I’m recording this from Kathmandu — my last night before the trek begins! 🏔️
It’s Friday afternoon, the bags are (mostly) packed, and I’ve just wrapped up our group briefing with Matt Stewart from Experience Not Felt Possible. Tomorrow, we fly into one of the most challenging airports in the world before starting our Everest Base Camp adventure. The excitement (and a few nerves) are definitely real.
In this episode, I share:
✨ What it feels like to be in Kathmandu right before the trek kicks off
✨ The story behind this year’s trip theme — G.O.O.Y.W: Get Out Of Your Way — and why it’s already changing how I think
✨ My plan to go slow, take photos, and actually enjoy the journey
✨ How a shopping detour with my new friend Bianca made me late to the briefing (and how that turned into a laugh)
✨ My favorite gear finds — including the most perfect $50 blue North Face jacket
✨ And a quick message from my performance coach, Kyle Mooney, reminding me to keep it simple: “Don’t be shit.”
It’s a mix of anticipation, reflection, and honesty — that moment before stepping into something unknown. Thanks for listening — next time, I’ll be somewhere on the trail. 🌏✨
