E2T Adventures: Explore, Experience, Thrive Marci Nault

Mardi Fuller has hiked all 48 of the New Hampshire White Mountain 4000 footers, twice, once in three season (spring/summer/fall) and once in winter. But being a Black woman raised in New England, it hasn't always been an easy journey to simply get outside and experience her passions.

On this episode of the podcast, Mardi shares her experiences as a Black woman in the outdoors. She speaks to the historic invisibilization of Black people in outdoor recreation, breaks down the notion that Black people “just don’t do that,” and talks about finding community and getting into hiking.

To hear more of Mardi’s voice and her thoughts on connection with the outdoors, find her NRDC.org article, “A Place of Freedom and Belonging in the Great Outdoors,” here: https://www.nrdc.org/stories/place-freedom-and-belonging-great-outdoors?utm_source=in&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=Nature

Has your period ever held you back from experiencing the outdoors fully? Are you afraid to hike, kayak, camp, or plan that week long trip during your period? Many women accept these limitations because they’ve been conditioned to believe the outdoors is not a place for women on their periods . . .especially since there has never been gear created for personal hygiene during menstrual cycles in the outdoors.

E2T is on a mission to challenge this, because women belong in the outdoors, PERIOD.

On this episode, Marci talks with .PAC (“Period Pac”) founder, Jasmine Oeinck, a gear designer who broke into the industry to create a product specifically designed for periods in the outdoors. Unsatisfied with the lack of gear made for adventurous women who get their periods, she made .PAC, an ultralight, compact kit designed to make it easy to travel with and pack out your period needs.

Tune into E2T’s conversation with Jaz as we talk about breaking into the ‘boy’s club’, share our period stories, and find empowerment as women who explore.

You can get Jasmine’s .PAC in our store on e2tadventures.com

Pull up a chair, pour a glass of wine or tea, and relax as we talk creating your own rules for success and taking big risks.

After graduating college with a Business Administration/Computer Information Systems degree, Colleen Miniuk did what she thought was expected of her: she worked as a software engineer for Intel Corporation for almost 10 years. While the cube walls—and the paycheck—were safe, that’s not what she was built for. She walked out of Corporate America on February 28, 2007—a day she considers her Independence Day and celebrates like her birthday.

Now as a full-time outdoor photographer, writer, publisher, speaker, and instructor, Colleen spends over 100 days a year hiking, camping in her Alaskan Camper, stand-up paddleboarding, or rowing down a river—an unexpected course for a woman who spent 40 years checking all the boxes for the American Dream and fearing swimming in water where she couldn’t see her feet!

Through her photography, writings, and adventures, she hopes to help people, especially women, enjoy the Great Outdoors safely and comfortably. She’s written three guidebooks, including Photographing Acadia National Park: The Essential Guide to When, Where, and How after serving three times as an Artist-in-Residence with Acadia National Park. She writes an online photography advice column called “Dear Bubbles” and teaches photography workshops, women’s photography retreats (called “Sheography™”), webinars, and online critique sessions for camera clubs, organizations, and private clients across the U.S.

Over 100 years the bra hasn't changed much. Women spend $25 Billion/ Year on their bras and yet 80% are in the wrong size and are uncomfortable. For women in outdoor sports the struggle to find a bra that supports and is comfortable has been one more place that the gear industry has failed women and made them an after-thought.

Catherine Betts, a mom of two small children, who spent her athletic life frustrated and settling with her bras, set out to change the problems women face. With a sewing machine, old sports bras, ace bandages, and saran wrap she made her first prototype. Now the Betts Fit bra is the first of it's kind and with her business partner Danielle Rees they are on a mission to change the way women are supported.

Marci Nault discusses with both owners what it takes to try to change an industry being self-funded, and why women should no longer settle for a bra that hurts their backs, necks, and that makes them uncomfortable. 

Click here to buy Betts Fit Bras and support these incredible women while you support yourself and more female gear designers. 10% of all E2T profits go to the Pay it Forward Grant.
