The best classroom I have ever been in has no walls. 🌿

I just finished teaching a Wilderness First Aid course to the Utah DNR and whenever we could, we took the lessons outside. The scenarios. The real work. All of it done in the environment where it actually matters.

And something happens when you learn that way.

You stop going through the motions. You start actually feeling it. The ground beneath you, the sun overhead, the pressure of a real scenario playing out in real time — it wakes something up in people that a whiteboard and a PowerPoint simply cannot touch.

That is the power of experiential learning. It is not just information. It is understanding. It lands differently when you are doing the work in the environment it was designed for.

But here is what I love most about facilitating this way. It builds something beyond skill. People start trusting each other. They communicate. They figure it out together. A group of individuals becomes a community in real time right in front of you.

That is what Traverse Beyond is built on. The belief that experience is the most powerful teacher there is.

Whether that is on a mountain in Mongolia, a jungle in Rwanda or the Utah backcountry with a team of people learning to show up for each other.

The outdoors is not just a setting. It is the lesson. 🏔️

She has never once told me to play it safe. 🤍

Well. Once. When I told her I was moving to Oman to guide trips and didn’t know a single soul there or where I was even going to be living. I just had a 1 way flight. 😅

And honestly? Fair enough, Mom.

But that was it. One time. Every single other crazy idea, every leap of faith, every flight to somewhere most people can’t find on a map — she never blinked.

My mother is the kindest, most thoughtful woman I know. And somewhere in between all of that warmth and grace she raised a daughter who books flights to Mongolia, leads trips to Rwanda and says yes to adventures that make most people raise an eyebrow.

She has had my back through all of it. When I doubt myself she is already in my corner cheering me on. When I can’t see what’s next she somehow always believes I will figure it out.

That kind of support is not small. It is everything.
And the best part? She is down for an adventure herself. Open to new experiences. Present for all of it. She didn’t just raise me to go out and live fully. She lives that way too.

I would not be the woman I am without her. I would not have the courage to keep going without her.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom. I love you so much. 🌍🤍

I said yes. And the day of I was fully prepared to bail. Then went anyway. 😂

A client’s black tie event on a yacht in New York City. A boat full of people I didn’t know in an industry that I am completely unfamiliar with… beauty. 😂

Honestly? I felt completely out of my world.

But here is the thing about experiences. It is not always the big adventures that stretch you. Sometimes it is the unexpected invitation. The event that feels just slightly off from your normal. The room where you walk in alone and have to figure it out.

Those ones count just as much.

I got dressed up. I got on that yacht. I watched the New York City skyline from the water and it was stunning. I met some genuinely cool women. And I got to show up for a client I really care about.

All of it happened because I didn’t talk myself out of it at the last minute.

Say yes. Go anyway. The discomfort is temporary. The experience stays with you. 🌊🖤

Something is building. And I can feel it. 🔥

I have been on stages lately sharing my story and something happens every single time I step up to that microphone. The room gets quiet. People lean in. And I am reminded that the experiences I have collected over a lifetime of saying yes to the world — Mongolia, Rwanda, the places still to come — are not just mine. They belong to every person in that room who has ever dreamed of doing something that scared them a little.

That is the magic of telling your story out loud. It gives other people permission to tell theirs.

And right now? Traverse Beyond is alive in a way that genuinely takes my breath away.

Trips for women that go beyond the itinerary. Destinations that change you at the cellular level. A partnership with Kids Play International that ties purposeful travel to something so much bigger than ourselves. Speaking engagements that are opening doors I did not even know to knock on.

This is what I built Traverse Beyond for. Not just to see the world. But to help others experience it in a way that stays with them forever.

I am just getting started. And I could not be more energized about what is coming. 🌍✈️

If you have been watching from the sidelines, now is a great time to step in. Follow along. Reach out. Come with me. 🤍

Most people think they’re taking responsibility.

But if you’re explaining, justifying, or blaming…
you’re not actually taking it.

For a long time, I didn’t see this in myself.

I would say things like
“Well that happened because…”
or
“I didn’t follow through because…”

And it felt like responsibility.
But it wasn’t.

It was subtle avoidance.

Real responsibility sounds different.
It sounds like:

I didn’t follow through.
I avoided that conversation.
I created that result.

No story. No defense. No blame.

There’s a shift I talk about in this episode:

👉 Life is happening to me
vs
👉 Life is happening by me

When it’s happening to you, you’re at the effect of everything.
When it’s happening by you, you start to take your power back.

