    Year-End Reflections: Wins, Lessons & Resetting for 2026

    A long-overdue T & A catch-up just in time for the holidays. Amber and I reflect on a heavy year, injuries, burnout, fear, growth, and the quiet wins that don’t always feel tangible in the moment. From surgery recovery and relearning how to trust your body, to redefining success, letting go of expectations, and looking ahead to 2026 with honesty instead of pressure, this one’s real, reflective, and very us. Highlights💬 A true year-end TNA life dump 🦵 Amber’s knee surgery, recovery, and the mental side of healing 🧠 Retraining your brain after injury (and burnout) 🧘‍♀️ Meeting your body where it’s at — yoga, movement, and patience 💥 Why failing, losing, and struggling actually teach us more 🚐 Road to Roam, in-person connections & the power of non-tangible wins 🔥 Letting go of perfection before “being ready” 🐍 The Year of the Snake: shedding old skin & entering a new era ✨ Gentle intentions for 2026 (not resolutions) Links & Love 🧵 Huge thanks to NoSo Patches for supporting the podcast these past few months - use code FLAIRINITUP for 15% off (P.S. this is not an affiliate link!

    Fueling for Rides & Real Life with Debbie Milne of Supra Bars

    Nutrition talk that’s actually for real life (and real bodies). 💛 In this episode, I’m joined by Debbie Milne, the founder of Supra Bars—a small-batch, whole-food nutrition bar built around gut health, fiber, and ingredients that do more than just “hit your macros.” We get into fueling for movement (without the overwhelm), why “less ingredients” isn’t always better, and the mindset shift from restricting to supporting your body. Highlights 🏔️ Debbie’s “this place feels like home” moment (hello, Greenville, South Carolina + Blue Ridge foothills) 🍫 What Supra Bars actually are: functional food bars designed to go beyond basic sports nutrition 🌿 Gut health basics in plain English: fiber feeds your beneficial gut bacteria (not just probiotics!) 🥜 Ingredient philosophy: more real-food ingredients can be a good thing, when you can actually recognize them 🧠 The bigger convo: under-fueling, women’s health, and why “you can look fine” and still be underfed (RED-S comes up) Links & Love 🌐 Supra Bars: superbars.com ✉️ Email: suprabars@gmail.com 🛒 Try single bars via Fuel Goods (P.S. they’re women-owned!) 📸 Instagram: @tarin.it.up.podcast & suprabars 💌 Newsletter: https://tarinitup.myflodesk.com/tarinitup 🩹 Podcast Sponsor – NoSo Patches: ⁠nosopatches.com⁠ — use code FLAIRINTUP for 15% off

    For Women Who Can’t Sit Still: The Evolution of The Retreat Co.

    In today’s episode, I’m cozied up in person at the new Evo Hotel / Sierra Surf Club in Tahoe City with Charlotte Lilley, founder of The Retreat Co. We catch up on how The Ski Retreat evolved into an adventure company for women who can’t sit still, what it really takes to rebrand and grow, and the big, exciting leap she and her husband are taking with land for a future retreat space (!!). We talk skiing, camping, corporate girlies who need more than another PowerPoint off-site, and why connection, both IRL and virtual, still matters more than ever. 🌟 Episode Highlights 🏂 How The Ski Retreat started in 2018 and grew into The Retreat Co. 🤝 The power of women-only trips: most guests arrive solo, leave with new ski buddies, camp friends, and a wider circle. 🧳 Expanding beyond winter: Camp Retreats, Work Retreats, and blending in-person + virtual experiences for busy women and corporate teams. 🌸 BIG NEWS: Charlotte and her husband are in escrow on land between Truckee and Grass Valley to build a physical retreat space—think camping, glamping, long-table garden dinners, weddings, and flower-farm vibes. 💼 Real talk on being a solopreneur: VAs, scaling, white space between seasons, and not trying to be everything to everyone. 🔗 Links & Love 🎧 The Retreat Co. 📸 IG: @_theretreatcompany 🩹 Podcast Sponsor – NoSo Patches: nosopatches.com — use code FLAIRINTUP for 15% off 🎙️ Hang with me on IG: @tarin.it.up.podcast 💌 Subscribe to my newsletter for episodes, events & behind-the-scenes life: https://tarinitup.myflodesk.com/tarinitup

    Tiny Living, Big Life: Upcycled Bike Jewelry & Creating Your Own Path

    Ever wonder what it’s really like to run a business out of a tiny camper? This week, I’m joined by Alix from ABD Culture, a fellow tiny-living, mountain-town woman who’s turning blown-out bike tubes into badass jewelry. We get into the unfiltered reality of tiny living: wood stoves, frozen pipes, limited power, cozy chaos, and why we both still love this weird, off-grid-ish lifestyle. We also talk about building “passion businesses” in our 30s and 40s, navigating the comparison spiral, redefining success, and how showing up imperfectly (yes, sometimes crying at the gym) is still showing up. If you’re craving a reminder that your unconventional choices are valid, this episode will hit home. 💛 Highlights 🏕️ Real-deal tiny living: fifth wheels, toy haulers, wood stoves & the joy/challenge of small-space life 🔌 Wattage, propane & priorities: how tiny living changes what you bring into your world 🚲 How Alix turned popped bike tubes into laser-cut, upcycled jewelry 🔁 Upcycling + sustainability: giving tubes a longer life without perfection pressure 💭 Redefining success in your 30s/40s: freedom, identity, and passion-driven work 😭💪 Showing up imperfectly: emotions as a superpower, consistency that evolves, and the courage to keep going Links & Love Shop ABD: https://alixandrabarron.com/ Follow ABD: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/abdculture/⁠ 🎧 @tarin.it.up.podcast ✉️ Newsletter — https://tarinitup.myflodesk.com/tarinitup 🌐 Website — www.tarinitup.com And an ongoing thank you to ⁠NoSo Patches⁠ for supporting every episode of Tarin It Up. 💛 Don't forget to use code FLAIRINITUP for 15% off your order!

