Underneath it All

Grizel Caminas

Underneath it All, hosted by Grizel, we introduce mental health conversations in a relatable way by using the Enneagram framework. We believe the Enneagram is a helpful tool that encourages self reflection, allows you to recognize your own differences and helps us accept the differences of others, without judgement. Through these conversations, we hope you can have a better understanding of others around you, learn to accept and fully embrace your own narrative, and to continue breaking the negative stigma that has engulfed mental health.

We often talk about these wild outdoor adventures we embark on, highlighting the highs, even the lows, but we forget to discuss how we got there in the first place.

Underneath it All, hosted by Grizel, dives deep into the stories of everyday people who have or are currently experiencing mental health difficulties and how the outdoors has influenced them. Because sometimes, what drove us to climb the highest peaks was experiencing the lowest valleys of our lives.

Through these stories, we hope you can have a better understanding of others around you, learn to accept and fully embrace your own narrative, and to continue breaking the negative stigma that has engulfed mental health.

Underneath It All; Season 2, Episode 1

"I've never been interviewed like this. I wanted to show you all the real me. I wanted to share with you who I was and why I do the work that I do. Because for all you know, I'm just some person who's hosting a podcast about mental health stories in the outdoors. But there's a lot more to me than just my passion for storytelling. And before we dive deep into season 2, I thought it may help you , the listener, to understand why I'm so passionate about this work."

Underneath It All Show Notes
Season 2, Episode 2 - Feeling Big, Feeling Loss

Hosted by Grizel
Grief is complicated. It’s messy. It’s exhausting. And it’s SO much. But that doesnt mean we can't talk about it. On this episode, Grizel interviews Meg Yingling, who is a climber and guide based out of Estes Park, Colorado. Grizel and Meg have a vulnerable and raw conversation regarding the loss of two climbing friends, Kalley and Tom.

Meg values the playfulness of outdoor adventure, and loves to provide experiences for people of all ages, skill level, and background to access wild places. She loves practicing handstands, playing with her nieces and nephew, and wearing ridiculous bird shirts.

They also talk about the journey of long distance hiking, and the parallels to the deeper parts of life. At the end of the episode, there is a guided meditation focused on the discovery of compassion towards self.
