Spent yesterday and today at The Woods Project learning about the Desolation Wilderness, a beautiful section of the Pacific Crest Trail and preparing for a summer adventure with a group of high school students.

Excited that I get to be part of introducing young people to the triumphs and tribulations of hiking and backpacking, the challenge, the wonder, the teamwork, and the growth that happens on the trail. Adventure teaches lessons that stay with you for life. Looking forward to this journey.

You don’t need a mountain to train like one.
You just need to show up.

I had the opportunity to be a guest on the To Your Health podcast, and we had such a great conversation!

I shared my journey, from weight loss to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and how saying “yes” to movement and the outdoors completely changed my life.
