Description
Hi, I’m Milo—host of The Five Minute Climb and founder of The Mountain of Yes. I’m so grateful you found your way here. I created this podcast as a space for you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself - one breath, one question, one yes at a time.
Each week, I’ll guide you through a few mindful minutes designed to help you shift your perspective, protect your energy, and walk a little more aligned with who you truly are. Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, setting boundaries, healing, growing, or just trying to catch your breath - this space is for you.
I believe that when we feel seen, safe, and supported, we begin to make the kind of choices that change everything. These episodes are short on time but deep in heart - because I know that sometimes, a few honest minutes can open something big.
New episodes drop every Monday. If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to follow, share, or leave a review- it helps others find their way to this mountain too.
Thank you for being here. It’s an honor to climb with you.

A new episode of The Five Minute Climb is out today. It’s called “What Did This Year Take From You?” As we move through the middle of December, I wanted to create space for a different kind of reflection, not about achievements or goals, but about the emotional cost of a year. About the energy, certainty, or versions of ourselves that may have quietly shifted or been left behind along the way. This episode is an invitation to look back with honesty and compassion, and to notice not just what...
A new episode of The Five Minute Climb is live today, and it’s one that feels especially relevant right now. It’s called “December: The Month We Give Everything Away — Except to Ourselves.” December has a way of speeding up. We show up for everyone, make time, hold space, organise, care, and give… and often forget to check in with ourselves at all. This episode is a short reflection on how easily we disappear into the needs of the month, and how important it is to offer ourselves even a fract...
Today’s new episode of The Five Minute Climb explores a question so many of us quietly wrestle with: How do you stay kind in a world that sometimes feels harsh, rushed, or overwhelming? Kindness is easy when life is soft. But the real work begins when the world moves fast, when people are stressed, when the energy around us feels sharp. This episode isn’t about being endlessly patient or endlessly giving; it’s about what real kindness looks like when boundaries, self-respect, and emotional ho...
This week’s episode of The Five-Minute Climb is one that sits close to the heart: How Do You Know When It’s Time to Let Go? Letting go isn’t always a dramatic moment. Most of the time, it begins quietly in the small heaviness we ignore, in the tension we can’t explain, in the feeling that something no longer fits the way it once did. This episode explores that tender in-between space: the time when you’re still holding on, but your heart is already whispering the truth. I talk about why we cl...
This week’s episode of The Five Minute Climb asks a question that so many of us quietly hold: Why is it so hard to slow down? Because it is, isn’t it? Even when our bodies crave rest, our minds race ahead, whispering that we should be doing more, moving faster, proving something. But slowing down isn’t losing momentum; it’s finding direction again. In this episode, I talk about what makes stillness so uncomfortable, and why rest isn’t the absence of progress; it’s the space where we remember ...
This week’s episode of The Five Minute Climb asks a question we’ve all felt at some point: How do you let go of negative emotions? Anger, sadness, guilt, and jealousy, the feelings we often label as bad or inconvenient, often carry the deepest lessons. But most of us were never really taught how to sit with them. We try to fix, hide, or outrun them instead. In this episode, I discuss what happens when we stop fighting our emotions and start listening to them; how to meet what’s real without j...
Today is my birthday, and instead of rushing past it, I wanted to stop and reflect on what it really means to reach another year. Not in milestones or numbers, but in the quiet ways life keeps reshaping us. This episode isn’t just about me, it’s about us. About what it means to still be here, to have made it through another cycle of change, love, lessons, and small miracles. It’s about slowing down long enough to say: I’m still climbing. I’m still becoming. I’m still here. Birthdays, I’ve lea...
