The Extraordinary Adventures of Jenn Drummond | Guiding You Forward

If you’re looking for some motivation, this episode of Mountain America Credit Union’s Guiding You Forward podcast should be on repeat. We are excited to be talking with Jenn Drummond—entrepreneur, mom of seven, mountaineer and, most recently, world record holder.

Jenn has been on the quest to become the first woman to successfully conquer the Seven Second Summits—the second-tallest mountains on all seven continents—and, last month, she accomplished just that.

In this episode, we’re discussing:

• How a horrific car accident started Jenn on the path to this amazing goal.
• What “doing hard things” means to Jenn and her family.
• Why Jenn’s gratitude practice includes both a “red light” and a “grump dump.”

Coming up with a goal you want to achieve is one thing, but coming up with the steps to get there is something quite different. It can be even more meaningful when it stems from something traumatic. Jenn talks about why she started climbing and the car accident that put her on the path to greatness.

Jenn minces no words when she talks about doing hard things. As a matter of fact, it’s become somewhat of a mantra for her and her family. Learn more about why she believes in the power of doing hard things and how that statement has helped her achieve phenomenal goals. Here’s a hint: it all starts with her son challenging her to climb Everest!

We’ve all heard how important gratitude can be. But, as Jenn reminds us, gratitude doesn’t have to take the form of a journal or list if you don’t want it to. She explains her “red light” method, her “grump dump” and how they’ve helped her stay motivated and deal with fertility issues.
