Send us a textPeaches is back in the Ones Ready Team Room with another no-BS drop that'll make the Pentagon sweat. From the government shutdown that's starving paychecks to the beefy boys rolling off bread trucks in Chicago, this episode rips through every headline the brass wishes you'd ignore. Peaches calls out the “financially illiterate” lifestyle of troops living beyond their means, laughs at the Army Corps' endless postponements, and lights up DoD's hilariously outdated cybersecurity systems. Then it's on to the Marines flexing “maritime domain awareness” for an attaboy, the Air Force's missileer cancer scare, and the Space Force trying to sound cool with “hypersonic challenges.” Oh—and the Coast Guard Cutter Midgett (yes, really) returns from busting drug runners like it's the sequel to Narcos. Top it off with Peaches' unfiltered rant on false IG complaints, whistleblowers, and accountability. The episode ends with updates on the sold-out Nashville Operator Training Summit and a sneak peek at the next Vegas OTS—because rest is for civilians.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Hydration, Hoist, and Old Man Midnight Sips 02:30 – The Shutdown Circus: Paychecks, WIC, and Why You're Broke 04:50 – Fat Troops and Bread Trucks in Chicago 07:15 – Cybersecurity Theater: Outdated Systems and Cheesy Training 09:25 – Marines Celebrate “Maritime Domain Awareness” (Whatever That Means) 11:50 – Missileers, Cancer, and the HunterSeven Lifeline 13:10 – Tac-P Documentary: Filthy Legends, Must-Watch History 14:15 – Inspector General Reform: Bye-Bye Anonymous Whiners 17:00 – Presidential Directives, Bureaucratic Chaos, and Infrastructure BS 18:50 – Nashville OTS Recap + Sneak Peek: Vegas Summit Locked In
Send us a textIf you thought retirement would mellow them out, you clearly haven't met Peaches, Trent, or Aaron.In this week's blisteringly honest episode, all three come in hot. We're talking about the mental minefield of getting out, the physical wreckage of a Special Warfare career, and the professional purgatory of trying to give a damn after years of institutional gaslighting. Peaches is post-retirement and post-patience. Trent's back from the void. Aaron is basically caffeine, rage, and a mic.Together, they break down:The lies you're sold during transitionWhy “support” feels performativeWhat finding purpose really takesAnd why the Air Force still can't memeThis episode is raw, sarcastic, and soaked in the kind of wisdom you only earn through combat, kids, and government paperwork hell. It's not for the fragile—but it might just save your sanity.
Peaches ////// 877Part 1 of 1 www.TrueCrimeGarage.comWhile law enforcement continues to connect crimes and still more victims to the infamous Long Island Serial Killer investigation we decided to take a look at one of the more recent developments in this ongoing saga. In July of 2023 a family man and architect named Rex Heuermann was arrested in connection with three murders tied to the Long Island Serial Killer case or L.I.S.K. for short. Those names and a few others were given to a series of unsolved homicides where the bodies and remains of several young women, a male, and a toddler were discovered in and around Long Island, New York. It is undetermined at this time if all of the murders were committed by the same killer or killers. Since the arrest of Heuermann, investigators have continued to make progress. Heuermann was charged with four additional murders and we now know the identities of two of the victims - Peaches/ Jane Doe #3 & Baby Doe.For more information on these cases, including victim information and a timeline about the case go to www.GilgoCase.com Beer of the Week - Peach Hefeweizen by Southern Tier Brewing Company Garage Grade - 3 and 3 quarter bottle caps out of 5 More True Crime Garage can be found on Patreon and Apple subscriptions with our show - Off The Record.

Send us a textThe Ones Ready Team Room is back and Peaches isn't pulling punches. From the DoD's latest Inspector General “reforms” (translation: no more hiding behind fake complaints) to the U.S. getting embarrassed in the Arctic—this one's got everything: cartel strikes, gender-standard meltdowns, government shutdown chaos, and a little unsolicited love for Aussie warfighters.Peaches dives headfirst into the week's wildest military moves, from Trump's National Guard orders to the Pentagon's plan to polygraph everyone short of the janitor. He also breaks down why the Coast Guard has three icebreakers while Russia flexes forty-one, why “equal standards” means stop crying about pull-ups, and how false accusations destroy careers faster than TikTok destroys attention spans.It's brash.

