Leadership diversity
Sizing inclusivity
Representation in marketing
Commitment to sustainability
Existing controversies or ethical conflicts
Good on You Ⓡ score

In this episode of Outdoorsy, I dive into the principles of Leave No Trace (LNT) to give you a practical, thoughtful guide on how to enjoy the outdoors while protecting it for generations to come.

Becoming the representation she always wanted: Diyor's journey redefining outdoorsy for herself
00:37:16
In this episode of Outdoorsy, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Diyor, someone I’ve admired for a long time online. Diyor is a plus-size, beginner outdoor enthusiast and content creator who is redefining what it means to be “outdoorsy.” Her story is as inspiring as it is relatable—she shares how she went from doubting her place in outdoor spaces to becoming a viral sensation and a beacon of representation for people of color, plus-size individuals, and anyone who doesn’t see themselves reflected in the traditional outdoor industry.
We talk about everything from her early hikes with her dog to the viral video that launched her outdoorsy content creation journey. I loved hearing her take on why the outdoors should be for everyone, how she handles the hate that sometimes comes with being a visible figure, and why it’s okay to be a beginner. Diyor’s passion for inclusivity and her joyful approach to trying new activities, from hiking to kayaking, reminded me why this podcast exists: to showcase that there’s no “right” way to love the outdoors.
I came away from our conversation feeling so inspired by her authenticity, her courage, and her unwavering mission to make outdoor spaces more welcoming for all. I hope you do, too.

The outdoorsy girl dad: Lessons from my mountaineer father, Jim Wilson
01:30:27
This episode is one of the most special ones I’ve ever recorded because my guest isn’t just an outdoorsman, mountaineer, and Eagle Scout—he’s my dad. Jim Wilson is the man who taught me to love the outdoors, appreciate the small wonders in nature, and believe in myself on every trail, summit, and journey.
We talk about everything from his experiences climbing Tahoma (Mt. Rainier) multiple times and his attempt to summit Denali, to the joy of raising three daughters to love the outdoors. My dad shares his wisdom on what it means to be a “girl dad” in the outdoors, how he balanced empowering us while keeping us safe, and why the journey matters more than the summit.
There’s laughter, nostalgia, and yes—maybe some tears. Because my dad isn’t just the person who gave me a love for nature; he’s the reason I believe I belong in it.
Whether you’re just starting your outdoor adventures or looking for inspiration to keep going, this episode will leave you feeling like you’ve gained a second dad cheering you on.
