Well... We're 27 days into 2018 and finally taking a moment to reflect on 2017.

On today's podcast episode you'll hear a few women on our Ambassador team chat about 2017; some challenges that they faced, how they faced them, and little itty bitty pieces of wisdom that they learned.  I hope you enjoy today's show. -- Today’s show is brought to you by the Healthy Hiker Challenge!

Alyssa Feinberg: A Rad Young Entrepreneur

It's Women's History Month and earlier this week we celebrated International Women's Day so we thought it'd be fitting today to chat on the podcast about some women who have been influential in our lives and shaping our love for the outdoors. First up Rebecca talks about being inspired by the courage and strength of a few amazing women during one of her deployments to Iraq while serving in the Army. Then Jessica, Christina and Sarah share stories of women who have helped mentor them in the outdoors. We hope you enjoy our tribute to strong women today! --------- Become A Member  For the past few months, we’ve been struggling with something.

Here's To Strong Women

Hi Everyone Rebecca here with episode 065 of the HLAW Podcast.  We're weird here but this is our weirdest episode yet. Yesterday afternoon I was in my office trying to edit a podcast episode. My children were upstairs being super loud and obnoxious and it was actually starting to get on my nerves. I went upstairs to tell them to keep the noise down when I discovered that they had pitched their play tent in the living room, pulled their cross-country skis out of the gear closet, put their ski boots on their feet and were playing the game of "Polar Explorer." Naturally, my heart melted a wee bit and the podcast episode that I was editing got pushed aside because I knew then and there that I needed to have a heart-to-heart with my kiddos about the importance of stopping to play. This is far from a perfect episode. The audio is a bit scratchy, my 4-year-old farts in the middle of it and it was completely unscripted but in a way I like that rawness and honest of it and I hope you do too. Can you do us a favor and share this episode with  a busy Mom who might be feeling overwhelmed with life and need a little reminder to put down the technology to play? Thanks so much and enjoy my conversation with two wild and crazy kids.   To learn more about Hike Like A Woman visit us at https//www.hikelikeawoman.net & be sure to sign up for our weekly newsletter, it's rad! -->>https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/305077?v=6

Brutal Honesty From My Kids

Hi Everyone Rebecca here with episode 064 of the HLAW Podcast. I'm excited to have Marianne Hoffman on the show today. She is a HLAW Ambassador who recently relocated from Utah to Ecuador all for the sake of adventure. Marianne has also hiked the Camino, and she's an advocate for living life to the fullest no matter how old (or young) you are. I hope that you enjoy getting to know Marianne on today's episode. Can you do us a favor and share this episode with someone who might be craving adventure but struggling with feeling that they might be too old to enjoy it? Thanks so much and enjoy the show!
