Ep 39 - How to Build a Stronger Mind (and climb mountains) – Caroline Leon

Caroline Leon is an Australian born health and fitness advocate, fitness professional, and the co-founder of A Life of Education. When Caroline broke her back four years ago, falling from an indoor climbing wall, she never thought she'd be able to walk again. Her life-threatening injuries included two shattered feet, a displaced and fragmented right pelvis that was disconnected from the left side of her body and a bust fracture to part of her spine. Her injuries were so severe that she wanted to give up, but after being confined to a wheelchair for six months, as well as undergoing 14 surgeries and 23 blood transfusions, she slowly regained her ability to walk and came up with a plan to get not only her strength back, but also her confidence to mark the end of her recovery. Caroline decided to set a new Guinness World Record to become the first person in the world to summit all of the highest points in the Middle East in the fastest possible time, a feat that had never been attempted by a woman alone. What a woman! I've wanted to talk to Caroline for the longest time. Her energy and attitude to life is so inspiring and I'm totally fascinated by her mindset, what gets her out of bed in the morning and how she faced down huge and tragic life events and emerged not only intact, but absolutely thriving. Aside from her incredible story of triumph over tragedy, Caroline and I discussed how to navigate life when it keeps throwing you curved ball and finding our purpose and meaning. Spoiler alert, you don't have to climb a mountain to do this, thankfully! We have everything inside of us that we need to succeed - we just need to believe it. It was a really wonderful conversation and I hope you enjoy it.
