One of my favorite things about having this podcast is getting to talk to my friends and share the things they are wildly passionate about and the amazing things they are doing. I met Alix in 2018 on a women’s mountain bike group ride. I couldn’t wait to try her amazing products sourced from right here in the Sierra Nevada from her company, Tahoe Petrichor. To this day, Alix is still handmaking ev...

Catch up with Tarin and Amber about how their 2024 is starting! It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, but it is relatable.

Frustrated by having to choose between tactical dehydration or...

Men aren’t the only ones who can appreciate a 2 stroke motor. That was apparent last January as Sierra Avalanche Center put on its first women’s level 1 motorized avalanche course.

We simply cannot believe it’s halfway through November! Tarin went on a work trip, had loads of fun, and got a lot done! Amber is in the throws of momming and being back in school herself. A constant in their life has been the FrostFit 30-day program they launched two weeks ago. They discuss how that’s been keeping them accountable and how the fudge to know when to power through, ease back, be hon...

Cycle syncing is becoming a hot topic and with anything that becomes a “trending” subject, it can come off as dogmatic on social media. People want to pick a side, run with it, and claim it’s this way or no way. This week, Tarin dives into period talk with Angie Marie and they discuss our inner seasons and a way of living seasonally (so to speak). They also discuss the importance of doing what is...
