A quote from this episode:
“We tend to think that gosh, the summit is the goal, but actually it’s the journey: what happens to you along the way – that’s the goal. If you’ve ever talked to anyone who’s launched a book… it is so ordinary. You launch the book and then one hour later it’s like okay, I need to go do the laundry and then get dinner ready and then go pick up the kids. There’s nothing that happens or changes in that moment.” – Krista Gilbert
