Ditch the Excuses and Do Yourself a (Rock) Solid
Anyssa Lucena, Genuine Climbing
My guest today, Anyssa Lucena of Genuine Climbing, is a FIRE BALL!
Anyssa’s story starts out as a familiar one - high achiever spends decades checking off all the boxes of what she’s been taught is a ‘good life’, just to wake up one day wondering who she’s become and how the heck she got there.
But unlike a lot of folks who then spend decades more using life as an excuse not to have one, Anyssa started taking small actions, and tried to flame up a little flicker of interest she’d had in climbing, way back when.
I am so thrilled to introduce Anyssa to you today, because it doesn’t matter whether you’re interested in climbing or not, you’ll definitely get fired up just listening to her. Whether you’ve been stalled by mom guilt, mindset, or needing to meet an adventure partner, Anyssa’s story will tweak your narrative and give you some new ideas for small but meaningful actions you can take today.
I freaking love Anyssa, and I’m craving more of her energy and encouragement already - so even though I’ve probably climbed all of five times in my entire life, I’ll definitely be joining her Confident Climber’s Challenge. I am always in need of a kick in the pants to motivate me, I’m woefully in need of some mindset work, and -- bonus --maybe I’ll even get inspired enough to join one of the ladies’ nights at my local climbing gym, and really build some skills.
It’s not too late for you to join me for the Confident Climber’s Challenge -- $21 for 21 days, what have you got to lose?!?
AND -- if you’re local enough to the Gunks, you can sign up for guiding and coaching with Anyssa through the Genuine Climbing website. But if you aren’t driveable to upstate New York, I’d still recommend you take a look, she’s got tons of online options for learning and coaching, and free resources for budding and experienced climbers alike. And while you’re online, come visit me here, here or here and drop me a line, let me know what’s been inspiring you lately!
