In this episode of Resilient Wisdom, we explore the transformative power of the Three-Foot World—a mindset born from the world of climbing that teaches you to focus on what’s immediately within your control. Whether you’re navigating a personal crisis, leading under pressure, or pursuing a big goal, narrowing your focus to the next actionable step can bring clarity, stability, and momentum.
We’ll break down the origins of this concept, why it’s essential for building resilience, and how to apply it in your daily life. You’ll hear powerful stories of survival, from Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition to modern-day examples of leadership in chaos. Along the way, we’ll address the emotional landscape of fear, doubt, and overwhelm, and how the discipline of letting go frees you to thrive within your sphere of influence.
This episode is packed with practical strategies, reflective insights, and challenges to help you take control of your life, one step at a time. Ready to master your Three-Foot World and unlock a new level of focus and resilience? Let’s dive in.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
