Climbing is complicated. It’s physical, emotional, psychological, and depending on the person, tends to either quiet or amplify the things you have going on outside of climbing. Not to mention, the climbing community can come with it’s own bad habits that might feed your demons.

Emily Holland is a podcast coach and host of the incredible podcast Nature Untold. She tells stories of addiction and recovery in the outdoor community. Today we tell her story. A story of how sobriety helped her find her way back to climbing, and how a supportive community has made all the difference.

In this episode we discuss:

Why climbing was a toxic place for her.




What changed her mindset.




How’s she’s leaning in a little at a time.




The role that sobriety - and Nature Untold - played.




How a caring community can make the difference.
