#187 Anyssa Lucena "Confident Climbers"
from i want what SHE has · host Theresa Lyn Widmann
Today's guest is the very inspiring Anyssa Lucena. She helps women climbers gain confidence by teaching them how to overcome self-limiting beliefs, get stronger and live an empowered life through climbing. As a former rock climber, when I heard about Anyssa and her work, my curiosity led me to her website where I learned more about her background, and her story was so inspiring that I wanted to invite her on the show. Due to her schedule, we recorded our conversation last week, and I play that for you today. As you'll hear, after having 3 kids, Anyssa suddenly realized she was deeply unhappy with her life. Something was missing. Her youngest was 9 months old when she asked her husband for a divorce. She was 38, suddenly a divorced - single mom of 3 kids, ages 5, 3, and 9 months and had no idea whatsoever what her future would look like. She had left her wall street job when she had kids, and although she was well educated and experienced, she couldn’t imagine returning to a corporate environment. She had no idea what her future would look like, but she had faith that somehow, things would work out. Spoiler alert, things have turned out well for Anyssa, but getting there wasn't always easy and rock climbing helped her find her way. It's surprising how metaphorical rock climbing is for life in general. Her story really resonated with me and I hope you enjoy it too.Some of my favorite parts of our conversation today are about exploring fears, self compassion, mom guilt, "divorce arms," internal validation, shifts in mindset and celebrating failure. So good!As I mention at the end of the show, here's the article about Menstrual Huts in India.And here's the article I referenced about addiction to money and power that Marielena and I will touch upon during the September 13th show.Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.Our show music is from Shana Falana !!!Feel free to email me, say hello: [email protected]** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFY | STITCHERITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCASTITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/she-wants/i-want-what-she-has?refid=stpr’Follow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcastTWITTER * https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas
