In this episode, I sit down with Tia Banks, a former professional athlete turned mountaineer, resilience expert, and motivational speaker. Tia’s journey is one of resilience, self-discovery, and mental toughness, and in our conversation, she shares how learning to manage setbacks helped her transition into a new passion. 

From growing up in Nebraska to inspiring thousands through her speaking tour, her story is proof that adversity can be a stepping stone to something greater.  Tia explains that a "setback is the setup."


Key Takeaways:

  • The power of self-talk – What we tell ourselves matters in the hardest moments.
  • Resilience is built, not given – Hardship creates opportunities for personal growth.
  • The outdoors is transformative – Mountains provide a unique space for reflection and challenge.
  • Community is essential – Finding support in the hardest moments can make all the difference.
