Wander in Wonder
Lisa Holcomb, Wander the Whites
The guides are so diverse here, from going on an Appalachian Mountain Club tour to ice climbing, and all of the other guides in between. I like falling in between, at that moderate stage.
Connect With Your Mind, Body, and Spirit (and Get Your Goat!)
Ashley Flowers, Ashley Flowers Yoga
Connection with another human is scary. Staring into the eyes of a little baby goat, on the other hand, is just not scary… they’re so funny and ridiculous.
Fuel Your Fun
Hillary Pride, Eats with Pride
I usually try to do some greens [in my smoothie] because I go through phases with salads… I’m not like, ‘I can’t wait to go home and eat kale’ in January. I don’t usually feel that way.
If You Love It, Someone Else Will Too
Jana Olenio, SUP Yo Adventures
That was the point at which all of my passions came together, my travel experience and my passion for yoga and nature… and I was so thrilled, because I was sharing what I loved and was passionate about with other people.
Becoming a DoryWoman
Nicolle Littrell, DoryWoman Rowing
It was this fantastic feeling of, like, this is my boat. And it was a feeling of freedom… this is what I’m looking for, that freedom.
Become the Person You're Interested in Being
Jackie Lastinger, The Girls Trip Adventure Co.
I’m just trying to inspire other women to get out there with other women and not be scared, and just get out of their comfort zones. And go do this cool shit you know you can do.
Blaze Your Own Trail to Self-Love
Sydney Williams, Hiking My Feelings
I love this container that I’ve created. It’s catchy, it feels like a cool way to talk about mental health, without talking about mental health and scaring people.
Blaze the Path (or Trail!) That Serves You
Victoria Amico, Plus Sized Outdoors
My entire world just cracked open. And it made me realize that I am so much more capable of things than I realized.
Be Kind To Your Mind
Tri State Hikers Executive Board
We all see the need for getting more people outdoors, especially the kids… That’s been our focus recently, to get more young people and kids outside, because at the end of the day, that’s our future, then are the future. And now is the time to nurture that love for nature.
Heat Things Up with a DIY Adventure
Paula, Trish & Jen Visit Cedar Grove Sauna
“WHOOOOOOAAOO!” “HOLY SH*T” “WOW” “WOW” “This is amazing!”
Make (and Claim) Space for Yourself
Ava Baptiste, TriState Hikers
Sometimes when someone comes for a hike, they just want to get something off their chest, or they just want to be free to talk. I think it’s so much easier to talk to a stranger than people you know… and sometimes that’s what people need, just a listening ear.
Be Your Own Hero
Lori Steere, Butter Hill Hideaway
Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff, and I was like, ‘You know what? I’m just going to do this for now’, and it happened.
