Message From Wanda:

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that sometimes what we’re searching for is peace. I found mine in the quiet miles, under the open skies, surrounded by God’s creation, and putting one foot in front of the other.

And if my story encourages someone to get outside, believe in themselves, and find their own peace along the way, then every mile has been worth it.

Episode Description:

In Part 2 of my conversation with Wanda, we move beyond the miles and into the mindset that has kept her exploring, growing, and embracing adventure through every season of life.

We talk about overcoming fear, working through self-doubt, knowing when to push forward and when turning back is the smartest decision. Wanda shares how she prepares for each trip, the hikes that have left the biggest mark on her life, and why some of the quietest miles often become the most meaningful.

This episode is also packed with encouragement for anyone who's ever thought, "Maybe I'm too old," or "Maybe I can't do this." Wanda offers honest advice for women considering backpacking, talks about the importance of community, and shares the habits that have helped her stay active for years.

Most of all, we explore what the trail has taught her about aging, resilience, and living with purpose. Her story is a reminder that adventure doesn't have an expiration date, it simply evolves with us.

If you've ever needed a little inspiration to take that first step, chase a new goal, or believe you're capable of more than you think, this conversation is for you.

Join us for Part 2 with Wanda, and discover why the greatest journeys aren't measured by miles, they're measured by the person you become along the way.
