author Matt Fitzgerald. If you want to further explore the ideas I've shared here, I recommend his book Racing Weight (aff. link).

Some of you who struggle with motivation might think, "How is that even a problem? If there's an overtraining curse, smite me with it!"

But the truth is, overtraining can actually be more damaging to your goals than undertraining. And as we'll see, it's not uncommon for undertrainers to evolve into overtrainers if they don't work on their mindsets.

So today on the podcast, I'll share the science behind overtraining, how to catch it early — and most importantly, how to prevent it.

Imagine yourself a year from now.

What will you be able to climb? How different will your body feel? What will be easy for you?

If you worry it might not actually be that different, consider this. Science suggests that most of us overestimate what we can accomplish in a month, but underestimate what we can accomplish in a year.

And I am here to tell you that if you keep up the hard work, you might not recognize yourself 12 months from now.

So today on the podcast, to give you an example, I'm going to look back at my own development over the past year. I'll share what changed physically and the mindset that got me there.

But what the French Toast does that actually mean?

How do you act like an Olympian when you're a hobbyist athlete with no sponsors, a full-time job, and kids who are eating crayons behind your back?

The truth is that you will probably never have the luxury of training 40 hours a week like Simon Biles of John John Florence.

But do you know where you can be exactly like a champion? Your mindset. And between you and me, I think that's where all the magic happens in training.

So today, we'll look at 5 things champions DON'T do that you shouldn't either.

It's usually not fitness.

And no, it's not because they ate Cheetos during training.

It's because they lack mental toughness.

Does that sound harsh? Hear me out.

By definition, endurance sports push you to your absolute limits. And often, your body can do the work before your mind is ready for that level of discomfort.

Sadly, this can lead you to quit when you're just about to succeed!

I get this question a lot.

Everyone's looking for a test.

Should you be able to run a 5K before you climb Pikes Peak?

Should you be able to ascend 1,000 feet an hour before attempting Rainier?

Friends, here's the truth.

There's no fitness test you need to pass before you climb your mountain.

You should never let the fact that you're not meeting some imaginary benchmark stop you.

However, because I know a lot of you are motivated by goals, in this episode, I'm going to give you five benchmarks you can use for different objectives.

We'll start with an easy day hike and work our way up to high-altitude mountaineering and ultrahiking.

Ready? Let's do this!

So in this podcast episode, we're going to dive into who benefits from weight loss and how to do it the healthy way.

It's all about taking it slowly and respecting your body's need for fuel.

However, some of us (waves hand) have probably started to overrely on alcohol as a way to cope.

And that doesn't serve us when we're trying to transform our bodies through months of endurance training.

You’ve taken vacation days from work and flown across the country to climb a Colorado 14er. Let’s say it’s Longs Peak.

As you’re climbing, you look into the distance and see dark clouds gathering. You wonder if you should call it a day and head down, but you don’t want to miss your only shot at Longs.

Also, all the people around you — the tourists in flip flops and jean shorts — are still heading up.

In this moment, how do you sort through all the feelings and doubts and make the right decision?

Well, the good news is that wilderness decision-making actually has some brain science behind it.

Today on the podcast, we’re going to dive into the thought errors that might cloud your thinking so you can notice them when they’re happening and make safer choices.

And we’re going to get some help from an avalanche educator who has studied lots of wilderness accidents, figured out what went wrong, and how we can all do better.

You may be asking yourself, how the cheese balls do I train for high altitude mountain hiking when I live at sea level?

Friends, if you're dreaming your mountain hiking dreams in the flatlands, this episode is for you.

Today I'm going to share with you the workouts that helped me prepare for big mountaineering trips while living in Cleveland, Ohio (which is flat) and Bangkok, Thailand (which is below sea level).

I can't promise you it will be fun or easy. But is it possible to train for mountain hiking in the flatlands? 110 percent.

It's so unfair.

But the truth is, hiking a lot doesn't necessarily translate into speed on trail.

The good news is that making a few tweaks to your workout can really ramp up your speed. And it can happen relatively quickly.

So if you want to shock your friends (and delight yourself) by morphing into a speed demon, this is the episode for you.

We'll cover:

  • Why getting faster shouldn't be your first priority, especially as a beginner
  • What physical adaptations make a hiker faster
  • How to get faster by ... hiking faster (it's intuitive, but so many people miss this one)
  • The magic of the heavy backpack workout
  • Why steep, gnarly terrain is your friend (sometimes)
  • Why losing weight won’t automatically translate into speed (though it sometimes helps).

So grab a pen and paper and prepare to take some life changing notes.

Here's What to Eat. [CYM 1.0] #16 – Want to Be an Energy Monster on Trail? Here's What to Eat. Are you fed up with falling behind the pack on long hikes?

