“Pole Pole” is about the physical challenge of climbing one of the world’s tallest mountains—battling altitude, exhaustion, and the elements. But what it’s really about is the emotional climb so many of us face: learning to slow down, confront the weight we carry within, and keep going even when the summit doesn’t bring the peace we hoped for. It’s about the quiet, difficult work of healing—and realizing the journey back down is sometimes the hardest part.
