This is the last episode of She Explores. In it, we say farewell, reflect on endings, and invite past guests of the show to share the lessons theyâve learned in the outdoors over the last few years. Through these womenâs stories, weâre reminded how important it is to have the space we need to show up as ourselves when weâre spending time outside.
Thank you to everyone who has touched the show over the years: the listeners, our guests, our collaborators, and our advertisers. Itâs been an honor to hold your stories.

Olivia VanDammeâs hope is that one day, in her older years, sheâll be at the beach, covered in seaweed and still contributing to community science. Olivia has always felt comforted, alive, and happy in the ocean. And as an educator, poet, singer, environmentalist, surfer, and more â Olivia celebrates that in everything she does.
On this episode, Olivia shares an original poem, âTu Perteneces! Nadar Mijaâ which helps paint the picture of the role the ocean plays in her life â all while bursting with song and joy. We learn how Olivia straddles worlds by virtue of being herself, why she loves geography, how being an educator has informed her environmental life, and how we can all get involved in collecting data that helps shape the future of the lands and waters we recreate in.

Eden Elgeti is a wild and pool swimmer in the United Kingdom, and is featured in our new book, Women and Water. The first line in her profile is, âI often joke through winter that Iâd be more than happy to not swim and just turn up for the post-swim coffee and cake.â Of course, she goes on to share that she has always swum when given the opportunity, and itâs taken her so many places, literally and figuratively.
Thereâs something so beautiful about Edenâs relationship with the water. Itâs her constant companion. Thereâs a lot that we admire about Eden - her ability to choose whatâs right for her, and to keep checking in to make sure sheâs still on the same page with herself. In this episode, we talk about how swimming shows up for her today (and vice versa), why sheâs taken a break from her social media account â@thetransgenderswimmerâ and the community sheâs found swimming in London.

Bonnie Tsui's book, Why We Swim, dropped at a time when we were all looking for guidance on how to move our bodies in ways that took us out of our heads and into our element. But its message is continuous. Why We Swim is a must-read whether you think of yourself as a swimmer or not. It takes you to the source of our innately human relationship with water and weaves together history, science, and her own personal story to propel us on the journey.
We wanted to start this Women and Water series with my conversation with Bonnie because she is truly an expert on why we gravitate to the ocean, lakes, and other waterways that provide us with so much. Bonnie shares more about Why We Swim, her own start to swimming, how swimming helps us feel free, and so much more.

In the coming weeks, weâll be sharing a series of interviews with some incredible humans who are featured in Women and Water - a new book from the team behind She Explores. Weâll take the conversation off the page and into their relationship with water today. And youâll hear from swimmers, surfers, paddlers, fishers, and more.
But today, weâre bringing you a special episode of Wild for Scotland, a show hosted by Kathi Kamleitner. Itâs truly a piece of audio art, and itâs an ode to the wonder to be found beneath the waterâs surface. She created it in collaboration with Fran Turauskis and musician Jen Austin.
This episode inspired by Kathiâs time on a snorkeling residency on the Argyll coast in Scotland. A snorkeling residency sounds like an absolute dream - and Kathiâs experience resulted in beautiful, poetic reflections. Kathiâs audio poem within, titled Hope, was also commended by the Climate Creatives Challenge.
If you enjoy this listen, we know youâll love Wild for Scotland. Itâs a show thatâs known for its immersive storytelling, and while this episode is no exception - itâs particularly artful in its execution. Wild for Scotland is a welcome escape for anyone, whether theyâve been to Scotland, plan to travel there one day or are just looking for a relaxing armchair adventure.
She Explores will be back next week with a brand new episode highlighting all things Women and Water.

Noami Grevemberg is a leader in the world of vanlife, and the founder of Diversify Vanlife, a platform that highlights less-heard voices in vanlife, road travel, and nomadic communities. Itâs also a resource that helps break down barriers to accessing life on the road, a lifestyle that Noami and her husband Dustin embarked on in 2016.
We chatted with Noami towards the end of 2022, when she was coming off a much-needed vacation after finishing her first book, Living the Vanlife: On the Road Toward Sustainability, Community, and Joy. Itâs part memoir, part how-to guide, in which Noami shares the nitty gritty of their travels with candor, grace, and humor.
The start of the book tells the story of how Noami immigrated to the US from Trinidad at just 16, and how she built a life for herself all on her own - from entering college at 25, to climbing the corporate ladder as an environmental scientist. All that hustle took its toll, and by her early 30âs Noami was ready for a change. While she wouldnât have envisioned vanlife for herself when she flew to America as a teenager, itâs a life she was able to choose for herself. And itâs one that she wants others to be able to pursue too.
This conversation with Noami is the perfect way to start a new year as we talk about resparking creativity after coming off a big project, realigning yourself with your values, what it took for her to create this book, and what aspiring vanlifers will gain from reading it when itâs available this summer.

