Episode 10: Make Adversity Your Friend.
We all deal with varying levels of adversity within our daily lives but stepping into the wild can easily place bigger and badder obstacles in front of us. There’s a physical and mental resilience that we develop as we move through nature and interact with the outdoors. That’s the sort of adversity we discuss in this episode and that’s what makes us a better version of ourselves by the time our next adventure comes about.
