<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="151" data-end="362">Narcissistic abuse rarely begins with an obvious warning.

Lessons from a Life on the Wall: Craig Richards on Survival and Authenticity | EP015
<p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href= "https://www.craigrichard.com/" target="_blank">Craig Richards</a> has spent his life on the wall.</p> <p>A climber, speaker, and international musician, Craig grew up in Colorado with rock climbing woven into his family story. At eight years old, he climbed Devil's Tower, the youngest ever to do so at the time. Years later, while training for El Capitan, he fell in the Black Canyon, shattered his leg, and had to help rescue himself from deep in the canyon with no cell service, no easy exit, and miles still to go.</p> <p>In this conversation, Craig and Kyle talk about the lessons that come from a life shaped by risk, nature, music, pain, and presence. Craig shares what climbing taught him about fear, commitment, doubt, and taking the next action when the way forward feels impossible.</p> <p>They also explore authenticity, grief, spirituality, performance, healing, and the difference between trying to fix someone's pain and simply standing beside them.</p> <p>This is a conversation about survival, but even more than that, it is about learning how to stay open, keep moving, and become more fully yourself.</p> <p>Find Craig at the sites below:</p> <p>Personal Page -- <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href= "https://www.craigrichard.com/" target= "_blank">https://www.craigrichard.com/</a></p> <p>Instagram -- <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href= "https://www.instagram.com/craigrichardlive/" target= "_blank">https://www.instagram.com/craigrichardlive/</a></p> <p>Topics include: rock climbing, Black Canyon, El Capitan, survival, fear, commitment, authenticity, grief, healing, music, spirituality, nature, and taking the next step.</p>
