Women Of The Wild – Details, episodes & analysis

Supported by Gnarly Nutrition.

Sunny Stroeer is back! This time, Sunny and I share a discussion about our recent adventure on a route that we nicknamed the "Magic Trail." What the heck is the Magic Trail? It's obscure. It's rugged. It's remote. And it's fantastic.

In this episode, Sunny and I chat about our experiences on this seemingly magical route, how we went about our decision-making processes, our risk assessments, drinking questionable water, changing our perspectives, and why we chase big things.

Get ready to be stabbed by cacti and bivvy under the stars with us as we recount a wild experience on the Tuckup Trail.

Emily is an endurance athlete with a proclivity for adrenaline-packed adventures. You can find her free-soloing rock of somewhat questionable quality, running 100-mile races, or taking off on lengthy and extremely remote backpacking trips involving the need for navigational prowess.

Emily is rarely without her furry best friend, Jolly, a golden retriever who loves adventuring just as much as Emily does.

In this episode, we dive into Emily’s adventures, but also discuss our tendency as humans to compare ourselves to others, and managing the negative feelings that come from this.

She's candid, kind, so much fun, and truly inspiring.

If you’ve ever considered solo outdoor adventures, you’ve also probably also considered the dangers that might be lurking out there. In this episode of WOTW, I speak with Nicole Snell. Nicole is the CEO of Girls Fight Back, an organization that uses personal safety and self-defense as a way to empower women and girls in the outdoors. She’s a self-defense instructor and has found her passion in helping women gain confidence in the outdoors by teaching them self-defense tactics. Nicole has traveled the world as a speaker and self-defense teacher and enjoys solo adventures in the wild. In this episode, we chat about finding your voice, standing up for yourself, and listening to your intuition, as well as self-defense tactics you can implement now.

Nutrition is an important part of your training and can help you reach your athletic goals, yet many of us overlook it. It's easy to do with our busy lives. In this episode, Kylee and I talk about nutrition plans and training, fad diets, protein intake, sugar, what you can do about gut bombs and... ahem... the runner's runs.

Kylee Van Horn knows her stuff. Not only did she grow up as a competitive runner, but she decided to become a registered dietary nutritionist in order to give back to the running community that she loves so much. Kylee owns and operates Fly Nutrition, where she helps athletes optimize their training through nutrition. She currently works with athletes of all kinds, from through-hikers to ultra-runners and everything in between.
