Episode notes

This week, Ash is joined by Jenn Drummond, entrepreneur, world record-setting mountaineer, and author of Break Proof, for a powerful conversation on resilience, self-leadership, and living with bold intention.

After surviving a near-fatal car crash, Jenn experienced a profound wake-up call that led her to pursue a more meaningful life. What followed was an awe-inspiring journey: from climbing Mount Everest to becoming the first woman to complete the Seven Second Summits. Jenn and Ash dive into how life’s biggest challenges can become the catalyst for radical self-discovery and aligned action.

But the episode goes beyond mountaintops and world records. Jenn shares her practical tools for building unshakable resilience, from using gratitude as a grounding force, to setting intentional goals that align with your inner truth. She reveals how to stop living by default, how to lean into discomfort with courage, and why self-care is essential, even (and especially) in high-performance environments.

If you're ready to shift from surviving to thriving and embrace the power of personal choice, this conversation will leave you energized and deeply inspired.
