When Sonnie Trotter first tried climbing at age 15, he knew he'd found the path he was meant to follow. Now, 30 years later, he's looking back on a life spent pushing himself and the sport, chasing adventures in wild places.         His new memoir, Uplifted, includes stories that span his climbing career, including his legendary first free ascent of the 5.14 trad testpiece Cobra Crack, climbs with friends Tommy Caldwell, Chris Sharma and Alex Honnold, and reflections on risk as a husband and father. One of the strongest and most positive climbers of our time, Sonnie manages to hold even his gnarliest experiences lightly and his writing offers hard-earned wisdom with the personal and friendly delivery of tales told around the campfire. Listen to an excerpt from Uplifted, read by Jack Schlinkert and written by Sonnie Trotter.This episode of Patagonia Stories was produced by Patagonia and Cosmic Standard.

As you look back over the past year or so, maybe you've faced trials like never before! It can leave us wondering, what's going on, or what is God up to! How is it possible to experience joy in the midst of it all? The book of James has some answers. God wants to produce perseverance, patience and even joy in us.

She wasn't lazy. She wasn't unmotivated. She was a high-achieving, deeply self-aware woman…...who couldn't stop “shoulding” herself. Work out harder. Eat better. Do more.And when she couldn't meet those impossible standards? Shame. Self-criticism. And the urge to fix herself even harder.But the truth is: This wasn't about discipline. It was a trauma response.

God gives us lots of great instruction and insights for how we should live our lives on a day to day basis but sometimes we need perspective. God does that better than anyone. James gives us examples of this everywhere and what we're discussing today on Light on the Hill is no exception. Prepare to be uplifted!

How Positive Leadership Transforms Workplace Culture and Elevates Customer Experience  Shep interviews Ryan Minton, Best-Selling Author and Keynote Speaker. He talks about his new book, Uplifted and shares insights from his experience in hospitality, including the impact of employee engagement, appreciation, and empowerment in creating uplifting work environments and better customer experiences.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What practical benefits come from creating an uplifting workplace culture?  How does a hospitality mindset improve customer service across different industries?  What impact does leadership have on employee morale and customer experience?  How does positive leadership help reduce staff turnover in customer-facing roles?  In what ways does an employee's mood affect customer interactions?  Top Takeaways:    The hospitality mentality is not just for hotels and restaurants. It is valuable in every industry because it sets the bar for the customer experience standard. It teaches every employee to always show care, gratitude, and kindness no matter what industry they work in.  A heartfelt "thanks for coming in today" can make a real difference in someone's mood and attitude. It is a simple yet powerful statement that leaders can say to make their employees know that they matter. When employees feel appreciated, they're more likely to enjoy coming to work and give their best. It creates a workplace where people want to come, stay, and grow.  Every employee becomes the face of your brand the moment they interact with your customers. When they are not happy at their jobs, customers feel it. High turnover and unhappiness can hurt customer satisfaction, so making sure that employees are engaged, equipped, and fulfilled helps create positive customer experiences.   Strict policies can sometimes get in the way of the human aspect of customer service. When employees are trusted to handle situations as they see fit, they feel empowered to do their jobs. Employees need to grow through training and be equipped with the right tools so that they can use policies as guidelines while exercising common sense to meet each customer's unique needs.   Happy employees lead to happy customers, and happy customers come back. Invest in people through appreciation, empowerment, and uplifting leadership.  Loyalty programs and perks can encourage repeat business, but truly memorable companies don't rely on them alone. Being helpful, friendly, and uplifting is the best loyalty program you can offer. When people feel good about you, they'll keep coming back, with or without loyalty programs.  Plus, Ryan shares the "balloon effect" and how it can elevate customer and employee experiences. Tune in!  Quote:   "Good old-fashioned customer service is just good old-fashioned hospitality. So many brands look to the hotel industry because it has become the standard for customer service."     About:    Ryan Minton is a Best-Selling Author and Keynote Speaker with over 20 years of experience leading world-class hospitality brands. He is the author of Thanks for Coming in Today: Creating a Culture Where Employees Thrive & Customer Service is Alive. His upcoming book Uplifted! The Remarkable Power of Positive Leadership on Frontline Teams launches June 10th.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

