In this episode of RenewHer, Genell takes you on her 29029 Everesting journey at Whistler—a 36-hour challenge to climb the equivalent of Mount Everest through eight full ascents.

This isn’t just a story about a mountain. It’s about courage, determination, and discovering what you’re truly capable of. From early excitement to the “messy middle,” moments of doubt, and even panic in the dark, Genell shares the mental and emotional challenges that came with each step—and the tools, mindset, and support that helped her keep moving forward.

Along the way, she reflects on presence, resilience, and self-belief, and the surprising lessons that stayed with her long after the climb. Whether you’re facing a personal challenge, a career pivot, or simply looking to stretch yourself in new ways, this episode offers insight and inspiration for pushing past fear, doubt, and your own limits.

Join Genell and discover how taking on big challenges can reveal strength you didn’t know you had—and inspire confidence in yourself that lasts far beyond the summit.
