Welcome to the Rise and Wander Podcast, where I, Karla Amador, explore adventure, spirituality, and empowerment through the outdoors. This season focuses on hiking basics and my personal story of founding the 52 Hike Challenge. In 2012, at my lowest point during a divorce, I discovered the transformative power of hiking. Guided by life coaching and self-discovery, I committed to hiking once a week for a year, which led to the creation of the 52 Hike Challenge. This journey helped me heal mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, inspiring me to share this challenge with others. This season will cover hiking essentials, safety, and planning, aiming to empower and educate listeners to embrace the outdoors. By committing to this challenge, you can experience personal growth and healing, just as I did. Join me as we embark on this life-changing journey together.
