Have you been asking yourself; “Why do I feel like this?” The anxiety, the exhaustion, the heaviness you can’t explain—all of it leaves you searching for answers you’re not even sure how to articulate. You want relief, guidance, and a way forward, but you don’t yet have the right questions, let alone the solutions. I know that place intimately, because I’m not speaking from the top of the mountain looking back. I’m Wendy Parrish, and I’m still in the middle of my story. From here—right in the thick of the confusion, healing, setbacks, and growth—I’ve learned how to name what’s happening, navigate the messiness, and build tools that actually help. And I want to bring you into that process, not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone walking it with you.

In this episode I compare summit night on Mt. Kilimanjaro with my experience with mental health. I talked about how the things that helped me on that dark cold night are the same things that I used to help me with mental health.
