What’s inspiring you?

Ahhh, this speaks deeply to my soul… 🦖 The photo was taken as we were a few miles from camp on a recent backpacking trip. I love the perspective of the mound of rocks piled alongside the trail and Jason hiking a bit ahead gives a great perspective of the...

Power in the Pause

As we huffed and puffed our way up Mt. Whitney last weekend, we would stop every hour or so and take a break. Partly to eat, partly to drink water, partly to stretch, and partly to catch our breath. Especially as the elevation increased. 🦖 Funny thing about...

Discovering nature

I recently I hosted a 5-day “Get Out in Nature and Out of the Chaos” challenge… it was something that I had been working on creating for quite some time. It was a labor of love. I was nervous the entire week about delivering the content to the...

Maps & Planning

We are getting into the planning of our next backpacking adventure – whoo hoo! Pouring over the maps and figuring out elevation changes, where reliable water sources are, campsites, etc. are a smidge of what I REALLY love about this phase of planning....

Perspective

This photo was taken a few weeks ago on a 30-mile stretch of the PCT and I have to say when I look at it closely it looks fake! haha The scenery was otherworldly… the perspective was breathtaking. As I came up the switchback below me to the next one above, I...

May your trails be crooked

I’m so excited we’re starting August 3rd! I created a challenge to let go of: the judgment (of myself, and of others)🤬 the confusion😳 the chaos🙄 the politics🤔 the self-policing😬 the fear😲 the anger😡...

ascending the mountain

Don’t you love when God (the Universe/ the Divine/ Creator) sends you little messages? This card fell out of the deck I was using on my Encouragement Circle call this morning, so I put it aside and read about it after. A little back story: we planned to hike the...

What does accountability look like to you?

What does accountability look like to you? To me, it’s the willingness to get up at 4:30 am for a 5 am Zoom with my buddy Linda to workout together because there wasn’t a live stream option. We texted last night and agreed to write our own “workout...

Live with no excuses

Oh no… the link for my workout wasn’t in my inbox this morning! What do I do? 😯I checked the community group to see if others had a similar experience, and when I saw the string of several people sharing they hadn’t received it either, I knew...

Brilliant, beautiful, badass

My friend Elisa C Michel told me that I’m B cubed and that meant: Brilliant. Beautiful. Badass. And I just loved that so much! I had to create a meme to serve as a visual reminder for myself to tuck into my “appreciation file” that I will reflect on...

Petrichor

Fun fact: petrichor is one of my favorite scents… Merriam Webster defines it more in-depth as: a distinctive, earthy, usually pleasant odor that is associated with rainfall especially when following a warm, dry period and that arises from a combination of...

Dancing with the heart…

You may not know this about me… I grew up dancing. Tap, ballet, jazz… and I was on the drill team in high school. To this day, I absolutely LOVE to dance. 💃🏽 In fact, one of the daily activities in my schedule is for dance breaks. I take a...

Excuses or challenges?

I used to struggle with emotions from my past repeatedly showing up and derailing me from previous progress I had made. Then I started getting really curious about those emotions when I was out on a backpacking trip… and you know what happened? All of that...

Where Your Thoughts Have Brought You

The negative self-talk, body-shaming and just mean things I say to myself on replay in my head do not propel me toward the big, healthy, loving goals I’ve set for myself… if I allow myself to go down a path of negative self-talk, it perpetuates and can...

Seeds of Faith

Several weeks ago, I decided to put an idea out that I was very nervous about doing – hosting an encouragement circle. Essentially, it’s a virtual gathering of entrepreneurs and we network… we share who we are, what we are working on, and where we...
