Podcasts about shelma jun

This episode was originally published in August 2020.  When it comes to getting outdoors, gear can be a major barrier. Whether it's finding gear that comes in your size (let alone actually fits your body), knowing what gear is a must-have and what you can safely skip, or having the funds for what you need, there's a lot more at play than just walking into your local outdoor retailer. This week, we wanted to dig into women's gear—across hiking, climbing, dog mushing, and more—to find out how far we've come in opening up the outdoors to bodies of all shapes and experience levels and how far we have to go. With the most guests we've had on one podcast since we started recording at home, this episode stars Unlikely Hikers founder Jenny Bruso, Flash Foxy founder and climber Shelma Jun, and Iditarod competitor Blair Braverman, who share how they fell in love with the outdoors in the first place, how they overcome gear barriers today, and what they want from the outdoor industry.

Catch-up with Shelma Jun, founder of Flash Foxy and the creator of the women’s climbing festival. Shelma was on the show back in 2017, when we talked about the founding of Flash Foxy and the ripple effect of starting small in a place she knew, the climbing community. In an Instagram live catch-up Gale did with Shelma on Thursday, we talked about her lessons from 2020, particularly the way societal work week’s inhibit our community activations and the changes to her body after choosing to be a living kidney donor back in June. Shelma also shares what she is looking forward to in the future: from dance parties to her readiness to bring climbers back together for the Women’s Climbing Festival when it’s safe to do so.This special bonus episode of She Explores is brought to you by ust, who are making a name in the camping world by creating gear that helps EVERYONE get outside and enjoy the outdoors.

Aloha! My name is Selena. I'm a long time yoga teacher, climbing instructor and a real estate agent in Austin, Texas and a single mom to an amazing son who will be off to college soon. So that I'm not tempted to follow him around, in 2019 I bought a van for my 50th birthday present to self so I can start ticking the things on my bucket list.If you see me or the SexyBluBeast on your adventures, give me a holler! Let's climb, grab some tacos and share stories. I believe that life is about love, service and great adventures. This year, 2020, has been tumultuous like no other I've known, yet I believe that all growth and progress comes with growing pains. Love knows no colors, gender, age, race or religion; let's unite and create a world that is safe for all. My mission for the next 50 years is to share joy, help people stay safe on the rock, and be a part of the healing so that we have a beautiful place to pass on to future generations. I am an AMGA SPI and an Apprentice Rock Guide. I was blessed to win a scholarship with The North Face to take part in the Women's Rock Guide course and look forward to creating a fun learning environment.  Shout out to @AMGA1979 for their earnest effort in diversity, equity and inclusion on the mountains and in the guiding industry, @accessfund for advocating and conservation efforts, Shelma Jun and @heyflashfoxy for being the fearless voice in making climbing accessible for all, Emilie Hernandez and @texasladycrushers for a great community, and @vandoitco for giving me a comfortable place to rest my head so I'm safe on the road and on the rock.

Resetting Intentions When Goals Go Out The Window! Pro skier and The Fifty Project creator Cody Townsend, Flash Foxy founder Shelma Jun, Tiny Home Adventure creator Andrew Muse, and adventure photographer Scott Kranz give their perspectives on what happens when big goals get interrupted and intentions must be reset. This is a replay from the Stoked From Home online summit by The Stokecast. Hosted by Jonathan Ronzio and Emily Holland. (Watch the episode at youtube.com/c/jonathanronzio)

This month's episode features a powerful individual in the climbing world: founder of Flash Foxy, Shelma Jun. Shelma started Flash Foxy as a social media platform to provide a way for ladies to share their climbing stoke. It quickly evolved into something much larger, as now she hosts multiple women's climbing festivals a year to celebrate women in climbing. In addition to her work with Flash Foxy, Shelma holds a seat on the board with Access Fund. She has brought a diverse set of skills to the board, focusing a lot of her work on justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (JEDI). Conversations around JEDI have become more prevalent in the outdoor industry over the past few years, and Shelma and many others are captaining the ship. Enjoy!

Shelma Jun is, by most metrics, an unlikely face for the sport of climbing. A late arrival to the scene — she didn’t begin until her mid-twenties — she lives in New York City, about as far-removed a place from Yosemite and Joshua Tree as they come. Which is kind of the point. A Korean-American … Continue reading Shelma Jun: “Climbing is in such a different place now” →

While I like to think that all of our discussions here are important, some are just plain bigger picture than others. This one falls into the bigger picture category.  Recorded live at the 2018 CWA Summit, the Women in Climbing discussion brought up many great points and offered several learning opportunities for everyone present. Special thanks to all of the panelists and to the CWA, particularly Emily Moore and Laura Allured, for allowing me to broadcast this discussion.  The discussion was moderated by Renee DeAngelis, and included Lynn Hill, Shelma Jun, Halcy Webster, Sophia Danenberg, Stephanie Ko Pound, and Becca Droz.  NOTE: The url for the CWA Summit given in the episode is incorrect.

