Ep. 57 // Girl on a Rock: Kirsten Gee


Listen Later

The life-saving

voice you hear overnight made a day-time trip into Nussbaum. From juggling
countless hats in a 12-hour shift in overnight operations to packing a 30-pound
canoe around for fun on vacation, Kirsten Gee is a multi-talented gem at
Nussbaum who never fails to surprise.

She’s a witness to

the terrors of the night, but she’s also the spot of light in the darkness that
helps you get through. This long-haired Barbie Doll blondie is one of the most
adventuresome outdoorsmen you’ll meet.

She runs marathons,

is an aspiring bush crafter, an avid fisherman, and she’s taught English in
Africa and built houses in Mexico, and then in her spare time, she’s fishing in
Canada.

But where do her

empathy and deep-rooted care come from? Discover the unthinkable, yet totally
understandable, depths of Kirsten Gee in this episode of Terminal Exchange.
