🚨 SPECIAL RELEASE 🚨 LAUREN HERE: Last September I created a limited release podcast that only went out to about 100 people. I got a lot of great feedback on it. I decided to re-release it during our break. There are four episodes and I'll be releasing them over the next four weeks! This is episode 3. This series is meant to be listened to IN ORDER. So go back to episode 1! ___________________________________________________________________________

In episode 3 we're highlighting the mental struggles of outdoor climbing. From failure to comparison to not freaking out and "yelling take" - if you fee like your brain is getting in your way instead of helping you along, this episode is for you. Stay tuned for episode 4, where I'll be teaching you my favorite climbing trip tactics!
