Add to that pressure …the intimation to start something physical that is beyond one’s current comfort zone. That could completely crush a well-intentioned woman’s spirit. Join Julie as she speaks with Monique Redmon who founded Hikerbabes, a hiking community and movement, that supports thousands of women around the globe to #optoutside and move…regardless of age, skill, and abilities. Despite the differences in abilities and capabilities, learn how Hikerbabes welcomes and empowers all women to participate in hiking opportunities and embraces support, friendship, and solidarity … on and off the trail. Here are the things to expect in the episode: • What role does emotional support and encouragement play in helping women to make significant life changes? • Why is getting outside your comfort zone essential for personal growth and development? • How the right community creates friendships that encourage and support personal goals without pressure, comparison, or competition. : Monique Redmon is the Founder of the Hikerbabes Community.
