In this special episode, I'm interviewing my mom, Kathleen Ruland. At the age of 61, she is an accomplished endurance athlete and an avid backpacker.

We talk about getting started in outdoor pursuits, getting past excuses and staying consistent in order to reach your goals. Plus, we dive into why our wilderness experiences are so powerful and how they have helped to change our lives and our relationship as mother and daughter.

Mountain Mother: An interview with my mom

In The Inspired Adventurepreneur Podcast, Anastasia Allison, the nationally acclaimed violinist for The Musical Mountaineers (a duo that climbs mountains carrying a violin and, yes, a piano), brings you mountain-infused inspiration to help you go from stuck to summit in every area of your life. 

Anastasia is a former park ranger and police officer who decided to pursue her adventure-inspired life after nearly dying in a car accident. After being, "stuck" for nearly 20 years of her life, she immersed herself in the process of figuring out how to unshackle herself from the beliefs that were paralyzing her with fear.   

Each week, sometimes accompanied by the melodic tunes of her music, she helps you uncover the beliefs that are holding YOU back from designing the adventure-inspired life that you want and deserve.

 You will learn the exact tips, tricks and tools - plus get a healthy dose of inspiration - so that you can blaze your own path and find the fulfillment that you deserve, on and off the trail..

In this episode I talk about the magical process of the 'unfolding' of a vision. Don't get stuck in the 'how' of not knowing where to go or what to do... simply believe that everything is possible and go forward with the knowledge that all of the answers will reveal themselves to you.

The MAGIC of the unfolding

In this episode I talk about the different phases of mindset in the process from stuck to summit: disbelief, doubt, wishing, believing and knowing. I hope this episode helps you learn more about where you are in the process of intentionally creating your own adventure-inspired life and how you can accelerate your progress by moving to higher realms of belief.

Mindset: The Art of Knowing

In this episode, I reflect back to the moment that I pressed "SEND" to give my notice from my job as a police officer. In that moment, I shattered 20 years of fears that had been completely paralyzing me in place.

The moment I pressed SEND.

In this small episode I talk about the idea that none of us is a, "regular" person. We are all so unique and different and we have so much to bring into the world. I honestly just record these podcasts from my heart, and I hope that this one finds the people who need it.

Nothing about YOU is regular!

In this episode, I talk about the concept of, "climbing the energy ladder"... how focusing you efforts on placing yourself in a higher functioning mode of being (i.e. gratitude!) will allow you to, "tune" yourself to opportunities that exist at different frequencies.
I use my own story as an example in this episode, and describe exactly how I used this method to go from a nightshift working police officer... to the violinist for The Musical Mountaineers!
