In an interview just posted on Mentors Collective, I talk about the many parallels between pushing one’s body and mind in the wilderness and challenging oneself in the workplace or at home.
Carrying my gear uphill, setting up camp, feeling cold and uncomfortable—sometimes almost hypothermic—means that I never mind when the elevators break, when I have to work long hours on a project, when I must go out in cold, snow, wind, or hurricane. I believe I grow when I’m uncomfortable.
I hope women reading it will be inspired to try going out on their own in natural places. I hope all people will realize that pushing beyond what they thought they could do, physically, brings huge benefits to all of life.
