    Until next time, we’ll see you out there (Outdoor Diary)

    Did you know I’m a journalist? I mean, you probably do because I mention it in the intro of many episodes of Humans Outside. But you probably didn’t know I’m launching a local nonprofit newspaper. It’s an all-consuming project, and going outside has been key to helping me get it off the ground. Going outside daily has also been key to helping me understand how to manage my time, how to prioritize what’s important to me, how to make all of it happen in one day. But it’s also taught me that the world is full of natural beginnings and endings as a part of the seasons. Listen now.

    The power of ‘yes’ and following your gut to outdoor adventures (Mimi Zieman, author, doctor and outdoor adventurer)

    What happens if you say "yes" to just one adventure or step out of your comfort zone? Maybe you'll create a single unforgettable experience. Or maybe that "yes" will lead you down a path where you encounter more interesting (and maybe a little scary) ideas and opportunities. That's what today's guest, author and physician Mimi Zieman, found when she stepped out of her comfort zone in New York City to try something new. From the streets of the city to the base camp of Mt. Everest, Mimi discovered how saying yes to ideas and taking up space in the world can lead to a lifetime of growth. In this episode, Mimi takes us on her journey from "yes" to Everest and gives us tips for finding our own space by following the power of that one word. Listen now.

    388: This is the best gift of my outdoor habit (Outdoor Diary)

    There are a lot of reasons to spend time in nature, but as I reflect back on all of the things I’ve learned by heading outside every day for more than 2,500 days in a row, some takeaways stick out more than others. The biggest thing I’ve learned by spending time outside is also both my favorite lesson and the thing I least expected. What is it? Listen now!

    The marvel of nature reclaiming everything, including me (Outdoor Diary)

    There’s something both comforting and amazing about the way nature takes the reigns no matter what happens. During a recent walk in the woods, I saw startling new growth on top of recent harm, and it was just the reminder I needed about nature’s power to reclaim itself and me. Maybe it’s a reminder you need, too. Listen now!

    Chasing your hard and honoring your why through tough stuff outside (Emily Halnon, author and ultrarunner)

    No matter how you define “hard,” heading outside offers plenty of chances to tackle it. Many people who choose to tackle hard stuff outside are pushed to do so to honor some kind of “why.” For some of us, that “why” is health or to push our own personal boundaries. For others, the “why” is on behalf of someone else. Ultrarunner Emily Halnon’s “why” has everything to do with her mom, who died from an aggressive form of cancer in early 2020. To honor her she headed out to tackle a major challenge running on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It’s a story she’s now shared in her new book “To The Gorge.” Through her journey, she learned the power of moving through hard stuff. In this episode you’ll hear Emily share the things she’s learned through that journey and how you can make yourself do hard things outside, too.   Connect with this episode: Read Emily Halnon’s new book, To The Gorge (affiliate link) Visit Emily’s website Follow Emily on Instagram Join the Humans Outside Challenge Follow Humans Outside on Instagram Follow Humans Outside on Facebook Some of the good stuff: [4:06] Emily Halnon’s favorite outdoor space [5:36] How Emily became someone who likes to go outside [7:05] How Emily’s mom inspired her running career [10:29] All about Andrea Halnon’s adventurous life [15:27] The grief and grit in running across Oregon [22:37] How to get mentally tough to prepare for a mega run [30:01] Why hard stuff outside helps us prepare for life's challenges.

    It sounds like late spring out there and I love it (Outdoor Diary)

    There’s something special about the way spring sounds in Alaska. Maybe it’s how dramatic the experience is as compared to the sounds of winter. Maybe it’s that they’re happy sounds that I can hear through my windows. Maybe it’s that the weather is so much nicer than it had been, that I’m outside more to hear sounds at all. Whatever the reason, I love the outdoor symphony. Here’s what I’ve been noticing. Listen now.

[03:31] Not birds but still souds [04:04] OK, winter has sounds, too

    When I’m feeling overwhelmed, this counterintuitive outdoor step helps (Outdoor Diary)

    I do it to myself and over and over again. That feeling of overwhelm sneaks right in, and it’s entirely because of my own poor choices. (You would think I’d learn my lesson, but I have not.) So when the going gets crowed, what do I do? I think you’re probably going to guess. But the wild thing is just how much adding more of it to my schedule helps. Listen now. Connect with this episode: Join the Humans Outside Challenge Follow Humans Outside on Instagram Follow Humans Outside on Facebook Some of the good stuff: [00:23] Yeah, OK I do this to myself [01:17] We know the signs -- truly [01:32] Maybe I could do this before [02:25] This is the part where we come up with a solution [02:43] When, in fact, the real solution is this one that doesn’t make any sense. [03:33] The reason it helps? Priorities.
