Think you have to climb your mountain alone? Think again.
From Hawaiian hānai mothers to ultramarathon coaches, Wendy shares the real stories behind her most pivotal Sherpas—the people who showed up when the summit felt too far.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How a “dream trip” to Hawai‘i turned into a decade of becoming
- What happened at mile 22 of her 50k race (and the unexpected pacer who helped her rise)
- Why the Grand Teton summit had to wait—and what that moment taught her about trust, timing, and surrender
This one is for the dreamers, the doers, and the ones still climbing.
Hit play if you’re ready to stop doing it all alone—and start honoring the guides who walk beside you.
