ABOUT Stephanie:

Stephanie graduated from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 1993. She has been a respected teacher in her field and her writing has appeared in "USA Today," "Massage and Bodywork Magazine," and "Sports Source," among other publications.

For two years she traveled full time with the US National Road Cycling Team, before moving on to the Volvo Cannondale Professional Mountain Bike Racing Team, where she spent 6 years on the World Cup circuit as the teams therapist and assistant manager. Both teams afforded her the extraordinary experience of attending the Olympic Games in Atlanta 96' and Sydney, AUS 00.'

For the last seven years she has managed a successful private practice in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, while traveling for personal adventure as much as possible. Stephanie's travels have taken her to 25 countries on 6 continents and through 46 States across the US. She considers international travel and learning about other cultures to be a significant link to a more vibrant, compassionate, and fulfilling life.

Following her first trip to Nepal in 2006, Stephanie became involved in fundraising and book collection for the Magic Yeti Children's Library Project, lead by award winning filmmaker Liesl Clark and Everest mountaineer Peter Athans. Her involvement in this project motivated her to launch the Mt. Everest Mind Camp to help empower and inspire others around the globe.

Some of Stephanie's earlier occupations include training Polo ponies for international competition and painting tennis courts on the island of Kauai.

When not practicing therapeutic bodywork in Oklahoma or interviewing guests for the Mt. Everest Mind Camp, Stephanie can be found running off to play in the Colorado Rockies whenever possible or preparing for her next trip to Nepal.

FEATURED MARCH 2010 GUEST: Stephanie Graham

Founder and Director of the Mt. Everest Mind Camp

"Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

- Jim Rohn

Q: What do you think holds most people back from achieving their goals?

A: I have attended world renowned seminars with life changing self development leaders, and read well over a hundred books in the field of achievement and development. I have spent over 17 years in the practice of massage therapy with a wide variety of clients and athletes to learn from in terms of the human psyche and I have traveled extensively for well over a decade.

Here is what I see time and time again as reasons for not achieving a goal, from greater health, travel, wealth, better relationships and more.

*They don't know what they want. THAT is the big one!

*Even when they do know what they want, they are not willing to do what it takes to get it.

*They would rather complain, dream or talk about it, than actually achieve it.

*They lack the discipline and focus to see daily tasks through in order to accomplish the greater more rewarding goal.

*They think someone else has greater power to achieve something, while their own power lies dormant and under utilized.

*They unconsciously carry around an inner mantra "there will always be tomorrow".

Each of the above reasons have great power to keep us stuck on a merry go round to nowhere. It comes down to "how bad do you want what you want?"

One of my earlier guests, Roz Savage, sat down one day and wrote two different versions of her own obituary. One was the direction she was most likely headed towards with her current life choices, and the other was the one she REALLY wanted.

It was a wake up call for her and since then she has gone on to live a life of extraordinary adventure, success and fulfillment!
