Ever felt like you were standing at the edge of something, just waiting to leap? That's me-trying to figure out what comes next as I take on Cascade Mountain. Sure, I signed up for this ski training program to find my footing again, but nobody warned me that falling could be just as exhilarating as flying. Between navigating slopes that test every ounce of courage I have and learning the fine art of getting back up (both on skis and in life), I'm slowly finding my way. Then there's Theo-the ski instructor whose smile has me slipping and sliding in more ways than one. How do you focus on mastering the snowplow when your heart is racing for all the wrong reasons? And what do you do when the mountain isn't the only thing daring you to let go? Join me for a ride that's equal parts breathtaking descents and unexpected thrills-because sometimes, the only way to rise is by embracing the fall.
