Description

In this episode, I explore the vital space between achievements—the emotional void that follows our greatest triumphs. Drawing from my Arctic expedition experiences, I discuss why this post-accomplishment crash isn't failure but a necessary part of growth. I share insights on navigating this empty period, emphasizing that avoiding life's peaks to escape the valleys leads to mere existence, not living. This episode offers practical advice for honoring the void while preparing for your next summit, encouraging listeners to embrace both the heights and depths of a fully-lived life.
