🌴324. Cozy Relief

I’m tucked into a cozy tea house in Perche while our summit team pushed on to 6,200 meters, and this morning we found out they all made it. Hearing that news after imagining them climbing at 1 am in negative 20 degrees on fixed lines in the dark filled me with so much pride and relief.A few of us stayed back, and with partners and loved ones up there, the waiting felt long. But everyone’s safe, and now they’re making their way down toward us. I can’t wait to see them.Meanwhile, I’m finally slowing down after ten intense days. My body still feels the altitude, my readiness score is terrible, and the cold mornings are no joke, but I’m relaxing, eating simple meals, and letting myself recover. Tomorrow we’ll take a helicopter to Lukla and then head into Kathmandu for some warmth and rest.Takeaways• Pride in the team’s summit• Listening to my body was the right call• Recovery is part of the journey• Community makes the hard days easier• The descent brings its own kind of peacePre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
