Her Trails

This is a conversation you do not want to miss. Join Sam & Bec as we chat with Amy on all things WOMANHOOD! This is the conversation that goes breaks down your cycle in a simple yet expansive way.

Amy has over 13 years of experience as a nutritionist with a keen interest in hormonal health and physical training. She has helped 100's of women reinvent themselves by breaking the rules, listening to their ovaries and cultivating a strong, resilient and powerfully graceful body through movement. She is a beacon of energy, passion and wealth of knowledge.

Lauren is a member of our very first Her Trails 21.1km program and like all of our members brought a unique and incredible set of life experiences to the table. In 2017, the Jonesys walked through the centre of Australia, on foot, off track, with their one year old daughter. Together as a family, they crossed some of Australia's most extreme terrain and conditions in hopes to more consciously live and connect to Australian country, people and each other. She is now a Mumma of two, works in corporate sustainability and recently moved from Bondi to a farm in Bruny Island.

Born and raised in Seattle, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, she grew up with a keen appreciation of nature and playing outdoors - usually in the rain! Lauren will never turn down an opportunity to hug a tree and spoon her dog Ollie - who really is the best little spoon in the world. She is a long time sustainability advocate and strategist, with a vast knowledge of sustainable and responsible business and investment. She believes in the power of business, collaboration and human experience to make a positive impact.

Lauren believes that self-discovery begins where your comfort zone ends and is reluctantly never one to say no to a challenge.

She is one part of 'Follow the Jonesys' - modern day adventurers who believe you shouldn't have to choose between having a family life and having an adventurous life. Her and her husband seek to challenge the traditional conventions of what it means to 'settle down' and prove that becoming a grown up can still be fun.The Jonesys value experiences over possessions, have a love for travel, adventure and enjoy getting outside.

Enjoy!

"There is a value doing work where you are able to support one person or are able to shift the landscape in the tiniest way and move a millimetre in the right direction. You have to believe wholeheartedly in what you are doing or you will lose your mind."

Stephanie Case is a human rights lawyer and women's rights advocate with expertise in conflict settings and humanitarian emergencies. Starting her career as a corporate lawyer in NYC, the Global Financial Crises offered her an opportunity to take a year off. She did a series of international law consultancies before accepting her dream job - a volunteer position for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan in 2012. Since then her career has taken her to some of the world's most vulnerable populations. She has done multiple deployments for the UN in Afghanistan, the International Rescue Committee in South Sudan, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in Kyrgyzstan, and the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Gaza, Palestine.

Steph has witnessed first-hand the harmful effects of conflict and the disproportionate negative impact on women and girls. She founded not-for-profit organisation Free to Run to use the power of sports to transform lives and communities in the places where it's needed most.

An accomplished ultra trail athlete for over a decade, Steph has found a way to continue her training while many would have been resigned to the complexity whilst living in situations of conflict. She's logged laps on a treadmill and around the UN compound in Kabul and hitched helicopter rides to train in the mountains in Western Afghanistan.

Steph has won or placed in a number of international running events, ranging from 250 km multi-day desert races to 200-mile non-stop mountain races. Stephanie is a passionate advocate for women's rights, and a TEDx speaker.
