Today we share our recent hiking adventure in Tahoe — and the very real mental battles that came with it. From the moment we started running uphill at high elevation, the physical strain was obvious, but the mental strain was even louder.

We pull back the curtain on our internal monologues — the negative thoughts that crept in, the moments of self-doubt, and the “why are we doing this?” questions — and how we worked through them in real time. One of the biggest takeaways? How powerful it can be to say those thoughts out loud instead of letting them fester. By sharing our struggles with each other, we were able to shift the energy, laugh about the hard parts, and turn a grueling climb into something we genuinely enjoyed.

We talk about the importance of communication, endurance, and mutual support — and how facing hard things together not only builds resilience, but also strengthens our connection. In the end, the challenge wasn’t just about getting to the top of the mountain. It was about proving that we can push through discomfort and still find joy in the journey.