We've talked about what the eight limbs of yoga are and where they came from (if you missed that episode just scroll a few back) but what is each limb's practical, energetic, and spiritual significance in modern life? From the ethical and personal observances of Yama and Niyama, respectively, to the physical aspects of Asana, the breath control of Pranayama, and the mental focus of Dharana. And of course how it all culminates in the exploration of Dhyana and Samadhi. The Eight Limbs are here to help you cut through the noise and come back to what really matters, this episode will explain how. Listen and learn:

✨ This episode is for anyone who's been putting in the work, quietly evolving, and ready to meet themselves more deeply. The Magic in Number 77 – Trusting the Journey, Embracing Change, and Celebrating the Milestones In this episode of Real and Uplifted, we celebrate a powerful milestone — Episode 77 — by diving deep into what it means to stay the course when results aren't immediate, and how to embrace change as part of a meaningful journey. Whether you're on a health and wellness journey, an entrepreneur, or just focused on becoming your best self every day, this episode is your reminder that the path isn't always linear — and that's where the magic lives. From honoring the evolution to recognizing the power of small wins, we explore the beauty of trust, alignment, and devotion.

Sonnie Trotter is a world-renowned rock climber, father, husband, writer, and the author of the new book "Uplifted: The Evolution of a Climbing Life." For the past three decades, Sonnie has built a career as one of the most accomplished climbers of his generation— pushing standards, putting up first ascents, and bringing a sense of creativity, humility, and grit to every project he tackles. His new book is part memoir, part meditation on movement and meaning, and it's one of the most thoughtful and grounded climbing books I've read in a long time. In this wide-ranging conversation, Sonnie and I talk about the unexpected ways writing has shaped his life, how his approach to climbing has evolved over the years, and what it's been like to move from living out of a van to raising a family in the mountains of Canada. We also discuss how he's stayed grounded throughout his career, his relationship with sponsors like Patagonia, and why gratitude— not rage or ego— has been the driving force behind his decades of commitment to climbing. Sonnie also opens up about how parenting has shifted his perspective on adventure, freedom, and ambition—and how he and his wife are raising their kids in a way that emphasizes curiosity, effort, and joy. Whether you're a climber, a writer, a parent, or just someone trying to live a meaningful life, there's a ton of wisdom in this one. Sonnie's new book "Uplifted" is out now, and I highly recommend picking up a copy—you'll find a link in the episode notes, along with links to everything else we discussed. Hope you enjoy both this conversation and the book.  Thanks for listening.  --- Sonnie Trotter Uplifted: The Evolution of a Climbing Life Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/sonnie-trotter/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 1:55 - Intro, how Sonnie got into writing 4:58 - Influences 8:30 - Why write this book now 12:40 - Stumbling into the climbing world 17:45 - Into the unknown 20:27 - Origins of drive 25:07 - Climbing's darkness 27:11 - The road to Patagonia 32:23 - Parent perspectives 36:54 - Becoming a parent 42:35 - Getting kids active (a jiu jitsu segway) 48:13 - Training, nutrition and getting older 52:47 - Race to 9A 56:31 - Book recs 59:29 - Final words of wisdom — get back to work --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts  

You know that feeling when you finish a strategy session or a call with a client and you're absolutely BUZZING? You feel energised. Uplifted. Lit up.  And you just know you've helped that client? THAT is the magic that occurs when you work with the RIGHT clients. The ones who value your work, take action, and bring out the ‘Genius Zone' in you. Today, I'm talking with marketing and messaging strategist Michelle Falzon (& my cohost of the Content Sells Podcast) about how you can attract the clients who are meant for you and your business – and how to STOP casting your net too wide. Here's What You'll Discover in This Episode:  -> How to speak directly to your ideal clients so they instantly feel like you're the one for them, even when everyone is vying for their attention. -> The REAL reason broad, generic messaging is never worth it – and how you can stand out of the crowd to bring in the right people. -> Why trying to be “all things to all people” is just diluting your value, keeping you stuck, and draining your time and energy. -> How to STOP worrying about ‘repelling' people when you narrow your focus, and why exclusivity is not a negative trait for your business (even if you feel “guilty”) -> The subtle ways your OFFER impacts who you're drawing in and who says YES to you – and why listing your product features is never enough -> What to do when you fear you're “leaving people behind” as you narrow your target audience, and why that's actually a sign you're on the right track. -> The ONE sign that your messaging is too broad, plus the shift that can help you hit the bullseye of clients. -> The invisible factors that are keeping your best-fit clients just out of your reach, and how to remove them from your business -> Why finding alignment in what you do and who you do it for, is the KEY to not only having a successful business… but a life you LOVE waking up to each day. -> And, get your invitation to Michelle and I's upcoming training for women who want to exclusively work with their IDEAL clients.

