We had an ascent of almost 2,000 feet (600 meters), much of it toward the end of the day. I’d also joined a group that took a detour to a mountain lake for a quick swim. Absolutely worth it, but possibly not my wisest energy-management decision. Toward the end of the climb, I was spent. I hadn’t eaten enough. I was out of water. The altitude was making it difficult to catch my breath. One of the other hikers had stayed with me, trying to distract and encourage me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/bbea4a7f-2ec3-4820-9754-826dbe09a7e8/95E631CA-7A7B-45A7-B21F-3945E4B28226_1_105_c.jpeg Blog - Take Small Steps - The climb was tough. My brother-in-law could see me struggling as we climbed toward the summit and insisted on taking my pack for part of the climb. Later, my husband took over. Then my other brother-in-law stepped in. At one point, my husband’s oldest brother noticed how I was climbing. I was taking big steps up the mountain, planting my poles and pushing hard. “Take small steps, Briana. Take small steps.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/77d75e77-1b77-47cf-9bd6-791b8c1d8a57/3E30835B-CF57-4B0D-8E9B-830E7FF05F54_1_105_c.jpeg Blog - Take Small Steps - Make it stand out Here I am with my husband, his two brothers, and our sister in-law. Truly grateful for all of their support throughout this trip! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/cb9283d6-1555-45af-ab14-788db05f1509/E09A6825-F5B3-49CD-B3A8-8ED942F5F975_1_105_c.jpeg Blog - Take Small Steps - And yet, somewhere along the way, we became a team. There was no culture program happening on that mountain. No one assigned roles for who should notice when someone was struggling, carry a pack, offer water, wait behind, or make everyone laugh when we needed it. People noticed. And they responded. The Secret Cheerleader may have started as an experiment, but by the end, encouragement belonged to everyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/416093a3-db6c-4ad2-9c6a-5ac97e763ef3/FA09F94E-6B31-45DE-9CB0-D5911650ECFB_1_105_c.jpeg Blog - Take Small Steps - We accomplished what we’d set out to do in Switzerland. But when I asked what everyone wanted to remember five years from now, very few of the answers were about the accomplishment itself. They remembered how we got there. The support. The laughter. The people. The mental battles. The silence. The small steps. The mountain didn’t get any smaller when I changed my stride. The climb didn’t become easy when someone took my pack. But I could breathe again. I had enough energy for the next step. And together, we kept moving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/42839a81-797b-4abc-ba92-7873ca4f9ab2/DB50F6B8-DE08-4146-A48A-4085728E3390_1_105_c.jpeg Blog - Take Small Steps - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.positivelyhygge.com/blog/Blog Post Title One-3zaa9-psry7 monthly 0.5 2026-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/95b4ac10-a1bb-44bc-9584-0129e09ac359/IMG_1762.jpeg Blog - Where High Performance Feels Human - The experience that reshaped how I build teams that perform without burning people out‍ https://www.positivelyhygge.com/story daily 0.75 2026-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/9bc243e4-883a-475c-8efb-a47d44f57894/3A4A8431.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/4fbd6d5a-2223-44b3-84c4-4f20a8b3e65e/copenhagen-denmark-may-6-2018-scenic-view-of-2026-01-06-00-29-56-utc.jpg https://www.positivelyhygge.com/appointments daily 0.75 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/c2ea5769-906c-4767-9e2b-d1eaeaced607/3A4A8476.jpg https://www.positivelyhygge.com/services daily 0.75 2026-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/ea78a9dd-98c8-43e5-ab6a-f3d55fa0548e/2.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/2144d9fa-825d-444c-b570-58bc1a1718cf/3.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/e95573de-0818-49fb-9d73-948e65034531/4.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/09f9ace6-317d-4b9e-b0b2-c4d069892450/5.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/e610e1fa-9046-47e6-b966-1b043f8e7ec5/6.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/e55386ab-70c0-4988-aeee-dbae7f502532/7.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/ebc6e224-e31d-46df-8181-d3411c77e4b7/Briana_Couch.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/1789407332487-64IQV4L9GBQLRZXSVOFR/unsplash-image-PbzntH58GLQ.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/52b8c507-1b3f-4bc3-b2f8-19f31ac49c60/you-are-what-you-do-not-what-you-say-you-will-do-b-2026-03-18-12-12-37-utc.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/63093c61-4343-40df-a1b3-a9eb41523b05/green-plant-growing-in-good-soil-banner-with-copy-2026-03-09-21-43-55-utc.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/ea78a9dd-98c8-43e5-ab6a-f3d55fa0548e/2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/e4c28b2a-66b1-4388-b5df-28b5fdfa2b86/3A4A8469.jpg https://www.positivelyhygge.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2026-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/5c5a515e-3b11-4a5c-a322-e1c5ae700c26/IMG_1753.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/7ae3793e-0bdf-4982-bcc9-35676f746856/PH_logo_1c_teal_mark.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/6be471f8-69b9-405d-9f54-7a35def6e259/Danish+mailboxes+and+bicycle.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/e772926e-5201-4f16-8a27-d3685ecf3f0c/PM_tag_whitetext.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/521ba531-b6ca-4e0a-8ad6-c84277e1d47e/PH_mark_1c_white.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/0f6d99f0-d99c-4405-9ed2-cc468c45dcb6/30.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6980d834c65ae00b9906e25d/5a0b7cd3-84a1-4170-a328-df112e16a82c/3A4A8415.jpg
