Episode 17: Facing Financial Uncertainty

Society encourages us to look at things in black and white but, when our finances are uncertain, this mentality can hinder our ability to see a new path forward.

If you are dealing with financial uncertainty, as many of us are during this pandemic, this challenge is for you.

The Sherpas of Nepal spend their days guiding eager, daring travelers up the treacherous paths of Mount Everest. What they witness in a month is likely more terrifying than what most of us have experienced in a lifetime. And yet, they continue guiding thousands of visitors per year. I admire these Sherpas because they embrace the uncertainty that the Himalayas hold as part of their life and their livelihood. When it comes to facing financial uncertainty in our own lives, we can take a lesson from the Sherpas.
