What the Mountains Teach Us About Fear and Purpose with Barry Blanchard | Ep. 37

from Plan To Endure

This conversation with Barry Blanchard goes far beyond climbing. We talk about his Métis identity, spirituality, and the deep pull the mountains have had on his life from an early age. Barry reflects on epic ascents, profound loss, love, injury, and the moments that forced him to redefine who he was when climbing was taken away.We explore fulfilment, fear, writing and journaling, and what it means to build a life of meaning rather than just achievement. It is an honest, reflective conversation about identity, purpose, and the lessons the mountains quietly teach if you are willing to listen.Follow Barry:Instagram - @blanchard_barry-Contact Me: www.plantoendure.comInstagram: @plan.to.endure Hosted on Acast.
