EP83: What Kilimanjaro taught me about doing hard things
Episode 83
Monday, 2 February, 2026
This isn't an episode about endurance or bucket lists. It's about who you become under pressure. When your body is exhausted, your mind starts bargaining, and the usual ways you lead, cope or push through stop working. In this episode, I share what climbing Kilimanjaro revealed about pressure, identity, the voices that show up when things get hard and the moment I didn't think I could take another step. This is a reflection on fear, asking for help, the unseen cost of coming back down and why the real transformation often only becomes clear after the climb is over. If you're leading, navigating change or in a season that's quietly demanding more of you than before, this episode will meet you where you are. Just like the climb, clarity doesn't always arrive at the summit — it often comes when you stop and really look at where you are. The Life Clarity Quiz helps you reflect on what's aligned, what feels heavy and what support could change the way you move forward.
