Hiking a mountain is a great metaphor for achieving a goal or overcoming an obstacle in life.  They all take a little planning.  It's important to pace yourself.  You get where you want to go by putting one foot in front of the other.  

Whether you're hiking, going after a goal or overcoming an obstacle there will be easy breezy moments where you're barely breaking a sweat and tough terrain that threatens to knock you off your feet.  

I recently went on a hike here in Phoenix.  This podcast tells the story of what I learned on that hike.  

1️⃣ Pick the right trail for your current skill set.

2️⃣ Be consistent.

3️⃣ Don't forget to look up.

4️⃣ When you're tired, rest don't quit.

5️⃣ Enjoy the view from the top. 

Bonus realization: Hiking is more fun with a friend and easier if that friend has already hiked that trail. 

You don't have to enjoy hiking to get value out of this episode.  If you're wrestling with a problem or struggling to achieve a goal, this podcast will bring a fresh perspective to whatever you're dealing with.

About the Host 

For nearly two decades of her life, Pamela Hughes had a microphone in front of her face. After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in broadcast journalism, she started her news career with a brief stint in western Wisconsin before making her way back to the Grand Canyon State.  In Phoenix, Pamela quickly climbed the newsroom ladder and started teaching the next generation of journalists at ASU.  She knows what it’s like to chase the big story as a journalist, inform an audience as an anchor, and oversee an entire operation as a news director.  She spent the final six years of her news career as the only female talk show host in Phoenix.

While Pamela loved connecting with her audience and bringing them the big stories of the day,  the grind and negativity of the news cycle took its toll.  In an effort to help navigate the growing emotional demands of her high profile career, the desire to be an exceptional mom and a great wife, Pamela got a Life Coach.   That one decision changed her life.

Her coach helped her discover the hidden power of thoughts.  She started to manage her mind and was amazed at how that transformed her life.  Pamela decided to quit telling people what was wrong in the world and started to help people discover what was right within their own world.

Now, Pamela  helps people take back their power to create the life they once envisioned for themselves. Her primary focus is on creating an awareness of how you're thinking so you can create the results you want. Whether you're are stuck in life or their career, she can help you finally take the action you've been putting off.
