Beth Rodden has navigated incredibly difficult experiences through her life and climbing career. She has accomplished some of the hardest routes in the world, competed at elite levels, and survived a kidnapping in the far reaches of Kyrgyzstan.  Through all of these experiences Beth also battled a pervasive inner dialogue. One that was often cruel, and pushed her to seek the perfection that continually skips out of reach.  In part 2 of our chat with Beth she shares her thoughts on cultivating and celebrating a softer strength, how therapy and self work is a lifelong practice, and the positives of social media.  Huge thanks to our sponsors for supporting this episode and series 5 of the podcast Urban Climb and Climbing Anchors You can follow Beth on instagram @bethrodden Watch This is Beth Buy Beth's book 'A Light Through the Cracks' available on Audible, Kindle, and paperback bethrodden.com   Content Warning: infrequent strong language Disclaimer: Content, commentary, and opinions shared on the Mum's Gone Climbing podcast are for informational purposes only.
