Jill Wheatley

In the quiet climbs, I find words…. #poetry #climbing #recovery

Proud and privileged to share my story among such legends #climbing

Letting go of what could have been & embracing what is, acceptance, the most direct path to inner peace, challenged me for years following #braininjury which resulted in loss of 70% of my eyesight. I struggled to cultivate inner balance through acceptance. bit.ly/4gcAbYG

With unanswered messages & reference to insignificance, from the top of #K2, #Kanchenjunga or Cascade 🇨🇦, I may be small yet the ways I choose to respond to adversity allows others to see what is possible: THAT is significant. #8000 #climbing #recovery mountainsofmymind.com/feelin…

Unanswered messages, emails & texts from companies who had been ‘on my team’ as I climbed atop some of the world’s most pristine #8000 ers , having my story withdrawn from a magazine publication & mention of insignificance…I climb on. mountainsofmymind.com/feelin…

Once upon a chilly February morning, 2 friends raced the sun rising in the Rockies in search of a frozen waterfall to scale.....the plot quickly twist & happily ever after will take a minute. For the story so far check out : mountainsofmymind.com/ice-fa… #iceclimbing #resilience

From #Kathmandu to #Canmore: Falling into Place Sharing a reflection of choices I have made and update on life's trail from the Rockies. Mountains of My Mind November News: bit.ly/3QAHEoK #climbing #8000 #mountains #recovery #traumaticbraininjury #visuallyimpaired

Reflecting on reading my name in the media with reference to “quitting”… There are times to pivot, times to let go, times to choose differently; there is a difference between reacting to things being hard and truly having a change of heart.

I have walked away from 8 000 m climbing thoughtfully and intentionally climbing more technical and interesting routes in the Rockies soon to be back to backcountry skiing and ice climbing continuing to shine light on the power of perspective and possibility.

If something no longer feels aligned with my purpose, when I take the time to sit with my motivations, values and emotions, I discover that there is no longer alignment, changing direction is more powerful than sticking to something for fear of judgment of “quitting”.

with reference to the July article where I was mentioned: I feel there are times to pivot, times to let go, times to choose differently; there is a difference between reacting to things being hard and truly having a change of heart.

So much respect for Chris’ modest style and strength on the mountain

New Podcast: Talking all things change, challenge and choosing my response when life's trail gets rocky... from the Rockies. bit.ly/3RhZFtJ #visuallyimpaired #inspiringstories #braininjuryawareness #climbing #podcast #adaptiveathlete #recovery #mountains #8000

Considering what #resilience looks like, if any part of this is what comes to your mind, then I feel at least part of my purpose on this earth has been served.

Explore Magazine features a feat far bigger than any mountain. If there’s one thing JIll Wheatley knows, it’s that life does not always go according to plan. 👉 bit.ly/3E1pgPP #visuallyimpaired #traumaticbraininjury #resilence #motivationalspeaker #mountaineering