Victoria Amico would say that hiking 100% ruined her life, but in the best way possible. Seven years ago, she thought she knew what she wanted in her career and devoted her whole self to achieving her goals. But then hiking came along and forced her to examine what she really wanted. In the process, Victoria ended up learning how to choose herself and take up space with her body on the trail.
Victoria shares how she got started hiking (and the transformation it inspired), why 100 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail was the right number this year, why she started her social platform Plus Sized Outdoors, and her hopes for everyone out there listening.

How do you navigate your femininity in a male-dominated space like environmental fieldwork research? For Julia Bingham, it's been an exploration of self.
Julia is an interdisciplinary marine scientist and currently a PhD candidate at Duke University. Her research is focused on improving conservation and fishery management through local communitiesâ knowledge and values. But her discipline hasnât always been the social sciences. Sheâs been engaged in field based coastal research in one form or another for nearly 10 years. In undergrad and post grad, their fieldwork had them on rocky shores, mudflats, beach dunes, forested streams, salt marshes, and onboard research boats.
This is all important to know because today Juliaâs sharing their story of navigating femininity in the field. And whether youâre also in environmental sciences or part of a wholely different profession or pasttime that has made you feel pressured to fit in, that has made you question what makes you âyouâ, Juliaâs words will resonate.
Note: there are a few mentions of sexual harassment and sexual assault in this episode.

Steph Jagger and her mom, Sheila, took a camping road trip together in 2016 across the Rocky Mountains. So often, the purpose of a road trip, or spending time in the outdoors, is to get away from it all. But in this instance, Steph was driving towards something many of us might rather avoid: her mom had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia. And while Alzheimer's is something thatâs hard to talk about, odds are good that you have personal experience with this degenerative disease or another one thatâs similar.
Those places that we are nervous to go are often the ones that call to us the most strongly. Or at a minimum, they tell us something about ourselves and what we need. In this episode, Steph shares about her trip, which she wrote about in her forthcoming memoir, Everything Left to Remember, what her mom continues to teach her, the benefits of sitting with grief, and an invitation to examine the relationships in your life that mirror the best parts of you.

Sarah Dealy was not outdoorsy. But at age 20, during a severe bout of depression, she enrolled in a wilderness therapy program. By the end of the program, she wanted to become an âoutdoor girl.â
But becoming the outdoorswoman of her dreams didnât come naturally. Sarah was an indoor kid at heart. She disliked many of the activities she imagined her outdoorsy self doing.
On the first episode of Out There Podcastâs new season, Sarah takes us from the desert of Utah to the mountains of Colorado and explores what happens when the person you think you want to be doesnât mesh with the person you are.
About Out There
Launched in 2015, Out There is a podcast that explores big questions through intimate stories outdoors. Host Willow Belden just launched their new season, which dives deep into the theme "Things I Thought I Knew." Each episode, they're sharing a story about an outdoor experience that changed someoneâs understanding of themselves, their world, or their humanity. Listen to Out There on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and wherever podcasts are found.

Sometimes adventure looks like picking up and moving 3000 miles away from your home to live in the subarctic. Four years ago, Kristen Berkeley was living in Toronto and blogging about fashion, makeup, and cooking. On a whim, she took a job in Yellowknife, a small city in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
As a Black woman, Kristen was a bit nervous to move to a city that lacked the diversity of home, but she found herself surprised along the way. Yellowknife ended up being her gateway to incorporating the outdoors into her adventurous spirit, and sheâs since started a company called Amplify Outdoors to help invite and uplift more Black, Indigenous, and People of Color into the outdoors with her.
About Kristen: Kristen Berkeley (she/her) is originally from Toronto and has been living in the Northwest Territories for nearly four years. Kristen is a former journalist that enjoys writing about social issues and outdoor lifestyles. When she's not cooking delicious meals, Kristen can be found exploring the Northwest Territories and promoting diversity in outdoor spaces with her organization Amplify Outdoors.
