If you’ve ever chased a wild dream—or wondered if you had the grit to—this episode of the Halfway Feral Podcast will speak to your soul. We’re joined by Bridgett Watkins: proud Alaskan, Iditarod finisher, mom, nurse, and now the author of Marker to Marker, a powerful memoir about racing 1,000 miles across the Alaskan wilderness.

Bridgett opens up about what it took to prepare for the Iditarod as a woman, the hardest moments on the trail, and the mindset that carried her to the finish line—marker to marker, one mile at a time. She also shares how she’s navigating her next season of life with grit, grace, family, and faith.

This is a story of endurance, identity, and the untamed spirit of outdoorswomen everywhere—perfect for anyone who loves adventure, resilience, and redefining what’s possible.
