Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we sit down with elite rock climber and founder of Athena Rock Climbing, Kelly Turner, who takes us through her grueling 42-day expedition in the Canadian Arctic, where she led an all-female team to establish one of the hardest climbing routes in the world. Beyond the physical summit, Kelly shares how the outdoors became a sanctuary for processing profound personal loss, including the death of her mother and her recent experience with two miscarriages.   Kelly dives deep into the mental strategies that allow her to thrive in high-stakes environments, explaining how rock climbing serves as a superpower for handling life's unknowns. We discuss the importance of sitting with fear rather than fleeing from it, navigating a male-dominated sport, the power of self-awareness, and recognizing your true worth.  Resources from this episode can be found at: https://www.fuelwitherin.com/podcast/v/episode-24-42-days-in-the-arctic-and-the-power-of-seeking-discomfort-with-kelly-turner [https://www.fuelwitherin.com/podcast/v/episode-24-42-days-in-the-arctic-and-the-power-of-seeking-discomfort-with-kelly-turner]  CONNECT WITH KELLY: Instagram | @athenarockclimbing [https://www.instagram.com/athenarockclimbing/] Website | Athena Rock Climbing [https://www.athenarockclimbing.com/about-us] FUEL YOUR PERFORMANCE Momentous is my go-to for high-quality, science-backed supplements → Offer: Use code FuelWithErin for 14% off one-time purchase and 35% off first-time subscriptions Shop here: https://crrnt.app/MOME/1KeXpK4v [https://crrnt.app/MOME/1KeXpK4v]  LETS CONNECT: Instagram | @fuel.with.erin [https://www.instagram.com/fuel.with.erin/] Youtube | @FindYourFuel [https://www.youtube.com/@FindYourFuel] Spotify | Apple Podcasts  [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-your-fuel/id1847183868] Submit a Story | https://fuelwitherin.com [https://fuelwitherin.com] ========== Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast and its show notes is for informational and educational purposes only.

Tools for Mental Health, Anxiety and Grief with Dr. Tash

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] What happens when a psychologist who specializes in helping families through with mental health suddenly finds herself on the other side of the table? In this episode, Dr. Natasha Poulopoulos (known as Dr. Tash) shares her deeply personal journey of losing her father to glioblastoma. We dive into the eerie quiet that follows a medical battle, anticipatory grief, and the science of the grieving brain.   We also tackle the vast world of mental health and regulation. Dr. Tash explains why thoughts aren’t facts and how we can use cognitive diffusion to separate our identity from our anxious feelings. We discuss the critical difference between having a hard moment and having a clinical disorder, highlighting the power of behavioral activation—like movement and greenery—to shift our physiology and help us move through emotions in as little as 90 seconds.
