Can you imagine training 1,238 hours for a moment that lasts just 10 minutes?

Now imagine doing all that training as a working mom to 7 kids. Feels kind of impossible right? Well, if you’re looking for a boost of inspiration today, we’ve got you. 

This week on Habits & Hustle I’m joined by guest, Jenn Drummond. Becoming the first (and only) woman to complete the seven second summits we discuss how she balanced her rigorous training with motherhood and entrepreneurship, from pre-dawn workouts and on-the-go exercises at her kids soccer games. 

She also shares the rigorous mental and physical preparation that goes into climbing Mount Everest, and how to shift your mindset from prioritizing achievements, to the people and relationships that help you get there. Jenn also explores the critical importance of following rules and maintaining a strong mindset in an extreme environment, and how we can apply that to our own lives day-to-day. 

Jenn Drummond is a world record holder, author of ‘BreakProof’, host of the ‘Seek Your Summit’ podcast, and mom of 7. Jenn holds the record for the first woman to summit the seven second summits following a life-threatening car accident in 2018.
