| 07 Jan 2021 | Greatest lessons of 2020, psychedelics and looking ahead with Gaby Barboza | 02:01:25 | |
As we find ourselves in a new year, we can't help but reflect on the one that's just passed. 2020 was a year filled with ups, downs, learnings and realizations. This episode is about all of that. I had the chance to sit down with my longest friend, Gaby Barboza. She is an RN, RYT-200, Reiki practitioner and soon to be Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP). Gaby is empowered by mindful, bio-individual, intentional holistic medicine. She sincerely believes that we are all capable of living an energized, happy, and fulfilling life and the answers lie within us if we can take some time to listen and also be heard by the practitioners we consult. We've known each other since we were 3 years old - so to say we're close would be an understatement. In this episode, Gaby and I talk about the highs and lows of 2020, what our greatest lessons were and what we're looking forward to in this new revolution around the sun. We each determined 2021 to be the year of ______ and set goals and milestones we hope to reach - both personally and in business. This episode is a gentle reminder that we are not alone, no matter how hard this life gets. A reminder to find the light in the dark. Where to find Gaby

| 29 Apr 2021 | Finding yourself, embracing fear and practicing vulnerability with Taj + Hannah | 01:05:22 | |
Switching things up a bit for this episode. I was interviewed by Taj Arora, a London based travel and self-growth digital creator. She recently started the Not So Perfect podcast and had me on as a guest. I wanted to share our episode on Women & the Wilderness because there are a lot of juicy takeaways that I didn’t want you to miss out on. This episode is based around the idea of embracing fear and creating the life you want to live. I never really considered myself fearless, instead I just choose to live without settling. Because, we ain't got time for that! Taj and I chat about the complexities of all those inner workings along with the ups and downs of 2020, self-acceptance and love, body image, travel, self-discovery and so much more.

| 17 Dec 2020 | What to expect traveling internationally during COVID-19 | 00:32:27 | |
I’m going to be honest, I had no idea what to expect when traveling internationally during COVID-19. With so many questions running through my head, I turned to friends that recently returned from trips and to Google. But alas, nothing could prepare me for my own travel experience. It’s like asking someone to tell you what love feels like: it’s different for everyone! I recently had the opportunity to visit Costa Rica, you can read about that in the blog post linked in the show notes. Traveling internationally wasn’t a decision I made lightly and a number of factors came into play. Ultimately: I decided to travel internationally. In this episode I break down my experience traveling to Costa Rica. I chat about my experience in flight, in the airport and in country and what a little about what to expect about the overall process of traveling internationally during COVID-19.

But 2020 had something a little different in store for her. We dive into our whirlwind trip through Asia and how we first met, breast cancer and her double mastectomy, yoga, and how a broken drone led her to meeting her fiancé.

| 14 Jan 2021 | Why I think New Years resolutions are bullshit and living in alignment | 00:23:08 | |
I've never been one to set New Years resolutions and follow through with them. I would always set them and fail to see them through, whether it was because "life" got in the way or I simply stopped working toward it. Plus, I never really bought into the "new year, new me" mentality. It just wasn't for me. In this solo episode, I briefly reflect on 2020, talk all about living in alignment and how I think New Years resolutions kind of mess with that. I also share actionable suggestions to help you live in alignment and the things that help me live purposefully.

Our love for Colorado over here at Women & the Wilderness is no secret. During Hannah’s last trip to Colorado she finally visited the Crystal Mill, after years of waiting.

| 10 Sep 2020 | Moving through grief, nature as a return to the self and solo adventuring with Arielle Shipe | 01:26:42 | |
Arielle Shipe is best known for her adventurous spirit and passion for living life to its fullest which she shares on Instagram and YouTube- oh and those fun GoPro selfies she always posts.
She is a yoga teacher, entrepreneur, content creator, and full-time graduate student getting her masters in Holistic Nutrition. If you can't get ahold of her it's probably because she's somewhere in the mountains with her dog pursuing one of her favorite outdoor activities of climbing, hiking, mountain biking, or skiing/snowboarding. She is a huge advocate for taking care of one's health so you can set big goals and climb big mountains (literally and figuratively).
In this conversation we chat about how she navigated moving through grief, how the loss of her father shifted the way she shows up for herself and others, when she found the confidence to adventure outdoors solo, and postponing her thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Since then, Aaron has dedicated her career to helping thousands of hikers enjoy delicious food and improve their performance in the backcountry. She focuses on ultralight, low-volume recipes and meal plans specially formulated for endurance athletes.

| 06 Aug 2020 | Not allowing physical differences define who you are with Allison Lang | 01:44:52 | |
In this episode of Women & the Wilderness I am joined by Allison Lang; content creator, solo female traveler, and advocate for body inclusivity. Oh, and did I mention she’s a left below-the-knee amputee? Born and raised in Alberta, she grew up hiking, snowboarding, and swimming in Banff and Jasper National Park. This ignited her passion for travel, she’s backpacked 29 countries thus far! In this conversation, we discuss how she overcame severe bullying, body image insecurities, and a handful of surgeries which, in the end, led her to find her sense of independence and confidence. Allison has personally eliminated the word “disabled” from her vocabulary and prefers to use “physical difference” instead because she believes that each obstacle is an opportunity. She encourages others to ask questions and hopes to open up the conversation about amputation to normalize bodies that are physically different.

| 21 Sep 2023 | The outdoor experience with Payton | 00:57:45 | |
Payton Hoops is a long time adventurer based in Boulder, Colorado. Her love of the outdoors began at a young age when she would spend time hiking and camping with her family in the summers. Payton attended an expeditionary based high school where she discovered her love of backpacking, spending over 50 days in the Indian Peaks Wilderness and Mount Zirkel Wilderness between the ages of 13 and 17. When she graduated high school, Payton set out to complete the Colorado Trail thru hike, a 500-mile hike from Denver to Durango, Colorado. For the past decade, Payton has committed to sharing her love of the outdoors with youth, guiding multi-day trips in Colorado’s vast backcountry. Now working a full-time job in the social impact sector, Payton is deeply grateful for any time she gets on the trails — hiking, biking, fly fishing backpacking, and skiing. In this episode we talk about her experience hiking the Colorado Trail and the spectrum of emotions she went through, what expeditionary schooling is like, wilderness medicine resources and safety first and so much more.

| 10 Dec 2020 | My thoughts on traveling and practices for traveling safely during COVID-19 | 00:27:24 | |
Flashback to March when I'd just returned from what I didn't know would be my last international trip for 9 months. I remember thinking that the pandemic would be swift, quick and life would get back to normal rather quickly. As the months rolled on- I realized that was not the case. And before I could get a handle on it, my life had completely changed. Seemingly overnight. I made the decision to travel domestically, within the U.S., and internationally within the last couple of months. It was a decision I did not take lightly and I felt an overwhelming amount of responsibility when it came to sharing my experience. In this episode I chat about my first domestic flight during the pandemic and all of the precautions I will be taking for my first international trip this week. Along with my thoughts and feelings about why I've chosen to travel. I share this episode with you to help educate you on traveling safely and how to respect the communities and countries you're visiting. The detriment that COVID-19 has caused the travel industry is devastating but what's more devastating is the economic loss in countries that rely so heavily on tourism. It's a double-edged sword to encourage travel right now but as someone that works in the industry, it is also my responsibility to share how travel can be done safely.
