Alexandra Garcia's journey into the outdoors began in adulthood, after relocating from Puerto Rico to Virginia, USA. What started as a personal reconnection with nature quickly turned into a deep passion for endurance challenges that test both body and mind. Since climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2017 and completing the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim in 2018, Alex has pursued adventures that push her limits — including backpacking rugged trails in Puerto Rico and continuously seeking what she calls “difficult pursuits.” Now based in Western North Carolina near Pisgah National Forest, Alex is not only an outdoor athlete and writer but also a changemaker. She co-founded the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation to increase accessibility and gender equity in mountain sports, helping women and girls around the world reach new heights — literally. In 2025, Alex will travel to France to climb Mt. Blanc, and she's also training for a Fastest Known Time (FKT) attempt on a challenging trail route. Whether she's writing, running, or leading with purpose, Alexandra is passionate about personal growth, emotional resilience, and helping others find the courage to take on their own version of hard. *** Catch the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, dropping every Tuesday at 7 am UK time!

Unlocking Personal Growth: Insights from Michelle Gruening on Coaching, Success, and "Stop Doomscrolling"
We haven't chatted with anyone in Nepal for a couple of weeks, so we thought we'd go back there with Len Forkas, who is heading to Mt. Everest to cap bagging all of the Seven Summits – the tallest peaks on all seven continents. This achievement also brings him a step closer to completing the coveted Explorers' Grand Slam, which includes the Seven Summits and trekking the last degree of latitude to the North and South Poles. He began his quest in 2013 summitting Kilimanjaro after accomplishing endurance feats like biking the Race Across America. Len does all of this to support a charity he founded called Hopecam, which does amazing work connecting cancer-afflicted kids to their schools and classmates. It was spurred after his own son Matt was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 9, and aside from the daunting treatments, Matt endured the challenge of isolation from his friends. Back in 2002, there was no Facetime or Skype, so Len arranged for a video connection between Matt and his class, and Len noticed what a sea change that was for Matt's overall outlook, as well as how much it benefitted his classmates to interact with him and help demystify cancer to them. This led to the birth of Hopecam, which began connecting 50 hospitalized kids and led to partnering with St. Jude's Children's Hospital and eventually affiliating with 180 hospitals and helping 1000 inspiring kids at a time. A majority of these kids come from Title 1 schools and whose families often can't afford Internet service. Len has a personal connection with many of these kids, and for this Everest project, he is paired up with a fifth-grader in Louisiana. In this chat, Len talks about how teamwork plays roles in accomplishing both his projects as well as in Hopecam's important mission for which he is aiming to raise $1,000,000. You'll also hear about his many other extreme adventures and the preparations for them and about a couple of harrowing episodes he had where divine intervention may have saved his life so he could continue his mission. Len is one of the nicest people with whom I've had the pleasure to chat, and this riveting episode is filled with so many great life lessons about humility, teamwork, finding purpose, and listening to and learning from others. He also shares great lessons he's learned about uniting people to work toward common goals in his book, What Spins the Wheel.

Think about your favourite foods… the dishes you eat to make you happy. Are they traditional African foods - like vegetables, fresh fruits, roots, tubers, nuts, beans, and staple whole grains? Foods like Pap, Fufu or Ugali? Or are you thinking about a burger or deep fried chicken and chips from your favourite fast food shop? A new small-scale study found that when participants switched from a western diet to the traditional Kilimanjaro diet, their health markers improved in as little as two weeks. The researchers say they believe traditional foods from throughout the continent could have a similar impact.So could the ‘African Heritage Diet' be the new Mediterranean diet which helps us all get healthier?Today on the podcast, Mpho Lakaje speaks with the team from Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College which conducted the research: Dr Godfrey Temba, an expert in nutrition, and members of his research team, Dr. Mary Mosha and Dr Vesla Kullaya.
Ever had a bold idea or dream and immediately heard, “Are you sure that's a good idea?” or “What if it doesn't work?” Cue the naysayers.

