National Park After Dark

Today we sit down for a conversation with Jean Muenchrath. We touch upon her tragic fall off Mount Whitney, but really focused on her story after the accident. Jean brings us through her recovery, her travels and how transforming her mindset changed her life just as much as the incident in the Sierra’s. Jean also sheds light on the importance of mental fortitude and how sharing stories of personal struggle is a strength.All proceeds of Jean’s book are donated to charity - pick up a copy of If I Live Until Morning HERE and learn more about Jean Muenchrath HEREFor a full list of our sources, visit npadpodcast.com/episodesFor the latest NPAD updates, group travel details, merch and more, follow us on npadpodcast.com and our socials:Instagram: @‌nationalparkafterdarkTikTok: @‌nationalparkafterdarkSupport the show by becoming an Outsider and receive ad free listening, bonus content and more on Patreon or Apple Podcasts.