On episode 27 of The Stokecast, founder of Flash Foxy and the Women's Climbing Festival, co-founder of the Never Not Collective production company, climber and Access Fund board member, Shelma Jun. In our conversation with Shelma, we dig into the contrasting balance of a life in pursuit of wild adventures with a home base in the big city, how an urban planner became an outdoor community builder, and how to recognize when your unique snowball of opportunity and experience has grown big enough to build a dream on. Plus, the difference between being physically present and mentally present, and Shelma's thoughts around gender equity in the outdoor industry, its current trend and its future.

Climbing was Shelma Jun’s fallback sport. A snowboarder and mountain biker, she found her way into a climbing gym after injuring her shoulder and looking for an activity where she wouldn’t risk more impact. As a friend told her, you can’t fall very far if you’re attached to a rope. In 2014, she created an Instagram account called Flash Foxy to celebrate the crew of hard-charging New York women she’d begun climbing with. After gaining thousands of followers, she co-founded the Women’s Climbing Festival, which sold out in under a minute last year. In our final installment of this series looking at inclusivity in outdoor communities, James Edward Mills spoke to Jun about the influence a rising generation of female athletes is having on a sport long dominated by men.

We often live with timelines in our minds. We’re really good at building a narrative for ourselves: "by this age, I want to do have accomplished______." Maybe it's a list of mountains to climb, or debt to repay, or a family to grow - we all tuck dreams in the back of our minds. And yet the older we get, the more we realize that life gets in the way. Many of us end up looking in the mirror and asking the scariest of questions: Am I allowed to change my dream? And other questions run parallel: How stuck is too stuck in my ways? What if I'm working towards something but I've lost sight of why? What if I can't articulate what I want? How fortunate am I to ask these questions in the first place? This special episode in partnership with Subaru gathered 12 adventurous and creative women in the high desert of Marfa, TX to contemplate these questions and to consider how the outdoors plays a role in helping us to navigate crossroads in our lives. Women Featured in this Episode: Jules Davies, Shelma Jun, Kaylé Barnes, Kristen Blanton, Sarah Uhl, Sara Close, Nic Annette Miller, Sarah Menzies, Anna Brones, Laura Hughes, and Gale Straub. Other women in Marfa include runner Sarah Attar, photographer Sarah Forrest, farmer Andrea Bemis, and fabricator Kelly DeWitt. Hosted and produced by Gale Straub. In this episode, you'll hear: The ways the outdoors helps us at points of transition How privilege plays a role in making time to contemplate dreams Why dreams can be scary to acknowledge Honest talk about depression How a professional cyclist became a landscape painter Why simple dreams are just as important as 'big' ones Encouragement to focus on the present rather than constantly looking ahead or behind.

Rock climber and Flash Foxy founder, Shelma Jun talks gender, politics, training, mentors, feminism, women only spaces, empathy, mistakes, and focusing on what's close to you then expand out.

With projecting, you go from something that feels completely impossible...and you work on it...you spend time and effort and skin...it's this huge achievement and really rewarding. That is why people go through the labor. You go from feeling like something is impossible, to believing you can do something, to finally realizing it. -Colette McInerney On this special episode of Nausicaa Cast, I had the opportunity to talk with Colette McInerney the day before her new production company, Never Not Collective, raised 50,000 for their new all-female climbing movie. Colette, along with Shelma Jun, Julie Ellison, and Leslie Hittmeier must have set a record when they met their original goal in 5 days on kickstarter . This seems to not only be an indication of the need for more female climbing presence in the industry and the strength of the group as a whole, but also the generosity and support of the climbing community. Colette discusses this support as well as her nomadic path, her passion for photography, and #coletteing. The world is going to do what its going to do and it's your decision if you're going to be anxious about it or go with it. Bio After a decade of traveling the world as a professional climber, Colette started recording her adventures through photography and film in 2010. She found her passion at the intersection of photo, film, travel, and climbing, and since then she’s worked with companies like Red Bull, National Geographic, Prana, and New Balance to capture the story behind the biggest accomplishments. From summiting 14,000-foot peaks to scaling massive limestone walls, she can—and will—go anywhere to get the shot.

On Episode 136 of the Enormocast, I sit down beside the Popo Agie River in Lander, Wyoming at the International Climbers Festival with Shelma Jun. Shelma somewhat accidentally started FlashFoxy, which after beginning as a humble Instagram account among friends, morphed into an advocacy movement for women’s climbing. Shelma then added the Women’s Climbing Festival … Continue reading "Episode 136: Shelma Jun – A Better Way."

Shelma Jun is an unapologetic force to be reckoned with, and she's put more thought than most of us into this feminist movement that is rocking the climbing world. To be honest, while I've put a ton of thought into it myself, much of it was in the form of denial. When that began to change, and I opened by eyes a little, I knew I had to have a conversation with Shelma. I'm extremely happy that she was willing to sit down with me and struggle through a tough, but important conversation.   Some of you will agree. Some of you won't. That's ok. What's important is that we start the conversation, on many levels, and keep it going.   I've fucked up many times. I'll fuck up more. That's about all that I'm sure of.   That, and that I'll always make an effort to realize that I don't need to have all the answers.   You can find Shelma at www.flashfoxy.com and at www.nevernotcollective.com You can find us at www.powercompanyclimbing.com Process Journals are out!  Go get one!  http://www.powercompanyclimbing.com/process-journal Support the podcast at www.patreon.com/powercompanypodcast We don't tweet.
