Episode Intro:
Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast. Happy Wednesday. I’m your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas and today’s guest is Megan Yingling from Colorado.
Meg came on my radar when I accidentally saw her post on Facebook. In that post, she described her experience with grieving, mental health and climbing. She mentioned that she was becoming a psychotherapist and wanted to help people who suffered similar trauma like she did before. At that moment I also recalled just seeing her name on the new SPI Provider list from an AMGA email. Bing! I wanted her on the show.
So here she is,
Meg (she/they) is a pre-licensed psychotherapist, AMGA certified Rock Guide, and SPI Provider based out of Estes Park, Colorado.
Throughout her two decades in the sport, Meg has learned that climbing and guiding can provide the highest highs but does not come without its challenges and barriers. Meg has dedicated her career to navigating the intersection between mental health and climbing and has a deep passion in helping others achieve their goals.
Meg loves climbing, running, and playful exploring in her home range of Rocky Mountain National Park.
It was a fun conversation and I learned a lot. Meg shared experiences that many of us can relate to and provided great insights on dealing with fear and grief. Hope you enjoyed this conversation just like I did.
