Episode Synopsis

*Warning* ⚠️ Readers may find the description distressingFeed your soul with Spiritual AdventureIn this episode, I talked to an adventure designer and certified tour guide from Duruimity, Costa Rica, Mari Jiménez. Mari and I discussed various topics about how she has journeyed to the point of today. Mari realised she wanted to be in nature while studying at University. We went into detail about how she made a breakthrough when she was selected to design the adventure path for the Channel 4 documentary in the U.K., 'Walking the Americas' with Levison Wood. This subsequently led to being appointed to guide Simon Reeve for his show on the BBC, 'The Americas with Simon Reeve.' Then being cast in a French documentary by Cyril Dion, 'Animal.' Mari talked to me in great detail about how this was overwhelming and how it affected her mental state. We explore why this was the case, as she stated she didn't feel worthy of the recognition. We also discussed a significant moment in her life at 28, when she was bit by a snake and died for a moment. Thankfully, Mari revived to tell me the tale of what happened and subsequently why this was a blessing for her to begin a new chapter in her life, which involved starting Tribu de Mujeres.   Three other talking points which also played a big part in Mari's life, which she told me, are being bullied by her professor when studying for her guide badge. Reasons she fell into depression and had suicidal thoughts. Finally, she was over the moon about being pregnant but had a miscarriage. From all these discussion points, Mari tells me where her state of mind is today. Mari tells me about what's ahead for her and her successful business. Fascinating discussion, well worth a bag of popcorn to go with it.  You can also watch the episode on my YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/g9NVoDtHQxk).
