In this episode, we talk to Brenna (she/her) who is a climber, runner, hiker, and overall outdoors person. Often times when we think of being active we narrow the scope to the activity. Brenna has widened it to encompass her life as a whole. She loves art and is inspired by the surrounding mountains and animals of Washington State. She loves to see others enjoying the outdoors as much as she does. That includes the animals who live in the animal sanctuary where she works. She also spends a great deal of time planning her goal of hiking to all the fire lookouts around the state. We also learn the difference between banana and leopard snugs, why sheâs so interested in toilets, and what structure is inspiring the home sheâs building.

In this episode, we talk to Irene Yee pronouns she/her. Irene started being active as a young person, playing school-organized sports, cross country, and basketball. Irene went to such a small school, students almost had to join a sport in order to have enough athletes to compete. For Irene it wasnât that she loved these sports, she just participated in them.
Irene made a big move after college from Boston to Las Vegas to look for a better-paying job and a lower cost of living. After settling in, she was looking for an inexpensive gym in her area and joined a climbing gym. Irene sort of stumbled into a great group of people who took her outside to climb and she was hooked. Irene is also a really crafty person and enjoys creating things from sewing to woodworking. Ireneâs exceptional technical skills and design background made climbing photography her ideal creative outlet.
Climbing photography has changed how she thinks about her goals with climbing. She is more interested in being with friends and maintaining fitness than not pushing further and further. She also loves sharing her climbing photography skills and strives to create a safe space for others to learn.

Kriste was very active as a child and that continued throughout her adulthood. After moving to CO she realized that she was having trouble breathing just walking upstairs and as an active person Kriste didnât accept that. After acclimating to her new surroundings and seeking help from a running coach, Kriste went from being winded on the stairs to doing what she loved, running. Kriste also really enjoyed hiking and wanted to see more of the trail faster, which led her to trail running.
Trail running, like many outdoor activities, noticeably lacks diversity and can often pose quite an obstacle for many people. A feeling she has experienced firsthand, Kriste advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion and strives to make space for those who may not feel like trail running is for them. Kriste leverages her experience and knowledge as a trail running coach and meditation instructor. She likes to sprinkle in meditation mindsets into her coaching to highlight awareness while running.
Kriste is part of so many amazing organizations; she is on the board of Running Start, a self-defense and personal safety trainer at Impact Personal Safety of CO, the program director at Womenâs Wilderness, and a Coach for Lifeâs Too Short Fitness. Most of these organizations have a common thread of empowerment and facilitating outdoor adventure activities for women and nonbinary folks.

It was an absolute pleasure putting together words of Empowerment for 2022 so I decided to go back to the archives and do a clip show for 2021 as well. Some of the interviews might have taken place in 2020, but who is counting? The past few years have been a blur anyway. I am so grateful for all these individuals' stories. Enjoy this power-packed episode!

In this episode I talk about the learnings from the last interview I did with Mercedes Pollmeier. Mercedes finds the most value in a workout with both strength and flexibility. One of her favorite examples of this is lifting and stretching together. That really was an amazing concept not just because it is an added benefit to your lift, but because it let me do something I value alongside something I donât prioritize and often procrastinate doing. I thought how can I prioritize other activities and I came up with a few concepts of my own; adding mobility into my core, knee-specific strength, and being proactive about weaknesses.
In the second part of the episode, I go into racing and setting goals that will promote improvement in specific techniques you personally need to work on. Ultimately making you a better racer and also hopefully enjoying the race more too. My examples are all running-based here but I am hoping you can apply these ideas to whatever activities youâre working on.
