Episode 263: Through Me, As Me: Yvette on Kilimanjaro, Consciousness, and Finding Peace at 19,341 Ft

In this episode, Geo sits down with YGC co-founder Yvette Valdenegro to talk about the climb that changed everything. Yvette shares what it was really like to summit Mount Kilimanjaro's Lemosho Route, including the parts nobody warns you about: the exhaustion, the fear, and eventually an undiagnosed case of pulmonary edema she pushed through to reach the top. But this conversation isn't just about the mountain. Yvette walks Geo through the four levels of consciousness she moved through on the climb, and how that same framework shows up in the work we do with our clients every day. She talks about what it means to stop surviving and start actually living as yourself, not performing a version of yourself for everyone else. You'll hear about: What actually happens in your body and mind above 19,000 feet The moment Yvette had to ask for help and what that taught her about control The four levels of consciousness, explained simply Why perfect peace was never something to chase, it was already there [Exciting announcement — details TBD] If you've ever felt like you're climbing toward some version of peace that's always just out of reach, this episode is for you.
