Two Outdoor Communities For You
|
Hello and happy May from Montana! (Scroll for a photo of me in my new HOUSE!) I'm here with two resources for you today: There is a happy coincidence in the last two podcast episodes we've published (aside from my opinion that they are both super inspirational...) - both are centered around community AND getting your body moving in the outdoors, IRL. What's not to love?! ā52 Hike Challenge - Meet Karla, Founder of 52 Hike Challenge - summarizing this one with this - if you need motivation, accountability or encouragement to move your body and get hiking (or if you are down to hear a deeply personal and super inspiring story), THIS one is for you! Karla is even leading a group trip to Nepal this October and still has spots left. āGirl Get After It - Meet Cass, Founder of Girl Get After It (and fellow Montanan) - summarizing this one with this - if you are drawn to female-centric spaces, want to meet new friends and get outside and sweat it out together, THIS one is for you! There are chapters all over the country, and Cass leads retreats too! It snowed in Montana last week (truth), but summer is nearly here! So this is my encouragement to you to get outside and get after it, in community, and in gratitude for being able to move our amazing bodies in this beautiful place we get to call home. š Jackie Okay two photos. One from my MTB ride this weekend, and one from right now at my desk in my new home office! āļø |

A friend recently came to me seeking advice regarding my lifestyle around travel. He finds himself "at a bit of a crossroads" in his life and specifically wanted my perspective. My little podcast heart thought, Oh this is going to be good. We should definitely have this conversation, but we should have it out loud for others to hear and potentially benefit from as well. Because I know that nearly all of us hit the "crossroads" at one point or another, or if you're anything like me, you hit it...
Once upon a December of 2017, I set off in a Toyota 4Runner down the length of Chilean Patagonia with a friend to drive the famous Carretera Austral - Chile's "Southern Highway." This "highway" is interrupted by fjords and lakes (and therefore lots of ferries), and dotted with volcanoes, glaciers, coastline, vast expanses of remote landscapes, and jaw-droppingly beautiful national parks. On that trip, I experienced the most freedom I've ever felt in my adult life. Fun Fact: This region of...
Hey Reader, I'm just back from three weeks in summery New Zealand and Iām writing from Montana where it actually does look like Spring in March (this is a first)! I have an exclusive opportunity for you today - something that will bring us together in real time, on a personal level, and you don't even have to buy a plane ticket to get there. Starting April 2nd (so you know this isn't a joke š), I'll be leading small group community coaching sessions. We're taking our JUMP group magic to a new...
