As the first woman to ever climb the 5.15 and V15 difficulty grades, Dr. Michaela Kiersch knows what it's like to chase "impossible" - and succeed. In this conversation with ReliaQuest mental performance coaches Derin McMains and Dr. Nicole Detling, Michaela highlights the importance of focusing on her personal potential versus the limitations of others, and how celebrating small successes can sustain motivation.

As both a professional rock climber and an occupational therapist, you'll also hear Michaela talk about:

• Power of collaboration and support
• Achieving a flow state
• The presence required to balance multiple passions
