While most of us just need to listen to "the whispers" to change the entire trajectory of our lives, Jenn Drummond needed a shock event. That moment came in the form of a devastating car accident that left her with a profound realization: life is too short to live small.

She began writing a bucket list, determined to make an impact and honor her gift of life. When her plans to climb Ama Dablam were derailed, Jenn's young son challenged her to climb Mount Everest instead - the ultimate test of human endurance.

Despite having no prior mountaineering experience and being a mother of seven, Jenn took on the challenge head-on. This was just the beginning of her journey to becoming the first woman in the world to climb all seven of the world's second-highest summits.

Jenn describes what it was like to tackle such an audacious goal with no prior experience while juggling the responsibilities of motherhood and a busy life. However, the true power of Jenn's story lies in the profound lessons she learned along the way. 

Discover why pursuing goals is less about the achievement itself and more about the person you become in the process.

If you've ever doubted your ability to achieve the impossible while juggling the responsibilities of life and parenthood, Jenn's story will inspire you to dream bigger and push beyond your perceived limits.