Send us a textThe Ones Ready crew dives headfirst into the chaos of a government shutdown. Peaches breaks down why jets are still flying even though half the civilians got furloughed, why dropping bombs is suddenly off-limits, and how “minimal manning” really means “maximum chaos.” From Air Force talent marketplace changes to the Space Force scrambling for capability gaps, Marines swapping out recruiting commanders, the Coast Guard dropping multi-tons of blow in Florida, and the Secretary of Defense tightening the screws on military culture—this daily drop pulls no punches. Oh, and POTUS showed up at Quantico to preach discipline like your dad after catching you with a bad haircut.

Send us a textPeaches goes off on the biggest shakeup in the military since forever: the Secretary of Defense (now Secretary of War) dropping a savage speech that could've been an email—but wasn't. From “FAFO” threats to beard bans, fat generals, and nuking woke policies, nothing was off limits. Trump chimed in with his usual fire, telling generals to leave the room if they didn't like it.

Peaches breaks down the military circus: Army stockpiles waiting for the big fight, the Navy flexing nukes, Marines storming beaches like it's 1944, and the Air Force still pretending AI is cheap. Space Force wants a 15-year plan before the end of the year (good luck), the Coast Guard's busting smugglers off Point Loma, and oh yeah—the Secretary of Defense just recalled 800 generals to Quantico. Rumor says they're about to sweat through PT tests while half of them are running on Ozempic and ego.

Peaches, Trent, and Aaron sit down with Arvis Owens, a Naval Academy grad and former officer who had his career torched by a broken system. From botched carrier landings to fighting false accusations, Arvis lays out how the Uniform Code of Military Justice turned into a political circus where accusations = convictions and careers burn for headlines. The crew rips into toxic training, third-party harassment nonsense, and the absurd reality that you can be innocent and still lose everything. This isn't a pity party—it's a call to action.

It's a Thursday night and a group of folks in Washington Heights do-si-do to the bassline from “Shake Your Groove Thing” by Peaches & Herb. Square dancing has a reputation as more of a hobby for white people set to country music. But social clubs like the Southside Squares are turning that image on its head. Last episode, we heard how square dancing was once a booming hobby. Today, we hear from one social club that's working to keep it alive in the 21st century. But square dancing's African and African-American roots often get lost in popular accounts. Some of the first callers and musicians were enslaved Black people. Since then, square dancing has continued to be a part of African-American communities, including a long-running social club that meets up in Washington Heights every week to get down. Today, we hear from members of the Southside Squares. And you can't have a dance without a caller. We also talk with a living legend in square dancing: world renowned caller Sandie Bryant. She'll show us the ropes and tell us what it's like being one of the few Black women callers today.
Send us a textAaron, Trent, and Peaches tackle the rising tide of valor inflation, where every LinkedIn bio says “warfighter,” but no one can pass a PT test. This episode is a spicy roast of our participation trophy military culture, bloated titles, and the thirst for validation that's killing authenticity.We dig into why the guy who's “changing the game” on Instagram hasn't deployed, why you shouldn't need a 9-slide PowerPoint to explain your leadership style, and how the real ones are too busy doing the work to make motivational content about it.Also: whether the military actually values mentorship, why you should be suspicious of people who over-brand themselves, and how chasing recognition is the fastest way to lose your soul in the team room.
✨ Episode Summary: This classic replay episode is one of those golden ones that deserves a second (or third!) listen. In this heartfelt and high-energy convo, Cheri welcomes the legendary Davidji—named one of USA Today's top five meditation teachers to follow—to wrap up her 12-week series with a deep dive on making meditation a lifelong habit. From his iconic "RPM" method to the science behind morning rituals and his game-changing 16 Seconds to Bliss technique, Davidji offers wisdom that's wildly practical and deeply soulful. Plus, there's a beautiful guided meditation and a few tender moments about Peaches (yes, the Buddha-princess pup). A must-revisit for anyone ready to recommit to stillness—one breath at a time.
