Episode 41 — Emily Harrington on Climbing, Overcoming Fear, and Navigating Motherhood
Five time national sports climbing champion, and revered mountaineer, Emily Harrington talks with Chloe Aftel about how competitive climbing has shaped her perspective on life, the world, and her personal truths. Inseparable from her multiple titles that include the phrase, “first woman to,” Harrington discusses her journey in the sport, from starting as a young girl scaling man-made walls to finding herself in life or death moments atop the world’s highest peaks. Along with a superhero-like physicality, Harrington describes how important problem solving, risk-analysis, and intelligent decision making is for the successful climber, and how she has integrated these skills into her adult life. She speaks glowingly of the climbing community, spotlighting camaraderie, an appreciation for the natural world, and a zeal for exploration as key to the life of an adventurer. Unique to Harrington, and developed by a career of taking risks and conquering them, she shares her philosophy on fear, and how this philosophy has changed since starting her family. Through it all, Harrington’s awe-inspiring accomplishments combined with her belief in the value of facing challenges head-on will certainly leave a lasting impression on anyone hesitant to take their next seismic leap.<br /><br />Moments to look forward to in the episode: <br /><ul><li>Harrington shares the personal struggles she faced as a woman being in a weight to strength dependent sport and the perspective shift that helped her overcome them </li><li>She dives into the process of competitive climbing, emphasizing what fuels her passion for the sport while clarifying the difference between technical and dynamic climbing styles </li><li>She discusses how her priorities and relationship to high risk climbing has changed following having a child, and how she navigates being a mother and an adventurer</li></ul><br />Emily Harrington is an American professional rock climber and mountaineer born in Boulder, Colorado in 1986. As a youngster, Harrington was ripe with competitive drive, leading her to develop her skills as a climber at a young age. Finding competitive success in the sport, she started as a member of the USA Junior Climbing Team in 1998. At age 16, Harrington won her first of four USA Climbing Adult National Championship in sport climbing. In 2003, she began her studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she graduated with a degree in International Affairs with an emphasis on Sub-Saharan Africa. In between her studies, in 2005, Harrington placed second at the IFSC World Championships. Upon graduating in 2008, Harrington transitioned into professional outdoor climbing, where she has since cemented herself in the world of mountaineering, having achieved the first individual free climb of the American Way route on Pik Slesova in Kyrgyzstan, among other accomplishments. Now, Harrington lives in Tahoe with her husband Adrian Ballinger and their four year old child. She is currently working with <a href="https://zgirls.org/girlclimber" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zgirls</a> as a co-leader for a program that empowers middle school girls at the intersection of rock climbing and mental health. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.chloeaftel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chloe Aftel</a> has spent her career working in commercial photography, photojournalism, and film.

Episode 40 — Lucinda Williams on The Act of Creation, Success, and The Political Landscape
Three time Grammy award-winning singer songwriter, and creator of over a dozen acclaimed albums, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/60ht0hWRy1yjUDfNsLuHuP?si=vr9NUSCgTmSXqxVyQbNhMQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lucinda Williams</a> sits down with Chloe Aftel to chronicle her journey in music, from being emotionally taken by the folk music of the 1960s, to creating her most recent album,<i> <a href="https://www.lucindawilliams.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“World’s Gone Wrong,”</a></i> which responds directly to the current American political landscape. Shining through Williams’ anecdotes is an artistic integrity and self-honesty that has simultaneously created friction in her career, and pushed her to take her own gravel road to pioneer the Americana genre. From being inspired to write meaningful songs by Bob Dylan, to now performing with him on the world’s grandest stages, Williams meditates on how she maintains a healthy dynamic between her art, ego, and success. With passion, she makes it clear that politics and real life are never separate from her music, and makes a call for the necessity of civic engagement to counteract the growing trend towards apathy. It is this gusto and Williams’ buoyant spirit that reminds us that although there will never be a world without tears, we are all on Earth together. <br /><br />Highlights: <br /><ul><li>Williams discusses the impact her parents had on her music, and how the rebel spirit she learned from them continues to persist in her today </li><li>She pinpoints the enduring themes of her work, and the critiques she received from the industry for being an artist that grapples with sorrow </li><li>She reflects on the most difficult parts of performing, and how she’s improved as a singer songwriter with a growing audience </li><li>She discusses her relationship to her guitar, and the hurdles she’s had to overcome now that she performs without it </li></ul>Biographies: <br /><br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/60ht0hWRy1yjUDfNsLuHuP?si=vr9NUSCgTmSXqxVyQbNhMQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lucinda Williams</a> is a Grammy award-winning American singer-songwriter with over 700,000 monthly listeners on music streaming services. Born in 1953 in Lake Charles, Louisiana to a father who wrote poetry and taught creative writing and a mother who spent long hours at the piano, Williams developed her love for writing and music as a young girl. By 1980 she had released two albums, <i>“<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3HzbLgbtdRrFRyujsDZrmj?si=k52OypZuSOeLbvri1FpSnA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ramblin on My Mind”</a></i><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3HzbLgbtdRrFRyujsDZrmj?si=k52OypZuSOeLbvri1FpSnA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a>(1979) and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/2jxxEF2IMr312jmiY9B8eb?si=qbQnBruARz-ck4I3lajhGQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>“Happy Woman Blues” </i></a>(1980) to some critical buzz. However, it was the release of her third album, titled <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4BEDvBtVumNz9YaFQaNXDa?si=5fM1RJMTTB-Ce9KEfFYm5Q" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>“Lucinda Williams”</i></a> in 1988 that brought her tender heart into the national spotlight. In 1998, Williams broke through commercially with the release of <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3iC6dJobZulVXp0F4Bojig?si=0dunnQXaQmiICsCs1yq43A" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>“Car Wheels on a Gravel Road,</i></a>” a genre bending album that carved out her unique style—one she says can be found in the crack between rock and country—and earned her a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Her most recent album,<a href="https://www.lucindawilliams.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i> “World’s Gone Wrong,” </i></a>(2026) was created in response to the chaotic socio-political landscape of contemporary America. The album, once again, proves Williams’...
