In this episode, I’m sitting down with Sunny, a past student of the Adventurous Reinvention Experience, to talk about what it looked like for her to step into leadership in the outdoors and become the kind of woman she didn’t always see represented there.
Sunny didn’t come into this experience feeling like she fully belonged in the outdoor space. She came in with curiosity, a desire to grow, and a deeper calling to build community and lead in a way that felt aligned with who she is.
And instead of waiting to feel ready… she chose to step forward anyway.
Inside this conversation, we talk about:
- What her first backpacking experience was really like (and why it pushed her to want more)
- The desire to become a leader and what that actually means in the outdoors
- Navigating the fear of not belonging and choosing to show up anyway
- How pushing herself physically on the trail unlocked a deeper level of self-trust
- The power of community, vulnerability, and collective support in hard moments
- What it looks like to trust your intuition and honor your own pace
- How this experience shaped the way she leads and shows up in her life now
This is such a powerful example of what becomes possible when you stop waiting to feel ready… and start becoming the person you needed.