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had a dynamic past several days marked by family milestones, music success, and business moves. Fresh headlines have been dominated by Justin's new family moment as he shared heartwarming photos with Hailey Bieber and their son Jack Blues, walking together at the Coachella grounds. Fans flooded his social media, saying he finally got the dream family he always wanted. The couple's casual family outing was also a celebration of Justin's recent announcement as a Coachella 2026 headliner, solidifying his position as a festival mainstay, according to Reality Tea. The emotional impact of these photos has been tangible, racking up over two million likes and countless supportive comments from his fanbase.On the professional front, NBC Palm Springs reported last week that Justin's name leads the Coachella 2025 lineup, alongside stars like SZA and The Strokes, confirming his ongoing influence as a top-tier live act. His latest album, Swag, continues to dominate the charts. KUNR detailed how the release of Swag II, an expanded deluxe edition featuring 44 songs, drove the album to re-enter the Billboard top ten, propelled by singles like DAISIES and SPEED DEMON charting in the Hot 100. This chart resurgence was mirrored in coverage from WLRN, further underscoring Justin's sustained relevance in pop music's crowded streaming market.In business news, Justin has expanded his footprint in the cannabis industry. ATL FM News reported his partnership with Palms to launch a limited edition weed line called Peaches, named after his hit single. Bieber spoke to Vogue about why he supports cannabis reform causes, with proceeds benefitting the Last Prisoner Project and Veterans Walk and Talk. The product is rolling out in California, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Florida, aiming to help destigmatize recreational cannabis.On September 10, Justin stunned patrons of a Cambridge pub in Ontario, Canada by walking in for pool and private karaoke, singing songs from his new album and later dropping by a local coffee roaster with Hailey. CTV News detailed how staff and customers were left starstruck, and Justin's social media posts about the visit garnered tens of thousands of likes, offering a rare glimpse of his laid-back public persona.Arguably the most biographically significant news involves Justin's former manager, Scooter Braun. PEOPLE revealed last Thursday that Justin and Braun settled a longstanding financial dispute for over $31 million, tied to canceled tour debts and unpaid commissions. The settlement comes in the wake of a revealing 2025 documentary about Justin's catalog sale and personal struggles. This marks the final end of a 15-year working relationship, with Braun now retired and Bieber fully independent in his artistic direction.Justin's net worth remains north of $300 million as Forbes and other outlets confirm, driven by music, business ventures, and brand endorsements. The past week – album success, public appearances, family milestones, and a new chapter in business and management – will likely resonate for years as pivotal moments in Bieber's evolving biography.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines over the past few days with a whirlwind of activity that spans music, business, and personal life. The big news is his official announcement as Coachella's headliner for the 2026 festival, marking his first major live concerts in the US since 2022. According to NBC Palm Springs, he'll take the stage on April 11 and 18 alongside SZA and others, with Billboard and Page Six both reporting his record-breaking $10 million compensation, which he reportedly landed singlehandedly by negotiating directly with Goldenvoice, not through an agent. Rumors suggest this deal was driven and encouraged by his wife Hailey Bieber, who, according to US Weekly and Page Six, was a major reason he decided to accept — insiders described her as both the “driving force” and “incredibly supportive,” reminding him how much touring means to his fans and ushering in what some have called a new era where Justin calls all the shots.This Coachella momentum comes on the heels of new musical output. Bieber recently dropped a black-and-white video teaser for his SWAG II track “Speed Demon,” filmed on the actual Coachella grounds. He shared shots online of himself and Hailey strolling hand-in-hand across the field with their young son, Jack Blues Bieber, further fueling buzz for his festival appearance, as seen on his official Instagram and covered by ABC Audio. Musically, his album ‘Swag' re-entered the Billboard top 10 this week, driven by a newly expanded deluxe edition, as KUNR reports, underscoring the album's staying power after debuting two months ago.On the business front, Bieber's launch of a limited edition cannabis line called ‘Peaches,' in partnership with Palms, made the rounds on social media and in Vogue and BBC News. The singer revealed his goal is to make cannabis more approachable and to