Podcast Intro:

In this Coaching Gym turned podcast, we meet Emily Cole, Wilderness Guide/Mentor AND Yoga Health Coach. While she has achieved her initial goals through her pilot, she is now in Mastery and ready for what's next!

This conversation guides us on how to align our personal goals into reality through Emily's unique experience as a Wilderness Guide.
