Today I’m taking you behind the scenes of my Everest Base Camp (and peak!) training journey — the real stuff. Injuries, gadgets, gear, and the surprising power of voice notes.

In this episode, I share:

• Why I enlisted coach Kyle Mooney from Experience Not Felt Possible
• How we’re using the Final Surge app + voice note coaching to build momentum
• What it’s like walking with a weighted vest for the first time (spoiler: weirdly energising!)
• A surprising mention of weighted vests on Diary of a CEO (thank you Petra Zinc for the heads-up!)
• My experience using a TENS machine for recovery — and Kyle’s take on whether it actually works
• Why voice note coaching is so underrated (and how I use it in my own offer, Leanne on Demand)

If you're prepping for a big goal, curious about behind-the-scenes athlete coaching, or just love a peek into someone else's process, this episode's for you.
