In 2015, a life-threatening fall left Caroline Leon with shattered bones and doctors telling her she’d never walk again. But Caroline refused to let that be her story. After 14 surgeries and two years of rehab, she didn’t just get back on her feet, she started climbing. Fast forward to today: she’s scaled over 38 mountains (including Mount Everest) and holds a Guinness World Record as the fastest woman to summit the Volcanic Seven Summits.

On the Lovin Dubai Show, Caroline shared the incredible highs and brutal lows of her journey

From the moment she almost gave up after the accident to standing on top of Everest, this episode dives deep into the physical, mental, and emotional resilience it takes to defy the odds.

And she’s not done yet! Caroline has plans to return to Everest, but this time, for a completely different mission

This episode is the motivation boost you didn’t know you needed.
