Pike's Peak Tried to Kill Us (Rude.)

In this episode of Mental Health & Me, host Natalie Souders sits down with special guest Linsay Rundell to recount a "bucket list" hike up Pike's Peak that spiraled wildly out of control. What started as a scenic outdoor adventure quickly turned into a job of managing disappointment and reshaping expectations. No doubt there were some questionable decisions, unexpected panic, and a mountain with a serious attitude problem. Natalie and Linsay break down the moment things went sideways, how their mental health played a role in the chaos, and what they learned when the universe (and the altitude) decided to remind them of its power. Join us for laughter, honesty, and a surprisingly heartfelt reflection on fear, resilience, and the stories we tell when we finally make it back down the mountain.
