My first Grand Canyon through-hike took me to the edge of my comfort zone and beyond. I believe life begins at the edge of your comfort zone! In this episode, I share my first experience hiking a continuous 42 mile Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim hike.

In June 2013, I walked into the Grand Canyon and 28 hours later, emerged with swollen, blistered feet, a broken spirit, and a fear of living adventurously.

Ultimately, this experience woke me up and inspired me to run an Ironman, climb to 18,000 feet in the Himalayas and return to the 42 mile Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim hike. 

This show is about how difficult outdoor experiences build inner strength and mindfulness to live a life with purpose and adventure.  It's also about finding a balance between stretching ourselves and being content and grateful each day.   

Every week I will share adventures, insights, and tips to empower you to step into your own adventure-inspired life. I'll bring on guests to share their stories of adventure and inner strength. 

I started this show because I'm passionate about cultivating grit, growth, and gratitude.  But I also need a community to encourage that growth, a lifeline to lean on when things get tough. Something to remind me that I'm not alone and to help me rise again. 

I hope you learn something, laugh a little, and are empowered to step into your best, adventure-inspired life.  Let's get started.