destigmatize its use, with a portion of proceeds benefitting criminal justice reform charities like the Last Prisoner Project and Veterans Walk and Talk.Financially, Bieber resolved a major chapter by reaching a $31.5 million settlement with former manager Scooter Braun. PEOPLE and TMZ confirm this ends a dispute over money Bieber owed Braun and HYBE, largely related to advances for the canceled Justice Tour and unpaid commissions. These revelations surfaced alongside the release of a new documentary that links Bieber's earlier catalog sale to Hipgnosis, in December 2022, to financial strain. Although speculation persists regarding the stress Bieber's facing, Braun told The Diary of a CEO podcast that Justin's decision to strike out on his own is respected and, after 15 highly successful years, the old team wishes him well.In short, every major headline is signaling a comeback—Justin Bieber is seizing control of his career, making bold moves in music and business, and returning to the spotlight with support from his family and fans.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In recent days, Justin Bieber has made headlines for a string of developments that signal his growing dominance as both a musical and business force. The biggest news is his $10 million personal deal to headline Coachella in April 2026, negotiated directly with Goldenvoice and bypassing an agent—a rare move for an artist of his stature, as reported by Rolling Stone and Netflix Junkie. Bieber will receive $5 million for each weekend, making him one of the top-paid Coachella headliners ever, and representing "a groundbreaking move for a headliner" according to insiders. His wife, Hailey Bieber, posted her support on Instagram Story with the exuberant tag “BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :)” following the announcement, adding a personal touch to the milestone.On the music front, Bieber's seventh studio album “Swag”—released just two months ago—stormed back into the Billboard Top 10 after dropping an expanded deluxe edition, “Swag II.” The expanded album ballooned to 44 songs, over two hours of new Bieber music, riding streaming era trends, and “thanks to fans streaming all those new songs, the album leaps from No. 17 to No. 4” according to NPR. “DAISIES,” the lead single, remains in the top ten, and the new song “SPEED DEMON” debuted on this week's Hot 100 singles chart. However, reviews are mixed: The Observer called “Swag II” “underwhelming” and criticized its new sound, but did point out “SPEED DEMON” and “EYE CANDY”—a tribute to Hailey—as standout tracks. Rolling Stone described the album as “safe,” raising questions about Bieber's artistic ambitions versus commercial pressure.On the business side, Bieber's net worth has doubled in the past few years to $200 million, fueled by a combination of record sales, touring, a previous $200 million catalog sale to Hipgnosis, and brand deals. He personally severed ties with Drew House, urging fans not to associate him with the fashion brand. Meanwhile, Hailey's skincare brand Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, and Bieber continues to support Rhode through his social media platforms. In a new entrepreneurial move, Bieber partnered with Palms to launch a limited-edition cannabis line called Peaches, with some proceeds supporting criminal justice reform and charity, as reported in Vogue and BBC News.On the more casual and social side, Bieber stunned bartenders in Cambridge, Ontario, with a surprise pub visit for karaoke, followed by a coffee run with Hailey at Monogram Coffee Roasters. Local staff shared their excitement and characterized the couple as “laid-back,” and viral fan snaps spread across Instagram and TikTok, contributing to a wave of organic social media mentions.These events combined—Coachella's headline, a surge in chart success, album criticism, business shakeups, charity moves, and viral social moments—mark an era of renewed visibility and control for Bieber. Biographically, his direct Coachella deal and personal brand moves mark the most significant shifts, suggesting he's entering a new phase defined by autonomy, ambition, and a willingness to take risks both musically and entrepreneurially. Speculation about further surprise collaborations and more personal projects is circulating, but as of now official announcements remain pending.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

