Have you ever noticed how that can affect your entire day? What would it look like if you could start your days feeling calm, grounded, energetic, and with focus on priorities?

The morning ritual is a foundation for your day that helps lock in those positive thoughts or can help put you in a more positive mindset to take on the day.

Adventures Across the 5 Mountains of Human Development: Physical | Mental | Emotional | Intuitional | Spiritual We are a married couple on a mission to live a life full of outdoor adventure, purpose, and passion through self-mastery and crucibles.  This is our story, and dream, to share our travels, to share our experiences in the hopes of inspiring others.  We have discovered that there is more to living than suffering and working your life away to support someone else's dream, and usually that fulfillment is found on the other side of pain, fear, and challenge.  Join us as we tell our story of overcoming, finding purpose, and letting the universe be our guide... Although neither of us was in a place we thought we could add more into our lives, our friendship that developed through our love of the outdoors was exactly what we needed to spark big changes.  We began challenging and supporting each other, found purpose in helping each other grow, and spent as much time as possible connecting outside, striving to make it through each week just to get back to the mountains, or drop the next line.

Adventures Across the 5 Mountains of Human Development: Physical | Mental | Emotional | Intuitional | Spiritual Are your words disempowering your world, or are they creating an empowered world formed with focus, clarity, consistency, and decisiveness?   All of our thoughts and beliefs are constructed using words. Over time, we shape these words into our defining stories, these stories come together to form our reality. The problem is that most of us are unaware of the power of our words and the ramifications they can have.   In this episode, we speak with Mark England of Procabulary, training to help reveal the power of your words and make them work for you.   “My mission is to help people create more powerful, more fulfilled lives using the power of better words and stories. Procabulary is the language of getting things done.” Mark England | Founder, Procabulary.   “Whether you think you can or you think you can't, your right.” - Henry Ford. From identity creation to a victim mentality, the words we use and the stories we tell ourselves will help us succeed or keep us stuck in our own limiting beliefs.   Mark England Tedx Talks

Adventures Across the 5 Mountains of Human Development: Physical | Mental | Emotional | Intuitional | Spiritual Episode 3 of the Fierce Planet Adventures Podcast, where we share our love for the outdoors, adventure, and self-mastery!  In this episode, we have Jay Middleton, cancer survivor, longtime athlete, and lover of all things outdoors to discuss keeping perspective, keeping it lite, redefining what's really important and how he now approaches each day.  Jay was diagnosed with neck and oral cancer at the end of 2019. His particular cancer was caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). In February 2020 he underwent a five-hour surgery for a bilateral neck dissection and then afterward endured six weeks of radiation treatment Monday through Friday. His last day of radiation treatment was on May 18th.  Jay has spent the last six months trying to bring a focus to the power of being outdoors and the positive impact it can have on not only those fighting cancer but everyone. The ability to get outside to hike and ride his bike during his cancer treatment kept Jay motivated and energized during some tough times.  You can follow along on his outdoor adventures and fundraising endeavors for cancer prevention and research at his Instagram account @BikesKillCancer.
