Liz Brown, trail name "Ukulele", discovered the harmony and balance she needed while hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2019. We chat about her life as a wildland firefighter, going into a Ph.D program and ultimately making a decision to take a pause for a thru-hike to figure out how she truly wanted to live. We go into how the trail changed her and what life has been like post-trail, including how it inspired her to create and transform herself. Finally, Liz shares her advice for would be thru-hikers and those who might already be out there on the trail.
