Overcoming Life's Physical & Mental Challenges with Dog Musher Katherine Keith

Nobody is born with mental or physical grit. It’s something you develop over time, by facing challenging situations and making it through to the other side.

This week, dog musher and author Katherine Keith talks about overcoming grief and loss and the importance of grit. She’s successfully competed in both the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod, two of the most difficult long-distance dog races in the world.  

Both races saw Keith and her dog team venture 1,000 miles deep into the Alaskan and Canadian wilderness in the bitter cold of winter. The hardships on the trail pushed her past her breaking point, but also helped her build the mental strength to keep going, mile after mile, to the finish line.

What You’ll Learn:

• Remember to fully engage with life
• Fight your way back from a loss
• Develop mental grit to push through obstacles
• Spend time in nature to build health and happiness
• Look outside yourself for inspiration and motivation
