Anyssa Lucena is a rock climbing and hiking guide in New York. She is the owner and founder of Genuine Climbing and  the Confident Climbers Club.

In today’s episode of The Think Courageously Podcast, Anyssa and I explore the courage it took her to build the life of her dreams. 

Like many of us, Anyssa was on the trajectory for traditional success. She had the corporate gig, the nice home, the husband and three kids. But there was something missing. And she was open to finding out what it was. 

Anyssa had the strong belief that there was something more for her and that’s when she reignited her love affair with the great outdoors. Anyssa’s pivot was gradual. It was an unhappiness that was festering. In trusting the universe, she found her way back to her true self through nature.  

Anyssa has always loved the outdoors and fell instantly in love with climbing in 1995 during a kayaking trip in Maine that included a day of rock climbing.  She tapped back into this passion while redefining her pivot. She grew physically stronger and more curious about what it was about climbing that reignited her purpose. 

As the owner of Genuine Climbing, Anyssa now introduces the lessons of success, pivots and courage to other women through the outdoors and rock-climbing.  

Anyssa has climbed in New York, New Hampshire, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Canadian Rockies, Kentucky, California, and Chamonix.  She is also allured by the challenge of the alpine world and has summited peaks including the Eiger and the Matterhorn.  She is a firm believer that nature is the perfect way to learn.