If only nostalgia paid the bills. But when it comes to peaches, it doesn't. Wattie's is out. Pams do a good line of imported stuff, and those who buy peaches in tins like it cheap. A lot of us like cheap. Cheap has never been more appealing in a cost of living crisis. If I was in the business of patriotic purchases, I would close my door and go home. It does work to a degree overseas. Australia is running an "Australian Made" campaign which has had traction. Canada gave it a good push post the tariff debacle. The French are into it. But a place like New Zealand, despite the rhetoric, has never really excelled at being good at backing local. Pams do peaches at $0.99. Wattie's is $3.90. They would have to be some pretty spectacular fruit for that price, and that is why Wattie's is out. They told us yesterday demand is down. Who needs Brian down the road in Hawke's Bay when you have fruit from Lord-knows-where at a fraction of the price? Peaches are also out of favour. As Greg my hairdresser and I were talking during the week, who buys cans of peaches anyway? It's school camp food, he suggested. But he might just be one of those trendy urbanites. I walked him down memory lane with my childhood canned fruit salad that had peaches and pears and apples and two cherries. The cherries were the prize. I'd happily burn a whole can of syrupy crap to land the two cherries. But here is the thing – one of the tricks in life is honesty. When we face these issues, we burn a lot of energy and time on things we know aren't going to work, or are past their used by date, or are a waste of time. Marching for Gaza is not saving a single life or stopping the war. Turning up at COP30 isn't getting an inch closer to Net Zero and Helen Clark is never going to think more concerts at Eden Park is good. We don't like local anything if we have to pay more than some cheap crap from Vietnam or on Temu. It is what it is. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In spring I start to get impatient for those gorgeous summer fruit. It's then that I'll resort to using tinned fruit, and New Zealand peaches are some of the best you can get. Makes 20x30cm tray Ingredients 200g butter 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups plain flour + extra 1 tbsp 2 tsp baking powder 1 can tinned NZ peaches, drained and fruit chopped 1/3 cup sour cream Method Preheat oven to 175 C. Line a Swiss roll tin. Cream the butter and sugar and then beat in the egg and vanilla. Mix in 2 cups flour and the baking powder and press all but ½ cup of the mixture into tin. Scatter the chopped peaches over the base. Add the extra tablespoon of flour to the remaining dough and mix together. Strew this over the fruit and dab teaspoons of sour cream over the top. Bake for 45 minutes or until top is golden. Leave to cool and slice either into fingers or squares. Serve warm as a dessert with whipped cream or ice cream or keep airtight in fridge and eat as a slice. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Talk Art Live in Berlin. Season 26 of Talk Art begins!!!!This episode is a special Paid Partnership collaboration with Berlin Art Week, who flew Russell & Robert to Berlin. Recorded live, in front of an audience, outside the Neue Nationalgalerie in September 2025. Special guests Peaches @peachesnisker (musician, producer, director, performance artist) and Klaus Biesenbach @klausbiesenbach (Director, Neue Nationalgalerie) join the conversation about art, music, and the Berlin art scene.An iconic feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent nearly two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that's opened the door for countless others to follow. She's collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Kim Gordon and Major Lazer, had her music featured cultural watermarks like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid's Tale, and Broad City among others, and seen her work studied at universities around the world.Dubbed a “genuine heroine” by the New York Times, Peaches has released five critically acclaimed studio albums blending electronic music, hip-hop, and punk rock while tackling gender politics, sexual identity, ageism, and the patriarchy. Uncut has raved that her work brought together "high art, low humour and deluxe filth [in] a hugely seductive combination,” while Rolling Stone called her “surreally funny [and] nasty.”An equally prolific visual artist, Peaches has directed over twenty of her own videos, designed one of the most raw and creative stage shows in popular music, and has appeared at modern art's most prestigious gatherings, from Art Basel Miami to the Venice Biennale. On top of it all, she mounted a one-woman production of 'Jesus Christ Superstar'—redubbed ‘Peaches Christ Superstar'—which earned international raves, composed and performed the electro-rock opera 'Peaches Does Herself,' which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and sang the title role in a production of Monteverdi's epic 17th-century opera 'L'Orfeo' in Berlin. Visit: https://www.teachesofpeaches.com/Klaus Biesenbach began his career in Berlin 30 years ago aged 25, when he was one of a group that set up the KW Institute for Contemporary Art in a former margarine factory. In 2004, he became a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where he rose to the position of chief curator and founded a new department for media and performance art. In 2010, he became director of MoMA PS1, the museum's outpost in Queen's. At MOCA in Los Angeles, he introduced free admission, expanded the collection and navigated the museum through the pandemic.

