A profound shift is happening. After a decade of leading Hike Like a Woman, I'm transforming this platform into something deeply personal yet universally resonant. During a coffee conversation with a young military friend facing trauma, her question struck me to my core: "How do I move forward after something horrific?" While hiking solo through Moab's desert trails, the answer crystallized—my experiences with breast cancer, military service, and rebuilding life after trauma could serve others in ways my hiking content alone never could.

The statistics are alarming. One in eight American women will face breast cancer, but for female veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan, that risk skyrockets to one in four or five. My generation of veterans stands at the precipice of a potential reproductive cancer epidemic, yet these stories often remain untold. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro became my north star after cancer treatment—a tangible goal that helped me reclaim my body and spirit when everything familiar had been stripped away. That journey taught me lessons too valuable to keep to myself.

Starting next week, this podcast transforms into The Rebecca Walsh Show, dedicated to cancer recovery, life after trauma, and finding purpose through life's most challenging terrains. I'll continue posting audio episodes every Tuesday, complemented by video content where I'll share stories from the forest. For those still seeking hiking and adventure content, Hike Like a Woman continues as a separate platform. If you've connected with my story, I invite you to join the community I'm building—whether through this podcast, my new YouTube channel, or the Kilimanjaro coaching Patreon. Sometimes our most difficult paths lead to our greatest purpose. Will you walk this new trail with me?
