Manage episode 473456047 series 2931179
In today's episode, I sit down with the amazing Jill Wheatley, an elite ultra athlete and mountaineer. Having climbed 7 of the highest peaks in the world including K2, the second highest mountain in the world at 28000 feet, Jill has made it her life mission to keep pushing the goal posts in her life. Her aim is clear — to pursue excellence within herself, while also inspiring countless other people along the way.
Jill was almost killed in a tragic accident back in 2014 which caused a traumatic brain injury. This accident forced her to not have to learn to walk again, it also left her with permanent vision loss. What she has been able to accomplish with only 30% of her vision speaks volumes for the resilience and courage she has built since her accident. The lessons she shares in today’s conversation are profound.
From learning how to navigate deep grief and despair to being able to grapple with fear of uncertainty to developing the self-compassion needed to be nurturing with herself in her darkest hours —you'll see for yourself that Jill is full of insight and wisdom. She is a fantastic role model for anyone pursuing tough things in their life.
As you get ready to listen, I hope you can take a pause to think about the great things you’ve been able to accomplish in your own life. What roles did resilience, self-compassion, drive and purpose play in getting you to where you want to be? As you listen to Jill’s journey, I hope you connect with many of the lessons she shares.
For those still struggling to find deeper hope and purpose, listen closely and learn from her. The tools and strategies she shares will be immediately applicable in your life.
Regardless of who you are or where you are listening to this podcast from, I hope you find awesome takeaway value from this discussion between Jill Wheatley and myself.
