Last week in Mexico, I tried to take the bus to a cenote (swimming hole). 

I was SURE it would take just 15 minutes to jump on the colectivo (mini-bus).

90 minutes later …

😭 I’d just walked all over Tulum in the blazing sun trying to get cash for the bus fare …

😭 And then walked another 30 minutes looking for the right bus stop

😭 I was sweating, dehydrated, frustrated and PISSED because I wanted to get to the cenote early before the crowds

😭 I finally caught the damn bus

What went wrong here?

Absolutely nothing. 

This is the way it’s supposed to work. 

Our brains tell us we can do it faster.

But our brains are wrong.

By planning only for the best-case scenario, we create a lot of frustration for ourselves.

We end up feeling stressed, behind, incapable, and overwhelmed.

Life feels chaotic.

We’re late for everything.

And we quit on our dreams because we think they’re taking too long. (When really we just underestimated the time and effort required.)

So this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, let’s talk about a new way to plan.

One that factors in delays, missteps, friction, and obstacles.

It’s incredibly simple.

And if you’re setting 2026 intentions, it will save you so much heartache!

Enjoy. ❤️
