#010 - This outdoor backpacking educator and empowerment coach shares her story about becoming confident, safe and self-sufficient in the outdoors and now she empowers other women to do the same regardless of their experience. 

In this episode we discuss:

• Allison's journey from feeling clueless in the outdoors to gaining full confidence in herself and her skills to be on her own as well as lead others.
• How her "year of yes" lead her to following her passion for the outdoors and eventually transitioning from her traditional 9 to 5 to going full-time in her outdoor education business and blog, She Dreams of Alpine.
• How developing the right mindset in the outdoors can be just as important as learning the skills in becoming a successful backpacker.
• How backpacking can be a metaphor for life and overcoming life's challenges.
• Why it's important to have your own back vs relying on outside opinions.
• The difference in the energy of proving something to yourself vs trying to prove someone else wrong.
• The importance of being willing to fail and release the fear of looking ridiculous in new situations.
• Her signature program, Become an Outdoor Backpacking Badass which teaches women self-empowerment in the outdoors.
