100 - Injured & Indoors

Listen Later

What happens when injury sidelines you from your favorite outdoor activities.

First off, you're not alone. This episode features four nature-loving women whose injuries necessitated surgery and lots of time for rest. We talk about the mental and physical challenges, how they coped, and how it felt when they made it outside again once more.

Women featured in this episode: Hailey Hirst, Erica Aaron, Amanda Gates, and Jaime Purinton

Hosted by Gale Straub

In this episode you'll hear:

  • About four women's injuries and how their recoveries put them on the sidelines of their outdoor lives
  • How the mental challenge of healing is often harder than the physical challenge
  • How the women coped with the isolation, immobility, and separation from the outdoor activities they love
  • What it felt like when they were able to step back outside
