Finding Balance: Rethinking Work and Adventure in a Busy World

Taking a vacation changed everything. After two weeks away—first helping my mom launch her book in Montana, then mountain biking through the red deserts of Moab with my family—I returned with a revelation that's transformed my approach to business and life.

For years, I've resisted the "busy" badge of honor our culture celebrates. My mantra became "if it's not a hell yeah, then it's a hell no," yet I still found myself caught in the quantity trap. I was pushing out weekly newsletters that felt like inbox pollution, cranking out multiple YouTube videos weekly because "experts" said it would boost my channel, and filling my calendar with back-to-back adventure trips.

Then came the experiment that changed everything. Instead of producing two quick videos, I poured my energy into creating one exceptional video about Nalgene water bottles. After 24 hours of silence, it exploded—7,000+ views and 200+ comments within a week. The message was clear: quality creates exponential results through deeper connection.

This revelation sparked meaningful changes at Hike Like A Woman. Monthly newsletters will replace weekly ones. YouTube videos will come once weekly, crafted with care. And I'm reducing our 2026 guided trips to three extraordinary adventures—Scotland's West Highland Trail, Tour de Mont Blanc, and Kilimanjaro—allowing me to truly know the women joining these journeys.

What might happen if you created more white space in your life? If you're feeling overwhelmed by commitments, try slowing down. Focus on excellence over frequency. Sometimes the path to greater impact requires doing less, but doing it extraordinarily well. Ready to join me on this journey to quality over quantity?
