“The night is darkest before the dawn.” – Harvey Dent in the Dark Night

This episode is a solo round (just me 😃)! I get vulnerable about how I used mountains to develop myself to become more self aware and a better person through seeking forgiveness. Jealousy is a blinding fault and I was guilty of letting it control me at one point in my life. I let negativity into my inner workings and it began to show externally. I stepped away from a friendship with an ex-girlfriend to work on myself as a person and to develop myself to emit the positivity that I know I can. Sometimes you need to step away and help yourself before you can help others. I found that my worst moment woke me up and drove me to change my attitude and impact on others. This is an episode on how I used mountains to seek the clarity and passion to forgive and to grow into the happy and positive person that I am today.

In this episode, I talk about:

  1. The start and end of my college relationship and how I found closure.
  2. How mountains tie into personal development.
  3. The development and growth of my self awareness as a result of immersing in mountains.
