You Are Never As Lost As You Think You Are. Life Lessons. | Emily Miller | TEDxBelltown Women

Drawing on personal experiences and training thousands to navigate in the backcountry, she shares a practical three-step process to stop the spiral, regain control, and find direction—tools that go beyond maps, compasses and technology to help you navigate chasing your dreams or life’s toughest challenges. With the right tools and focus, you really never are as lost as you think you are.