Are you so tired after hiking that you skip your shower and go to bed dirty?

Maybe it's because you're trying to climb a huge mountain on two goos and a sawdust bar.

If you're training hard and getting nowhere, it's time to look at your fueling strategy.

The truth is, very few people eat and drink enough during training hikes and long workouts.

And that's too bad, because nutrition is just as important as working out. In fact, dialing in your nutrition might be the secret sauce you need to take your mountaineering game to the next level!

So in this week's podcast episode, I'm going to show you exactly what to eat before, during, and after your hikes.

These tips may seem simple. But I guarantee you, they work!

Once you get your nutrition dialed in, you'll feel like a new creature (energy monster!).

So why be slow and tired for one more day? Click play and let's get started!

If that's the case, it may be time to look at your diet. 

Too many mountaineers treat our sport as an excuse to eat whatever the hell we want. (I know, because I was one of them.)

But the truth is, our bodies burn fuel just like cars. And if you put crappy, watered-down gasoline in your Suburu, it's going to be misfiring, sputtering along, and die halfway up the next big hill, right?

So in today's episode, we're going to break down how to eat during mountaineering training. You'll learn:

  • All about macros – plus the number one mistake athletes make when counting them.
  • How to eat enough carbs to fuel a short workout and a long one.
  • How to heal your body and conserve lean muscle by eating enough protein.
  • Common myths about fat that can hurt you, and why fat is essential for heart health.
  • How underfueling can sabotage your training and how to avoid it.
  • And much more!

Mountaineering training takes months of hard work. But by eating right, you'll give your body the fuel it needs to get stronger, faster, and tougher.

[CYM 1.0] #14 – Nerdy Heart Rate Training Questions ANSWERED! Heart rates are kinda like boobs. No one's ever happy with theirs! 

I get A LOT of questions from people who see their friend Suzy's heart rate stats on Instagram Stories and are freaking out because theirs is different. They seriously wonder if they've screwed up their fitness or they have a heart defect.

And honestly, after 12 solid months of heart rate training, I do the same thing.

So this episode, we're going to burn all that down and dive into the nitty gritty science of heart rate training. We'll talk about:

  • Why knowing your max heart rate is meaningless — and what numbers actually DO matter.
  • How to find the perfect target heart rates to build endurance and speed.
  • The effects of altitude on heart rate, and what to do about it.
  • Factors that screw up your heart rate, and what to do instead when yours is off.
  • Why comparing your heart rate to Suzy's is pointless.
  • The best gear for heart rate training.

If you've been frustrated by heart rate training in the past, this episode is for you! Chances are, you'll listen and realize there's nothing wrong with your heart and that you're exactly where you need to be.

You spend months training, buy $700 boots, travel around the world ... and then you don't summit. Suddenly you're overwhelmed by disappointment, second guessing yourself, and feeling like a total failure. 

But believe it or not, missing a summit here and there can make you a better mountaineer and a happier, more resilient human in the long run. The truth is that all successful mountaineers have long lists of unfinished peaks, and that we often learn valuable life lessons from these so-called failures.

In this episode, let's talk about:

  • First aid for the soul: What to do right afterward to feel better
  • How to lower the stakes by loving your entire training journey
  • Understanding what you can and can't control, and the mindset benefits of surrender
  • Trip planning tips that can help to ease your disappointment if you don't summit
  • Life lessons I've learned from my "unfinished" summits

I'd like to say that I hope you never need this episode. But honestly, if you keep mountaineering, you inevitably will at some point! So keep this one on your phone for those days when you need some peppermint schnapps-infused hot chocolate for the mountaineering soul.

You might regret it. [CYM 1.0] #9 – Are you dieting during mountaineering training? You might regret it. So many people come into mountaineering training as a way to get healthy and lose weight. If that's you, first off, I want to congratulate you! Committing to a big, long-term goal like a mountain climbing trip is going to teach you so much about your mind and body.

However, this can also be a tricky place to be. Because do you know what you have to do to succeed in endurance training? You have to EAT! A lot.

The sad truth is that a huge number of mountaineers and endurance athletes — including those with a so-called healthy diet — are chronically underfueled.

They think their sports nutrition is on pointe. But they're wrong, and it's hurting them.

They're convinced they need rigid fad diets (keto, paleo) or behaviors (cleanses, intermittent fasting) to succeed. Or just as often, they're simply not eating enough to fuel their bodies because they have rigid ideas about how much food is too much food.

The sad thing is, underfueling yourself in training can actually cause your body to hold on to weight — not to mention hold back your fitness progress.

So today, I'm going to talk about healthy ways to fuel your body during mountaineering training so you can kick more ass and feel good doing it!
