Episode 39: ”Take me to Kelsee Church”, the intersection of mental health and climbing with licensed therapist, Kelsee Keitel

Like it or not, your mental health impacts your climbing in more ways than you know. From how you deal with failure, to the ways you compare yourself to others, to managing your motivation levels - keeping your mental health in check is foundational to living a fulfilling life (and climbing harder while you're at it).

In this episode, we sat down with licensed therapist and mega adventurer, Kelsee Keitel, to get some professional help with the mental health struggles often faced by climbing athletes. You don't want to miss this episode.
