What if the biggest adventure of your life isn't standing on top of a mountain...
...but taking the first step toward something that scares you?
In this episode of the Empowering Women Podcast, Shannon sits down with international mountain leader, polar guide, photographer, and author Alexandra Nemeth—the first Hungarian to climb the highest mountain on every continent, including Mount Everest.
But this conversation isn't just about mountaineering.
It's about choosing courage when certainty would feel easier. It's about finding purpose through unexpected twists, embracing discomfort as a path to growth, and discovering that resilience is built one step at a time.
Together, Shannon and Alexandra explore the risks worth taking, the lessons hidden inside failure, the confidence that comes from doing hard things, and why adventure looks different for every one of us.
Whether your next climb is changing careers, chasing a dream, speaking up, or simply trying something new, this episode will remind you that growth rarely happens inside your comfort zone.
Because sometimes...
The greatest summit you'll ever reach is the one you choose to climb.

💬 Gems from Alexandra:
"I would rather adjust along the way than never know if it would have worked or not."
"Less about avoiding risk, but more about understanding what matters."
"Adventure is stepping slightly beyond what feels comfortable."
"I think people regret things they didn't do far more than the mistakes that they made along the way."
"If there is the spark, that curiosity, then listen to it."
