Ep. 085: Travelling Across America by Postie Bike - Nathan Millward

As a neophyte horsewoman with a minimal command of the Spanish language, Nancy rode off across Patagonia, alone, on horseback. Over the next decade and three thousand miles of rugged horse trail, Patagonia’s wild country and the hardy pioneers who settled there took her in and changed her. The book "Riding Into the Heart of Patagonia" is the story of that journey. It is also the story of Patagonia, a spectacular wilderness and rich, self-sufficient culture on the brink of rapid change. Her book is now available.  Link below. www.nancypfeiffer.com www.ridingintotheheartofpatagonia.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Riding-Into-the-Heart-of-Patagonia-1700774059962723/ Order the book: Riding Into the Heart of Patagonia Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

So many of us deal with mental health issues but we can feel isolated in our struggle.  It's hard to talk about.  However, it's no secret that speaking to someone about it and getting outside can help tremendously. In this episode, Georgina Jackson opens up about her struggle with bipolar disorder and how climbing helps her figuratively and literally reach new heights. If mental health is something you may be struggling with, please seek help.  There's no shame in that!  MOST people will deal with it at some point in their lives. I hope you enjoy this open and honest discussion and hope it inspires you to continue adventuring wherever you are.
