Today’s interview is another installment in my goal here at One Strong Southern Girl to share with the world the women who are doing incredible things in their lives that inspire others to stay physically fit and take action to fulfill their most challenging dreams.

If you’ve been thinking about signing up for a big event–like a 5K, half marathon, full marathon, Tough Mudder or Ironman but have been second-guessing whether you have what it takes to train and follow through with it then you’re going to want to listen in on my latest podcast interview with Jenn Drummond.

Jenn has set out to accomplish what no woman has done before–climb the 7 second summits of the world–the 2nd highest peaks on every continent (which will put her in the Guiness Book of World Records!)

In the interview we chat about:

• How she’s balancing the role of mom to 7 kids while training for this massive feat!

• How a scary moment in her life helped her decide to not put off her own dreams until after her kids were grown and instead decided to go after her dreams in parallel with her goal of being a great mom

• Her powerful advice to moms who might be sacrificing their self care and physical health because they feel guilty about putting their own needs before their kids

• How she encourages her kids to stay active

• What made her want to take on this incredible challenge

• The interesting logistics of being an elite mountain climber and how she prepares for a climb

• Her advice for women about self-discipline and exercise

• The meaning behind the ‘Bold Brave Beautiful’ tagline of her Instagram and website
