In this solo episode, I reflect on the two-year journey since my last solo recording, sharing personal hiking adventures, community milestones, and lessons learned. I recount my hiking beginnings, memorable trails, and transformative experiences in Washington, Arizona, Hawaii, and beyond. 

I dive into the growth of the Hikes & Mics community, including the evolution of the podcast’s format, the addition of virtual guests, and finding guests outside of Instagram. I share stories of connection, personal challenges on the trail, and unexpected moments like berry-picking mishaps and encounters with PCT hikers.
