This week on The My Outdoorsy Mom Podcast, I’m joined by Shaniece King — solo mom, outdoor adventurer, and creator behind Kay Lashae Adventures. Her story is powerful, honest, and deeply encouraging for any mom who’s wondered, “Can I really do this?”

In this conversation, we talk about:

• How hiking helped Shaniece heal during a painful season of her life
• Why beginner adventures matter (and how to start small)
• Her cross-country trip with her daughter to Sequoia, Yosemite, and King’s Canyon
• How nature sparked emotional healing, deeper faith, and generational change
• Encouragement for solo parents and moms navigating divorce, transitions, or fear

We also chat about Shaniece’s Solo Mom Travel & Adventure Guide, and how she uses the AllTrails app to plan safe, kid-friendly hikes.

Whether you’re new to hiking, nervous about traveling solo with your child, or just craving some encouragement — this episode will meet you where you are.
