New York's # 1 book influencer, author, DAILY podcaster, and publisher, Zibby Owens, is here! Joining her is Peruvian mountaineer, humanitarian, and social entrepreneur, Silvia Vasquez-Lavado, the first openly gay woman to climb Everest and all seven summits (who happens to be one of Zibby's favorite writers). Welcome to another literary love-fest!Hello! With only seven days until pub day for my Beautiful Writers book, I couldn't help myself. I had to record a podcast with these fantastic authors and miraculous human beings. Why now? Because I couldn't get their missions or memoirs out of my mind. Zibby's Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature and Silvia's In the Shadow of the Mountain: A Memoir of Courage (Selena Gomez will soon play in the movie) stole my focus and my heart.Sometimes the best thing to do when you're busy is dive into a great book—or TWO! I'm so excited to share this episode of the Beautiful Writers Podcast with you, where we get honest about the magic and mayhem of taking our work and manifestations to new heights. From overcoming extreme shyness, abuse, loss, and addiction and channeling our pain into healing words (and, in Silvia's case, trekking to help victims of sexual violence find a sense of peace and closure), you could say we're women on a mission. One of surpassing our limitations, living large, and changing the world—one step, one reader, one beautiful book at a time. We're so happy you're here. Write on! ✍️ xo

Silvia Vasquez-Lavado summited Mt. Everest in 2016, and was the first Peruvian woman to do so. Her trip up the world's tallest mountain was part of an incredible journey toward healing - from sexual abuse when she was a child and from alcoholism as an adult. Her book, In the Shadow of the Mountain, tells the story of her childhood in Peru, her immigration to America, and her climb up Mt. Everest. Connect with Silvia Vasquez-Lavado: WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterCourageous GirlsEpisode sponsor: SonosListen to: Tooth and Claw podcastArtwork photo credit: Emily Assiran

"At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how old we are, we still all have that little child inside of us." Silvia Vasquez-Lavado, global explorer, activist, and founder of the non-profit Courageous Girls, joins Zibby to talk about her debut memoir, In the Shadow of the Mountain, which was recently optioned for film by Selena Gomez. The two discuss how Silvia got to a place where she could be so open about her experience with childhood sexual violence, as well as why she wants to break the stigma for others who have endured similar traumas. Silvia also shares what she plans to do on tour in her home country of Peru once the book is translated into Spanish.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3nFoIXHBookshop: https://bit.ly/3RaFMCmSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.

Silvia Vasquez-Lavado is the first Peruvian woman to climb Mount Everest, but what makes her really impressive are the mountains she had to scale in her real life. From surviving sexual abuse at a young age to overcoming acoholism to getting into a near-death bike accident to finding out she has a brain tumor, Silvia is the personification of resilience. She teaches us today the one thing that allowed her to heal old wounds + how we can overcome the fear that drives our lives, practice self-compassion, and re-trust ourselves again. Silvia also shares the one thing that helped her curb alcoholism and the piece of advice that comforted her after the sudden death of her partner.  If you feel like you have hit rock bottom, Silvia's story and lessons will help you begin your journey climbing out of those valleys.  RESOURCES The Cultivating Self-Compassion course: Her book “In The Shadow of the Mountain: A Memoir of Courage” is out now

Silvia Vasquez-Lavado climbs mountains. In fact, she is one of the few women in the world to complete the Seven Summits, ascending the highest peak on each continent. In this episode, Silvia and Annmarie talk about the healing power of mountain climbing and how women can work through trauma by putting one foot in front of the other and hiking far above the clouds.

There aren't many people in the world who can say they haven't faced some kind of trauma or tragedy in life. And while it's not a competition – there are some whose paths are decidedly more rocky than others. People choose to handle that in different ways. Not all of them decide to climb Mount Everest. Silvia Vasquez-Lavado is an explorer, mountaineer, author, survivor and activist. Perhaps even in that order. Her recently published book: “In the Shadow of the Mountain: A Memoir of Courage” weaves a tale of courage, addiction, abuse and triumph. Growing up in Peru, Silvia experienced traumatic events that would fuel her life – in some not altogether positive ways. Circumstances led her to begin mountaineering, a journey that also led to her diving deeply into activism supporting young women. In this journey of healing others, Silvia also healed herself and in this podcast, she shares about this experience, the drivers behind why she does what she does and notes that the absence of deep relationships with pets during traumatic years was a perfect mirror for the problems in the world that she now courageously endeavors to address. What does leadership actually mean in today's world? Good questions, right? That's what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it's why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we'll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they've learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world. #IntheShadowoftheMountain #SilviaVasquezLavado #Mountaineer #Explorer #Survivor #Activism #MtEverest #leadership #TalkUnleashed #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

Your past does not define your present, and it certainly does not define your future. Today's guest is living proof of that. Silvia Vasquez-Lavado is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. She ultimately overcame her demons through mountaineering, and is the first openly gay woman to climb the Seven Summits. Her determination to overcome her trauma saw her first try to run away from it, before seeking solace in alcohol, becoming a functioning alcoholic:“And that's something that I've candidly shared in the book, that journey of how we fool ourselves, how we can pretend to appear something else.”Her mother persuaded her to take part in an ayahuasca retreat in Peru, and as she was high, she recalls her inner child grabbing her hand and pulling her into the mountains. “That was the most magical vision that I had from this powerful session of ayahuasca, which is what has led me to this incredible journey.”Without knowing what or how she was going to do it, she headed to the Himalayas to get to base camp on Mount Everest. “Instead of being afraid, there was this powerful reconnection, there was this sense of safety and security that I had never felt from any other human.”Sylvia's incredibly moving story demonstrates how resilient we truly are. So, if you're looking for a focus, for a purpose, let Sylvia's story inspire and encourage you. On today's podcast: Surviving sexual abuse The transformative power of psychedelics for trauma Finding courage through mountaineering Her foundation - Courageous Girls Links:https://www.silviavasla.com/

Growing up in Lima, Peru, life wasn't always easy for Silvia Vasquez Lavado. In fact, it was incredibly challenging and quite chaotic at times. Turbulent political groups and governmental change made it difficult for any consistency to develop. The environment was constantly changing and often unsafe.  Recently, on our Explorers podcast, our host Richard Wiese had an opportunity to sit in with Silvia and hear about her experiences as the first openly gay woman to climb the seven summits successfully.   At the age of eighteen, Silvia came to the United States on a college scholarship for academics. She moved from turbulent Peru to the Amish Country in Pennsylvania. Needless to say, there was a period of adapting to go through.   Although she comes from a tough background, Silvia comes across as open and friendly. She says that instead of imposing her beliefs on others, her philosophy is about respecting where she is and learning about other cultures.  She's written a book, In the Shadow of the Mountain, which comes out in Winter 2022. It's already in development as a movie, with Selena Gomez playing the role of Silvia.   Silvia reminds us that affecting change is often complicated. It's a case of finding out about local changemakers and local grassroots organizations that support your causes. It's important to her that she provides a platform that allows people to express themselves. Her nonprofit organization, Courageous Girls, helps victims of sexual violence in their recovery.  When asked about challenges as a gay woman, she reminds us that sometimes being a woman is scary enough. There are, however, many parts of the world where being gay is dangerous, and it's tough to impose western culture on the rest of the world.

There are lots of people here to help, support, and protect you.”  To learn more about explorer Silvia Vasquez Lavado and her observations as an extreme explorer, check here.
