Cat Coe - Lesson from a Mountain: It's Our Birthright to Take up Space
Tune in to meet Cat Coe, Broad Beta's audio content producer. Cat lives in Lander, Wyoming, where she works full-time as a flight nurse. In this episode, Cat reflects on the quote, "Lesson from a mountain: It's our birthright to take up space and look f**king majestic." She remembers her time working as an ICU nurse during Covid, the grief it brought, and how she rediscovered her grit while guiding a trip on Mt. Rainier.
Since 2003, climbing has taken Cat throughout the Rockies and abroad, though her favorite missions have been in the nearby mountains of Wyoming and Montana. She picks adventure climbs over five-star climbing areas and loves to talk her partners into long walks and good old-fashioned choss fests. Cat brings experience as a mountain guide and climbing instructor to her roles working with Broad Beta.
