WTF: Walking Towards Fear

I learned SO much in this conversation with Anastasia Allison, founder of Kula Cloth. She graciously shares so much of her own story and how her near-death experience was the catalyst to really living. Because in the face of death, she experienced no fear, only presence. Boom. Recognizing that fear is manufactured in the mind. 🤯 So what'd she do? HAD A WTF MOMENT. Now she's also a self-growth add...

Put your helmets on to prepare for this one! If you have all your "reasons" that you aren't following your dreams right now, Layne has news for YOU. It doesn't matter your percevied justifications for staying where you are...when you want something, you can create it. We talk about Layne's initiating adventure cycling 4300 miles across the United States with his wife and SEVE...

I went back and forth about posting this episode. It feels open, honest, vulnerable and really, really raw. If you want to join the movement (and want community by your side as you do it) connect with me and share the one step you're taking that gets you out of waiting, and into creating. This is to honor the people who I love who aren't here anymore. I love you. Thanks for listening❤️ Facebook -...

If you've been feeling the itch to get out there and start traveling...you HAVE to listen to this episode. Why wait for other people to join your adventures when you can go out and travel solo?! This week's guest talks to us about all things international solo-traveling and the confidence it creates in you. From how to stay safe, and how to communicate with a language barrier, I learned a LOT. Che...

You've heard it before...."words matter". But why? And how much do they matter? They matter the MOST because the language we use creates the lens we experience the world through. Today's episode is special for me. Because I share with you who I am and who I'm creating myself to be....with the power of language. If this resonates or inspires you....share it with a friend. Or t...

Not all heroes live in luxury. Some live in vans. And Morgan IS a hero. She started by saving herself from a life of discontent by literally creating a job that hasn't existed before her imagination and creativity took over. And now she saves hikers from having to quit their thru-hikes along some of the longest walking trails in the world. Morgan's perspective on all things life and busine...

This may be one of my favorite episodes to date. Not just because I got to talk with a great friend (and powerful coach), Deryl Sweeney….but because of how much I learned. I learned surprising guests with the idea of an ask for my audience was NOT the way to go😂😂. Come listen in to a great conversation all about personal power, personal choice, and deciding who we want to be in the world. If you...

So many people want some bite-sized episodes. So here we are! I'll be sprinkling these in here and there so you can get to know me better where I'll be sharing my musing and learnings with you too. This first mini is all about the power of commitment that I've learned not just on the Pacific Crest Trail, but also through my #75HARD Journey.

Welcome to Season 3!!! Todays guest is……me😂. I share a bit about what I’ve been up to, how my thinking has shifted recently, and my most recent WTF choice. 2022 was a wild ride and I wouldn’t change it for the world. 2023 is already shaping up to challenge the magic of last year and I cannot wait to see where the year ends up. This podcast is about to get a whole lot more interactive too. I’ll be...

The day has come..this is the last episode of the Post-Trail series from the PCT. So Knuckles sits down with Trash Balloon to talk all things PCT one more time. We talked about her experience hiking with a life partner, what HYOH (hike your own hike) means to her, biggest learnings from the trail, how to avoid tramily FOMO, and even attempted to capture why the thru-hiking community is so special....

Unfiltered joins the pod to drop some wisdom and share his experience along the PCT. From navigating obstacles to mindsets translatable to front country life, this isn’t one you want to miss. We’re both a bit chatty, so a longer episode but we’ll worth the listen!

He came live from his brothers shed, where he’s currently living, in order to join me in this conversation! He’s one to watch. Listen along to hear his next big adventurous plans.

The gang is back together!! Topo flew to the east coast to hike again with Knuckles and Powerplant! We headed to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to continue the adventure. I couldn’t resist whipping out the mics to force a mini-pod episode with my two favorite hiker trash pals.

Eagle Eye is one of the only Sri Lankan thru-hikers of the PCT! We met on night one, just over 11 miles into our journey. Come listen to his experience where we cover everything from his quick decision-making process to hike this year, navigating social media while on trail, and managing an injury that almost took him out. He's an amazing guy who also put together an amazing Youtube docu-series wh...

An episode filled with laughter and memories! Nitro and Jurassic Park are two amazing people I met out on the PCT. They hiked the trail as a married couple, and enjoyed every part of it….except Mt Whitney👀. Come listen to an awesome conversation about partnership, communication and most importantly…fun!

This episodes guest, Machine, is a well-decorated hiking veteran! With thousands and thousands of miles under his belt, he offers a unique perspective on hiking, the community, the challenges and the beauty of it all. There’s a bit of mic feedback, but poor audio quality hasn’t stopped me yet…onwards!!

I met Stephen, a Japan native taking on the PCT, the very first night of the trail. We didn’t see each other very often after that, but hopped on to catch up and share about his experience. From cultural differences, changes in hobbies and a close bear encounter, his trail experience was uniquely his.

Sitting down with Passport, we learn that it all boils down to one decision: to hike or to quit. Come get to know this week's guest and how her PCT experience differed from her first thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. If you're interested in reading some of her blog from the trail (which I highly recommend) it can be found at https://sarahmariesb.com/