    Riding, Access & Showing Up with Vanessa Hauswald of She Sends

    We’re talking bikes, bold moves, and getting more girls and women on dirt. 🚵‍♀️ In this episode, I’m joined by Vanessa Hauswald of the She Sends Foundation, a nonprofit launched with World Champion Kate Courtney to connect, support, and inspire women and girls through cycling. We get into access, perception, funding, and why “real mountain biking” doesn’t have to mean epic four-hour rides in the high alpine. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite “count” as a cyclist—or you care about the next generation of riders—this one’s for you. 💛 Highlights Why SheSends exists and how it’s getting real dollars to riders and grassroots orgs lifting up girls and womenThe three pillars: development, dominance, and diversity and why none of them can stand aloneRethinking what “counts” as mountain biking: urban dirt, school fields, tiny bike parks, and access beyond mountain townsThe reality that women are still only ~25% of cycling participation Vanessa’s cancer story, facing a one-year prognosis, and how that shifted her willingness to make bold life and career movesConcrete ways to support: donating, joining rides, amplifying grants, or just showing up locally for girls’ and women’s cycling 🌱Links & Love 🔗 SheSends Foundation: shesendsfoundation.org SheSends Instagram: @shesendsfoundation SheSends Strava Club: SheSends Cycling Club Kate Courtney’s Monday Mantra Substack Tarin It Up Podcast Instagram: @tarin.it.up.podcast Subscribe to the newsletter: https://tarinitup.myflodesk.com/tarinitup Website: tarinitup.com Partner Thanks 🙌 Huge thank you to Vanessa Hauswald and the SheSends Foundation for the work they’re doing to get more girls and women on bikes, and for sharing so openly in this conversation.

    Sisters in the Backcountry: VNTRbirds Founders on Safety, Skills, and Community

    This week I’m hanging out with sisters Kelley and Leanne Wren, the co-owners of VNTRbirds — an outdoor education and adventure company for women, femme, and non-binary folks. We get into their log-cabin-in-Pennsylvania upbringing, competitive snowboard days, how VNTRbirds was born, and what it really takes to build a legit avalanche + mountain bike education business in a male-dominated space. If you’ve ever felt “not good enough” to belong in a mountain town or on a trail, this one’s for you. 💛 Highlights 📝 🏂 Early snowboard rebellion: hiking resorts when snowboards weren’t allowed + racing days with dad waxing gear + cooking hot dogs in the lot 💻 How Thumbs Up Birds evolved into VNTRbirds 🎿 What VNTRbirds actually does: avalanche education from true beginner to AIARE certifications, plus summer mountain bike skills clinics 😬 Starting small: donation-based clinics, group rides that were sometimes just the two of them, and slowly growing to 30-rider pedal parties 🚀 The power of community-focused creativity: pedal parties, the rip-roaring mini enduro, and the all-femme Venture Out backcountry festival 🧠 Mentorship + leadership: creating pathways for women, femme, non-binary, and trans folks to become educators and guides 💸 Over $20K/year in scholarships, partial scholarships, and why they hustle so hard to remove financial barriers to avalanche ed + MTB coaching Links & Love 💌 🌐 VNTRbirds: vntrbirds.com 📸 VNTRbirds on IG: @vntrbirds 🎙 Tarin It Up on IG: @tarin.it.up.podcast 📨 Join my newsletter: https://tarinitup.myflodesk.com/tarinitup ✨ ⁠⁠⁠nosopatches.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ — use code FLAIRINITUP for 15% off Want to support more women, femme, and non-binary leaders in the outdoors?

    How Evelyn & Bobbie Builds Bras for Women with Shit to Do

    I sat down with Bree McKeen, founder & CEO of Evelyn & Bobbie, to talk boobs, comfort, and building better gear for everyday life. From a patented underwire alternative to 270 real fit models (!!!), Bree is rewriting the bra playbook so we can get on with our day, comfortably and confidently. Highlights: 🧠 Engineering > underwire: How E&B’s soft “EV Core” structure lifts, shapes, and supports—no metal required. 👟 Adaptive fit: One bra that flexes with weight & hormone changes (and handles yoga → meetings → errands). 🧍‍♀️ Designed on real bodies: 270 fit models across sizes, heights, skin types, and life stages. 🧷 Pro-posture design: Why racerbacks all day can strain traps—and how to move support to your core. 🐄 Ranch life → retail life: Bree’s homestead-to-boardroom journey (and why community matters). 🛍️ Where to find E&B: Online + hundreds of boutiques, Nordstrom now; Bloomingdale’s coming. 🫶 Guarantee & pricing: Everyday bras (~$98) with a wear-it, wash-it satisfaction guarantee; $30 off with email signup. 🔜 What’s next: “Busty” line for small-band/large-cup (think 32G–J) and careful, slow-craft sports bras.