And here’s the part most people don’t talk about…

There’s usually a payoff for not taking responsibility.

You might get to:
• avoid fear
• stay comfortable
• hold onto control
• keep a familiar story

So the question becomes:

What is actually at risk if I take full responsibility?

In the newest episode of Explore Beyond, I break down what full responsibility really looks like and how to shift into it in real life.

I closed my eyes. ☀️

Just for a minute. Sitting outside, in the sun, the kind of warm spring day that feels like a gift after a long winter.

And I thought about how easy it is to stop noticing this. How spring becomes summer and the warm weather just becomes the weather. How a beautiful day becomes background noise to a full calendar and a long to do list.

How many perfect moments have I walked right past because I was already thinking about the next thing?

So today I just sat. No phone. No agenda. Just the sun on my face and the sound of the world doing its thing around me.

It cost nothing. It took five minutes. And I felt like a completely different person afterward.

I think this is the practice. Not a big grand gesture. Not a trip or a plan or a resolution. Just the intentional decision to pause. To notice. To let a perfectly ordinary moment be enough.

The day is beautiful. It will not wait for you to be less busy.

Close your eyes. Feel it. 🤍

This woman came to the hospital to meet me the night I was born. In a snowstorm. 🌨️

Meet Roz. She’s 83. She has known my family longer than I have been alive and last night we sat down to dinner in New York City after walking miles around this town together.

Miles. At 83. In New York City. Keep up if you can. 😄

Roz travels. She has taken her grandkids all over the world. She takes care of herself. She shows up. She is present. She squeezes every single drop out of every single day and she makes it look effortless.

She is, without question, a certified badass. 🙌

I sat across from her at dinner last night and thought — this is exactly who I want to be at 83. Not slowing down. Not shrinking. Still going. Still curious. Still living.

Roz is the living proof that age is not a finish line. It’s just another reason to book the trip, walk the miles and show up for the people you love.

My dear friend, I hope you know how much you mean to me and how deeply you inspire me. 🤍

Don’t stop. Take care of yourself. Say yes. Live each day like Roz. 🌍✨

To every woman who ever booked the trip anyway. 🌍

Who packed the bag when people said it wasn’t safe. Who led the group when no one expected her to. Who stood on top of a mountain, or in the middle of a foreign city, and thought I belong exactly here.

Today is for you.

International Women’s Day isn’t just a date on the calendar for me. It’s a reminder that the women who shaped me most were the ones who moved. Who explored. Who said yes when the world gave them a hundred reasons to say no.

To the women reading this, whether you’ve crossed an ocean or you’re still dreaming about it, your curiosity is your superpower. Your courage to go is your legacy.
The world is waiting for you. And it is so much better when you show up in it. ✈️

Happy International Women’s Day.

I was on horseback in the middle of Mongolia when the sky turned dark. 🐴

No tree line. No shelter. Just open steppe in every direction and a sky that goes on forever. We got the tents down, ducked inside, and waited. It wasn’t scary - it was community and conversation waiting out the storm.

And then came the quiet.

That specific quiet that only exists after the rain in a place with no city noise, no traffic, no hum of anything man-made. Just the earth, exhaling.

I unzipped the tent ducked out and there it was. A perfect rainbow, sitting right behind our horse like nature had planned it all along. 🌈

We hiked to the top of the nearest hill after that. And when we got up there and turned around — nothing. In every direction. Just this ancient, treeless, endlessly wild landscape that makes you realize how small you are — and how alive that actually feels.

This is the thing that no itinerary can promise and no guidebook can prepare you for. It just happens. Because you showed up. Because you said yes.

I’m now leading trips for adults and I want to know — where do you want to go? 🌍

Are you ready for these kind of experiences? Drop it in the comments or slide into my DMs. Let’s go somewhere that stays with you forever. ✈️

56 permits. Now 12. In one week. 🦍

Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park just dropped availability for our trekking day dramatically — and if you’ve been sitting on this, now is the moment to stop thinking and start packing. 🌍

This trip was already special. We’re going gorilla trekking in one of the most protected, sacred wildlife experiences on the planet. We’re immersing in the local culture, the food, the people — the Rwanda you don’t see on a highlight reel. And we’re partnering with Kids Play International, a nonprofit founded by my dear friend that uses the power of play to uplift children in underserved communities around the world. 🤝

Travel that moves you. Travel that means something.

But those 12 permits? They will be gone. It’s not a matter of if — it’s when. DM me today if you want in.

Let’s go do something unforgettable. ✈️🦍
