Hi, I'm Rebecca 👋 I'm a guide, ski instructor, Army Veteran, cancer survivor, and a big fan of adventure travel. I started HLAW in 2014 because I wanted to smash barriers to entry into the outdoors and help women explore. I'd love to have you join me on an adventure. Please reach out if you have any questions 📧 rebecca@hikelikeawoman.com

Taking a vacation changed everything. After two weeks away—first helping my mom launch her book in Montana, then mountain biking through the red deserts of Moab with my family—I returned with a revelation that's transformed my approach to business and life.
For years, I've resisted the "busy" badge of honor our culture celebrates. My mantra became "if it's not a hell yeah, then it's a hell no," yet I still found myself caught in the quantity trap. I was pushing out weekly newsletters that felt like inbox pollution, cranking out multiple YouTube videos weekly because "experts" said it would boost my channel, and filling my calendar with back-to-back adventure trips.
Then came the experiment that changed everything. Instead of producing two quick videos, I poured my energy into creating one exceptional video about Nalgene water bottles. After 24 hours of silence, it exploded—7,000+ views and 200+ comments within a week. The message was clear: quality creates exponential results through deeper connection.
This revelation sparked meaningful changes at Hike Like A Woman. Monthly newsletters will replace weekly ones. YouTube videos will come once weekly, crafted with care. And I'm reducing our 2026 guided trips to three extraordinary adventures—Scotland's West Highland Trail, Tour de Mont Blanc, and Kilimanjaro—allowing me to truly know the women joining these journeys.
What might happen if you created more white space in your life? If you're feeling overwhelmed by commitments, try slowing down. Focus on excellence over frequency. Sometimes the path to greater impact requires doing less, but doing it extraordinarily well. Ready to join me on this journey to quality over quantity?
Imagine a life where the unexpected becomes the norm—where deconstructing deeply ingrained beliefs, battling nature's fury, and facing personal adversities are just the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Our host invites you into the intimate spaces of their life story, from the heights of training for the Olympics and serving as an army officer in Iraq, to summiting Mount Kilimanjaro and surviving a tornado. This episode isn't just a recount of events; it's a tapestry woven with resilience, introspection, and the courage to redefine dreams when faced with the unthinkable. Through the lens of their latest creative endeavor, the Substack "Go Hike Like a Woman," the host shares a poignant tale that challenges the very essence of ambition and self-worth.
Set against the backdrop of a snowy November in Montana, our host recounts a pivotal moment when their ski coach's harsh words thrust them into a confrontation with doubt and disappointment. What does it truly take to chase dreams that seem just out of reach? Discover how this moment of vulnerability became a catalyst for reflection and growth, and how it ultimately shaped their journey. Join us to explore stories that transcend the ordinary, offering a raw glimpse into what it means to pursue passions relentlessly, even when the world says otherwise. This episode is a testament to the power of storytelling, connection, and the unyielding spirit to keep moving forward.
Have you ever felt torn between wanting to help someone and needing to set boundaries? I recently found myself in this exact predicament when a woman flooded my Instagram with questions about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Although she wasn’t part of our Hike Like a Woman adventure, my instinct to be helpful took over, and I ended up sacrificing time meant for my committed clients. This situation forced me to confront the difficult balance between generosity and responsibility, and the guilt that comes with being a people pleaser.
Join me as I explore the challenges and lessons learned from this experience. We dive into the importance of prioritizing those who have invested in our journey and the need to protect our time for those commitments. In this candid discussion, I share insights on managing the delicate act of setting boundaries while maintaining a spirit of helpfulness. Discover how acknowledging one's limits can lead to healthier personal and professional relationships, and learn strategies for achieving that elusive balance.
Snowflakes are falling outside my office window, tempting me to hit the trails for some cross-country skiing. But today, my heart is set on sharing the whirlwind adventure of our recent group trip to Iceland with you. From the chaos of delayed flights due to an unexpected storm to the breathtaking sights of the Golden Circle and the colossal glaciers, Iceland offered a canvas of experiences that were both challenging and exhilarating. Join me as I recount our journey, complete with tales of our unique guide, Thor, whose grumpy charm added a quirky twist to our travels.
Looking ahead, I'm thrilled to announce a new collaboration that promises to elevate future trips, ensuring they align more closely with the Hike Like a Woman spirit we cherish. Our Iceland trip taught us valuable lessons, and we're using this knowledge to enhance upcoming adventures, including our much-anticipated Kilimanjaro climb. As we gear up for this epic trek, I'm in constant dialogue with our community, tackling challenges like keeping water bottles from freezing on summit night. Let's embrace the thrill of exploration together, and thank you for being a part of our adventure-loving family!
Imagine standing under the enchanting glow of the Northern Lights, or conquering the majestic peaks of Kilimanjaro, all while being part of a community that values your voice in crafting the perfect adventure.
That's what we did with our mega big survey and on today's show I share where we'll be headed in 2026.
What if the key to unlocking your true potential lies in the power of shared adventure? Join me, Rebecca, as we embark on a journey through the transformative world of women's travel groups. Together, we'll explore how these experiences are not just about exploring new destinations but about discovering our inner strength and resilience. From the exhilaration of conquering physical challenges with a supportive tribe to the camaraderie that comes with navigating foreign cities together, each trip is a testament to the power of collective courage. Imagine the thrill of reaching new heights, literally and figuratively, as you hike a steep trail with cheers of encouragement echoing behind you.
These group trips are a celebration of sisterhood, where laughter and heartfelt conversations around campfires forge connections stronger than any guidebook narrative. Revel in the freedom to be unapologetically yourself, unburdened by societal expectations, as you bond with like-minded women who share your passion for adventure and authenticity. Whether you're summiting Kilimanjaro or sharing stories under a starlit sky, these moments nurture a sense of belonging and empowerment. Listen in as we uncover how stepping out of our comfort zones in these magical ways can lead to personal growth and lifelong friendships.
