12 years ago, I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. And despite all my readiness and preparation, it did not go well. 

In this episode, I am telling this story -- a story I have avoided talking about for so long -- because it is something that has been coming up for me in a new endeavor. This story is a reminder to everyone, and to myself. 

This experience I share will demonstrate the power of our stories -- the power of the stories that we tell ourselves, and what we allow ourselves to believe to be true about ourselves.
