An uncomfortable presence… but an essential one.In this episode, recorded at the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival, we talk about fear, vulnerability, and social pressure… but also motherhood, body awareness, and what it really means to be courageous.About that tension between what we truly feel… and what we think we’re supposed to show. And about that often invisible path, learning not to fight fear, but to live with it.A conversation that questions our relationship to risk, to performance… and ultimately, to ourselves.Enjoy the episode ✨Books quoted in this episode : - Clouds from both sides, Julie TullisAbout Hazel Findlay🧗♀️ : - Her website- Her business Strong Mind- Her Instagram accounts : Hazel Findlay & Strong MindFollow our project 🏔️ :- On Instagram and Youtube - On our Website- On our Newsletter