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're diving into something ancient, powerful, and deeply personal—connecting with the elements. Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit... these aren't just poetic ideas—they're living, breathing forces that can ground us, heal us, and remind us of who we are at our core.

Send us a textIn this deeply personal and powerful episode of Teaching History Her Way, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Amy Mai Tierney, to discuss her experience as one of the many children brought to the United States through Operation Babylift at the end of the Vietnam War. Amy Mai shares her story of growing up as a transracial adoptee, how she uses history to understand her identity, and the questions that still remain. We explore why it's essential for history teachers—and all educators—to acknowledge and understand the unique experiences of transracial adoptees in their classrooms.

She will talk to us natural ways to treat and prevent allergies and get into specific herbs, spices and superfoods that can all make a positive difference to support immunity and relieve symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and watery eyes.She travels the world as a frequent media show guest and healthy living consultant.

 We're Julietta and Graciela, and we're so excited to welcome you (or welcome you back) into Cacao Conversations—your weekly dose of heart-opening chats, served with a warm cup of cacao and a big side of realness. This podcast is our sacred (and sometimes silly) space to explore what it means to live authentically, love boldly, and laugh through the messy middle. We talk about the spiritual tools that support us, the lessons we've learned (and relearned), and all the divine breadcrumbs that have led us to where we are now. In this episode, we're reintroducing ourselves—because like you, we've grown, evolved, and shed some layers. We're sharing who we are, what lights us up, why we do what we do, and how this community is at the heart of it all. Whether you've been sipping cacao with us from the start or just found your way here, this episode is your official invitation to join the circle. Get cozy, press play, and let's reconnect. ✨ Your cup is ready. ✨ Your people are here. ✨ And your magic? We see it already. 

Welcome you to Cacao Conversations—where every week, we indulge in heart-opening chats over a comforting cup of cacao. Join our podcast for candid, often humorous explorations of life's profound questions. From our journey through transformation to chuckling at life's quirks, even pondering the weather (which seems to matter more these days, right?!?), you'll get an intimate view into our sometimes chaotic, deeply spiritual, always genuine lives. So, grab your favorite mug, fill it with cacao, and join us for some deep laughter. Cacao Conversations is all about empowering you to reconnect with your purpose and step into a life that truly reflects who you are. How do you align with your purpose? It's a question we've all wrestled with—perhaps in the stillness of a sleepless night or amidst a chaotic car ride (no judgment here!). In this episode, we dive into what purpose means, how it evolves over time, and the practices that anchor us to it—especially when life feels overwhelming. We'll discuss the things that knock us off balance, how to recognize when we're off-track, and the small yet potent rituals that guide us back to our true selves. This isn't about striving for perfection—it's about living authentically from the depths of our souls. So, pour yourself some cacao, take a deep breath, and join us as we explore staying grounded in your essence and fulfilling your unique path. Your cup is full, your journey awaits.

Integrating faith, she affirms, can further support this journey, providing strength and guidance in cultivating self-compassion. So today our guest, holistic health and positive lifestyle expert, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, will talk to us about the power of self-love — why you need to love yourself first, and how faith can help you. For a woman with three of America's most ordinary names, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, has made extraordinary contributions in the fields of holistic health, anti-aging, optimum nutrition and balanced living. For starters, she taught students, staff and faculty at UCLA how to be healthy and fit for 30 years! Susan is the founder and president of Health Unlimited, a Los Angeles-based consulting firm dedicated to optimal wellness and human potential. She travels the world as a frequent media show guest and healthy living consultant.
