Lauren’s Mom Talks About Raising Hikers and Staying on the Trail in Your 70s

We made it to episode 10!🥳

So many podcasts fail before they reach the tenth episode. I read that almost half of all new podcasts don’t even make it to episode 3, but I am still here, still sharing these incredible stories for some amazing women hikers!

And it’s also because of you, so THANK YOU for being here!

For my tenth episode, I wanted to do something special, so I asked my mom to come on and not only talk about hiking with me as a child (and obviously contributing to my love of the outdoors), but also share some tips on hiking as you get older (because she is almost 78 and still killing it on the trails!).

You can listen to the episode below or watch it on YouTube. If you watch it on YouTube, leave a comment about who inspired you to get outside, whether it was a family member, friend, or someone online.

Thanks again for all of your support. I have more episodes to share with you, so this won’t be the last!