Send us a textGhost stories unite us when everything else divides us. Jeff Belanger—author, podcaster, storyteller, and paranormal researcher—takes us on a journey from the haunted catacombs of Paris to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, revealing how our fascination with the unexplained transcends political, religious, and cultural boundaries.Belanger shares the moment he transitioned from objective ghost researcher to believer while exploring the Paris catacombs alone. Walking through narrow hallways lined with millions of human remains, he encountered what appeared to be a shadow figure crossing his path—an experience that defied rational explanation after six years of writing about others' ghost encounters.The conversation takes an unexpected turn as Belanger recounts his deeply spiritual experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to honor his brother-in-law who passed away from cancer. At 19,341 feet, disconnected from technology and watching the sunrise above the clouds, he experienced a profound connection that transcended death itself—a moment so significant it became his only tattoo.What makes this episode particularly thought-provoking is Belanger's philosophy on why ghost stories matter. "Ghosts exist because we, the living, have unfinished business," he explains. These stories represent our collective struggle to reconcile with history's tragedies, injustices, and unsolved mysteries. By acknowledging these hauntings, we might avoid repeating past mistakes.As digital media increasingly controls what information reaches us, Belanger discusses his return to print with Shadow Zine, a monthly paranormal magazine that can't be algorithmically suppressed or edited after publication. It represents a tangible connection to storytelling that doesn't require batteries, internet access, or corporate approval.Whether you're a dedicated paranormal enthusiast or simply curious about the human connection to the unexplained, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on why we continue to be fascinated by what lies beyond our understanding. As Belanger suggests, perhaps a ghost story really could save us all.https://jeffbelanger.comhttps://shadowzine.comSupport the showFind us at: gxparanormal.com Watch On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@generationxparanormal Listen: • Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/generation-x-paranormal/id1661845577?i=1000666351352 • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6zQmLQ0F78h8KRuVylps2v?si=79af02a218444d1f Follow us on Social Media: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GenXParanormal • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/generationxparanormal/ • Twitter (X): https://x.com/GXParanormal

This episode covers sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised. Please prioritize your well-being while listening.What would you do if you had more courage? This question sits at the heart of our illuminating conversation with Dr. Margie Warrell, global thought leader on brave leadership and author of "The Courage Gap." The courage gap affects us all, but particularly women. We explore how imposter syndrome manifests as underestimating our abilities while overestimating dangers. As Margie powerfully states, "We shouldn't be trying to prove our worth. We need to just own our worth." This simple shift in perspective can liberate us to pursue meaningful goals with confidence rather than doubt.Through vulnerable personal stories, including surviving an armed robbery, Margie demonstrates her transformative "Three Ps" approach to reframing difficult situations. By choosing narratives that make us feel more Powerful, Positive, and Purposeful, we can create generative stories that shape our future rather than keeping us stuck. "You create your stories. But your stories then create you," she explains, offering practical wisdom for catching and redirecting unhelpful narratives. By giving ourselves permission to be imperfect, whether as parents, professionals, or creators—we open doors to experiences and growth we might otherwise miss.What pivot might be revealing your path today? Listen in and discover how embracing courage in the face of uncertainty can transform your life's journey.Guest Bio:Dr. Margie Warrell is a globally recognized expert in leadership and human behavior, renowned for her ability to help leaders and organizations unlock untapped potential by countering the underlying dynamics that inhibit bold thinking, decisive action, and transformative growth.A passionate advocate for advancing women in leadership, Margie has contributed to government roundtables, spearheaded initiatives to elevate more women to decision-making roles, and co-led Korn Ferry's Power of All program during her tenure as a Senior Partner in their CEO & Enterprise Leadership Institute.Margie's latest book, The Courage Gap (Jan ‘25), distills her decades of research and experience, providing a roadmap for closing the gap between potential and performance. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Margie balances her professional endeavors with her love of adventure. A lifelong hiker and aspiring barista, she finds inspiration scaling mountains, including summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro with her husband and four children.Connect with Margie:Website, LinkedIn Connect with Theresa and Ivana:Theresa, True Strategy Consultants: tsc-consultants.com LinkedIn @treeconti, Insta @tscconsultants Ivana, Courageous Being: courageousbeing.com LinkedIn @ivipol, Insta @courbeingSITP team, Step Into The Pivot: stepintothepivot.com LinkedIn @step-into-the-pivot, YouTube @StepIntoThePivot
