Episode 50 - Her Why | LeAnne Rodriguez

Every episode we start by asking “What’s your Everest?” or your biggest goal or challenge in life.  BUT there is another question that lies beyond the pronouncement of a goal or something you want to accomplish and it’s a bit more complex. Why? Why do you want to challenge yourself? Why do you want to sacrifice time and money? Why is THIS so important?  Why? I was scrolling through my instagram feed the other day and came across this post by 29029 alumni, LeAnne Rodriguez.  *************** I was struggling with my WHY the other day. 🤍 You know the “why are you climbing again?”🤍 I used to laugh and say it’s my drug. 🤍 But last week I made a promise to myself that I would stop joking to hide the pain. 🤍 Why do I want to be back on that mountain every year? 🤍 Because on that mountain … -no one cares about my past -no one is gossiping -EVERYONE is cheering each other on every step -your mountain friends will love you FOREVER. -there’s no snide remarks or jealousy on that mountain. We are all in awe of each other. -no one really cares what you do for work. They just want to know why you are on the mountain. -the mountain makes you realize that you are amazing all by yourself -the mountain stories will be ones you cherish forever So the next time you wonder why someone is doing something make sure you are also truly wanting to know. 🤍 Find your mountain my friends. ***************** I had watched LeAnne climb Snowbasin and then Jackson Hole and knew I would see her again in Sun Valley this season.  She always radiated light and hope, but I knew there was something behind her words in this post.  I wanted to know more. I wanted to know Why?  Every mountain has a beginning, so let’s start there…… Find out more about 29029 Everesting events and our incredible COMMUNITY by clicking the links.
