Tarin It Up

Happy Women’s History Month! For our first episode of this month, we have Carina Hamel, co-founder of Bivo. In this episode, Carina shares her journey from working in product development to developing her very own product. After realizing most performance hydration options were all made of plastic, and a very bad drinking experience from an old cross-country ski belt, Carina and her husband set out to change things.

In creating Bivo, they sought to design a stainless steel performance water bottle with a flow rate that could keep up with that of the plastic bottles on the market. That goal wasn’t only reached but surpassed. With Bivo there is no chugging, no air, no mold, just a clean path of water delivered with ease.

Carina and Tarin talk about where it all started. From when Carina was cross-country skiing as a little girl to how her children now ski in the same program her family started when she was young and her journey through the work world to starting her own business. Listen in and check out their amazing products that are far more than a simple cycling bottle!

It’s been one month since we’ve had a T & A episode! So, this week we catch up on our personal accounts of February. Per usual, this episode is a mixed bag of emotions but as we always say, our goal is to resonate with folks out there. It isn’t always pretty and happy-go-lucky and we aim to share that side of things too so anyone else out there going through similar situations feels less alone.

Another ‘dreams come true moment’ for the Tarin It Up Podcast with this conversation with Dovetail Workwear co-founder, Kate Day! Tarin had the absolute pleasure of meeting Kate last summer on a trip up to Washington. Tarin is a sales representative and ambassador for the brand, however, not every sales rep or ambassador gets the chance for in-person meetings, so this was an amazing opportunity – as was this chance to have Kate on the podcast!

We chat about how the brand was born and where it is heading with continuing to be pioneers not only in the women’s workwear niche but in women’s apparel in general. They are continuously working to provide women with the workwear they need by reading each and every review they receive and taking the feedback constructively. Listen in and don’t forget to check Dovetail, out for yourself!

One of my favorite things about having this podcast is getting to talk to my friends and share the things they are wildly passionate about and the amazing things they are doing. I met Alix in 2018 on a women’s mountain bike group ride. I couldn’t wait to try her amazing products sourced from right here in the Sierra Nevada from her company, Tahoe Petrichor.

To this day, Alix is still handmaking every one of her products herself. She has some very exciting things coming up including opportunities for her Releaf Rollie (my favorite product) to be clinically tested! Tune in to learn about her journey and amazing products. Check them out online here: https://www.tahoepetrichor.com/

Alix also just wrote a book! Adventure to Wellness: A Pain Management Playbook is an all-in-one gratitude journal, goal setter, pain symptom tracker, affirmation guide, and complementary alternative medicine workbook! This is an empowering self-paced wellness activity book that will give you science-based insight into vitamins, supplements, and herbal medicines as well as anti-inflammatory habits and transformative efforts to allow you to thrive and keep your pain in check. It is now available on Amazon, check it out! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CV1HG1V8/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1707157215&sr=8-1

Heather Kelly, founder of Heather’s Choice – lightweight, packable meals and snacks, joined Tarin for an inspiring conversation about her entrepreneurial journey. We chatted about her outdoor experiences, collegiate athlete life, eating psychology, and what eventually led her to start her own dehydrated food company in Anchorage, Alaska.

This is far beyond a backpacking meal company. With Heather’s background as a NCAA National Champion and CRCA/Pocock All-American in women’s rowing, a background in CrossFit, and as a raft guide, Heather knows how important fueling properly is. Heather’s Choice is on a mission to provide people with healthy, nutrient-dense food for any adventure or whatever everyday life throws at you. Fuel up on the trail, at work, after the gym, or whenever & wherever life takes you.

We are back again with another dose of T&A! We dive into expectations this week and how to manage them without getting your dreams dashed or being a negative newt if things don’t work out the way you thought. How do we learn from experiences that didn’t meet our expectations? How do we go into situations positively and not worry that our expectations won’t be met?

If you have tactics that help you manage expectations, please share them! We are all a work in progress and trying to figure out what works and doesn’t.

Catch up with Tarin and Amber about how their 2024 is starting! It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, but it is relatable. A new year can mean a clean slate, new goals, momentum…but some things are still out of our control and continue from the past year (or years). Life ebbs and flows, emotions ebb and flow, we’re taking it day by day!

Many of us have been in a situation that when you gotta go, you gotta go! Or when you gotta go, there is no where to drop trow without bearing all. This is where Gnara comes in! Gnara co-founder, Georgia Grace, got the idea for the GoFly – Gnara’s internationally patented zipper technology – while working as a glacier guide in Alaska. Frustrated by having to choose between tactical dehydration or the freezing hassle that was using the bathroom outside, she and eventually, a small team, set out to make the outdoors more accessible through innovative and inclusive design.

Gnara’s GoFly Tech has won the 2022 and 2023 Outdoor Retailer Awards, as well as Top Product Awards and recognition by Women’s Health, CNN, USA Today, GearJunkie, the U.S. Senate, Forbes, Blister, Outside Business Journal, and more. Listen to the full Gnara story in this episode and learn about where their future is heading!

Men aren’t the only ones who can appreciate a 2 stroke motor. That was apparent last January as Sierra Avalanche Center put on its first women’s level 1 motorized avalanche course. Taught by two extremely knowledgeable and badass women, Tasha Thomas and Margaret Wheeler. I was on a high after this course for weeks, not only did it refresh my avalanche education, it improved my riding soo much! I left that course with more insight and confidence in my riding ability than I ever could have expected. In this episode, we hear how these women got to where they are and the absolute power and magic that happens in women’s specific courses and gatherings.

Check out the upcoming courses these ladies will be teaching below!

Sierra Avalanche Center Courses:
Women’s Motorized Intro class – January 21st
Women’s Motorized Level 1- January 26th, 27th, & 28th
Women’s Motorized Intro class – February 25th (registration not yet open)