He drags the idea of draft “policies” floating around the Guard Bureau, laughs at new bunker buster contracts, and side-eyes social media witch hunts after troops cheered Charlie Kirk's assassination. Oh, and in case you forgot—it's fiscal year chaos, which means budgets, BS, and Peaches reminding you that the Air Force stockpile ain't what you think it is.

Send us a textCongrats, you survived the pipeline and think you've made it. Spoiler: nobody at your first team gives a damn. In this episode, Peaches and Trent rip the lid off the “career trajectory” nobody tells you about. From being the new guy fetching radios to running a team, dodging AETC orders, and getting stuck in jobs nobody wants (ops shop, anyone?), we break down exactly how fast you go from “student stud” to “old guy with back pain.” We torch the myths, clown on guard bros, debate steroid use in the team room, and even drag the almighty Chiefs' Group. It's blunt, funny, and probably the most accurate look you'll get at life after selection.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro and Nashville OTS plug 02:30 – Gummies, discounts, and random sponsor chaos 05:00 – Parents: stop thinking your kid's a Navy SEAL 09:30 – Career trajectory kicks off: post-pipeline reality check 13:00 – First assignment: proving yourself, schools, deployments 18:30 – Second assignment: team time, AETC purgatory, broadening 24:30 – Victims of your own success (sorry, Spencer) 28:00 – Third assignment: Tech/MSGt life, team sergeant grind 34:30 – MAGCOM, CFMs, and the bureaucracy circus 39:30 – Senior years: SOCOM, Weapons School, Chiefs' Group hell 48:30 – Officer track: rinse, repeat, go to school forever 53:00 – Dumb team room arguments and badge drama 55:00 – Steroids, recovery, and castration jokes (yep, we went there) 56:30 – Wrap-up: educational, slightly offensive, but accurate
¡La tensión no baja en Task! El segundo episodio de la serie de HBO nos mete de lleno en el caos que dejaron Robbie y Cliff tras el atraco fallido del capítulo anterior. La bolsa que robaron no contenía dinero, sino fentanilo, y ese detalle puede ser su sentencia de muerte: los Dark Hearts ya han empezado a mover ficha y alguien dentro de la banda podría estar pasando información. En este programa analizamos cómo Robbie intenta cuidar de Sam, el niño que nunca debió estar en su casa, mientras Mave descubre la verdad y se ve arrastrada a un callejón sin salida. Repasamos las consecuencias de haber dejado el cuerpo de Peaches atrás, el ataque a la familia de su prometida y cómo el círculo de inocentes empieza a sufrir por las decisiones desesperadas de nuestros protagonistas. Nos adentramos también en el otro gran frente: el del agente Tom Brandice, que investiga mientras lidia con una familia hecha pedazos. La cena con sus hijas Emily y Sarah se convierte en un duelo doloroso sobre el perdón, la culpa y el asesinato de su esposa a manos de Ethan. Una escena cargada de tensión que, junto al hallazgo de Emily reflejando los pasos de su hermano, nos deja algunas de las imágenes más impactantes de la temporada. Un episodio que mezcla thriller y drama familiar con un pulso increíble. ¿Quién es el infiltrado dentro de los Dark Hearts? ¿Hasta dónde llegará Robbie para proteger a Sam? ¿Y qué precio está dispuesto a pagar Tom por mantener unida a su familia?

From the Air Force reactivating old commands to Space Force rolling out new uniforms, this episode dives into the chaos of DoD rebrands, reorganizations, and questionable decisions. Why are we shooting at UFOs with Reapers? Why is Congress playing budget chicken with defense spending? And do service members still have free speech when Big Brother's watching their socials?On top of that, Peaches drops updates on the Nashville Operator Training Summit, rants about suicide prevention critics, and even schools himself on where the hell Pease Air National Guard Base is.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Sandra Katerina Schmelzer Alvarez, or Peaches, completed her Appalachian Trail thru-hike last month. She is a single mother who managed her autistic son's reaction to her hike by preparing him for a year before she left. The hike allowed her to see herself as not just a mother, embracing the hiking community and returning home to her son, Nico, with a new perspective on life and motherhood. You can follow Sandra and see plenty of her thru-hike photographs on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/share/1B7SHgqvAN/?mibextid=wwXIfr.
