While most of us just need to listen to "the whispers" to change the entire trajectory of our lives, Jenn Drummond needed a shock event. That moment came in the form of a devastating car accident that left her with a profound realization: life is too short to live small.

She began writing a bucket list, determined to make an impact and honor her gift of life. When her plans to climb Ama Dablam were derailed, Jenn's young son challenged her to climb Mount Everest instead - the ultimate test of human endurance.

Despite having no prior mountaineering experience and being a mother of seven, Jenn took on the challenge head-on. This was just the beginning of her journey to becoming the first woman in the world to climb all seven of the world's second-highest summits.

Jenn describes what it was like to tackle such an audacious goal with no prior experience while juggling the responsibilities of motherhood and a busy life. However, the true power of Jenn's story lies in the profound lessons she learned along the way. 

Discover why pursuing goals is less about the achievement itself and more about the person you become in the process.

If you've ever doubted your ability to achieve the impossible while juggling the responsibilities of life and parenthood, Jenn's story will inspire you to dream bigger and push beyond your perceived limits. 

In This Episode:

- The accident that changed everything

- Climbing Everest

- Overcoming self-sabotage

- It's the pursuit that gives life meaning, not the end-goal 

- Why taking a season of rest is important

- Lessons learned from climbing the mountains

- Facing fear and failure on K2

- Returning to K2

- Overcoming illness and adversity

- The power of perspective

- Embracing fear and new challenges

About my Guest:

Jenn Drummond is a world record-holding mountaineer, international speaker, author, and host of the Seek Your Next Summit podcast. Inspired by her young son, she set out to climb Mount Everest, and then her coach proposed an even greater challenge: becoming the first woman to climb the Seven Second Summits and secure a Guinness World Record.

As a successful business owner and mother of seven remarkable kids, Jenn now dedicates her life to inspiring others to go beyond success and master their own summits, both in life and in the mountains.

Today, I'm sharing a replay of one of my "Get Ready With Me" live sessions on Instagram, during which I answer your burning questions as I put on my makeup.

Join me as I answer questions on topics like how terrified I was to go live on social media at first (yes, even as a former actress!), and why pushing ourselves to do scary, uncomfortable things is vital for personal growth. I also opened up about a difficult conversation I had recently and how facing that fear head-on freed me from so much anxiety.

We cover a lot of ground in this one, so get ready to be inspired to push past your comfort zone and become the most confident version of yourself!

It's time to put in the reps and prove to yourself that you're capable of hard things. Let's do this together!

Let's be real - rejection stings, no matter who you are or what you're trying to achieve. Whether it's a job you didn't get, a stage you didn't book, or a romantic partner who didn't choose you, hearing "no" is never fun.

But what if I told you that rejection is not a roadblock, but a key to unlocking your biggest breakthroughs and most incredible opportunities? What if every "no" was not a rejection, but a redirection to something even better?

In this episode, I'm sharing:

- The 5 specific steps I use to process and reframe every rejection

- Why numbing out your feelings after a "no" is the worst thing you can do

- How to diagnose a rejection and use it to level up

- The hidden "yeses" in the rejections that shaped my life and career

- How to develop an action plan that turns a "no" into a win

I'm also taking you behind the scenes and reading real rejection emails I've received — because transparency is everything!

If you've ever struggled with rejection or let a "no" derail your dream, this episode will be a game-changer. It's time to change your relationship with rejection and start harnessing its power.

Your biggest "yeses" are on the other side of your most painful "noes" - listen now to start seeing them!

Ever started a business on a whim, just to cure boredom or pursue a passion? For serial entrepreneur Jeff Fenster, that's exactly how his wildly successful multi-million acai bowl franchise, Everbowl, was born.

But Jeff's path to success was anything but linear. From enlisting in the Marine Corps to pursuing a law degree, Jeff tried all the ‘donkey ideas’ before stumbling upon his true unicorn. He even "retired" at a young age, only to discover that a life without purpose left him feeling unfulfilled.

In a moment of boredom, Jeff took a leap of faith and signed a lease for his first Everbowl location with no business plan, no menu, and no clue what he was doing.

However, his unique approach to building relationships with customers and his willingness to start before he was ready were some of the key moments that propelled Everbowl to success. Today, Everbowl Franchise boasts nearly 100 Stores, which were built by his construction company, ‘WeBuild’.

If you've ever felt like a failure, questioned your purpose, or struggled to build genuine relationships in the business world, Jeff's story will inspire you to keep pushing forward. 

Jeff also shares tactical tips on how to cultivate a positive mindset, attract success, and build a thriving network based on generosity and authenticity.

Get ready to laugh, learn, and feel motivated to chase your wildest dreams. Because if Jeff can build a business even without being ready, so can you.
