On Episode 315 of the Enormocast, I sit down with Boulder-born Yosemite-trained speed climbing maestra, Kate Kelleghan. Kate came to climbing at 20 despite, or maye TO spite, her climbing dad. A youth of dark eye make-up, music, art, and smoke-sessions behind the school finally gave way to a life of climbing adventure when dad … Continue reading "Enormocast 315: Kate Kelleghan – Turbocharged Life"

In this episode, we explore the concept of energy fragments—how they can be taken from you during past encounters, and how to retrieve them for emotional and spiritual healing. These fragments, often left behind by past attacks or harmful interactions, can trigger a variety of stress responses in the body. The video guides you through a process to recover these lost energies, activate healing, and restore your energetic balance, promoting greater empowerment and emotional resilience.Topics Discussed:1.) What Are Energy Fragments?2.) Why Energy Fragments Affect Us3.) The Healing Process: Retrieving Fragments4.) Understanding TriggersThis is a segment from Aleya's coaching sessions.

Hey everybody we hope you're all having a great autumn we had to let an episode go a couple of weeks due to travel situations but we hope you enjoy our episode ...got a lot of guests coming like Mark Lester, Mark Hudson (remember the Hudson Brothers?) and another visit with Artie Kornfeld so stay tuned for more!

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Machu Picchu Are there any tips to help me avoid being cheated or robbed while traveling? Yes, you can take precautions like removing your expensive jewelry before traveling and not carrying expensive purses or shoes. Don't look like a target. Look like you belong, and try not to stand out from the usual crowd. Check reviews of any Airbnb or turo car rentals you book. Be careful not to walk alone in the dark at night, as much as possible. Think of the odds whenever you go out. Please put them in your favor, not a criminal. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series dives deeper into safety and security while traveling solo—link in description""  See Book A for addressing this challenge. You can find it on our website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon; it's a several-part series. Today's special destination is: Machu Picchu, Peru. I finally got there, after so many years of wanting to visit. And I had a great time. I hope the same goes for you. Peru is a wonderful place, but you do need to be prepared, and I was. I t'ss almost always a good time to book your ticket to Machu Picchu. So book it now if you are planning it. There is a daily cap of 5600 people. Once you get there, it will be too late to reserve a ticket. You could get lucky, so if you're in an emergency, you may be able to obtain one from a broker, but that will incur an additional cost. I was delaying the purchase for a few weeks, and I'm glad I booked my tour three months in advance. The tickets are not expensive, but it may be a challenge to afford them. I found a travel agency, but they wouldn't accept my credit card over the phone, and when I tried to set up a Western Union money transfer, it was a terrible experience. I'll share that in my mistakes later on. https://www.ticketmachupicchu.com/ticket-machu-picchu-2019/ Machu Picchu tips and insights on the travel for you. Step What to do Tips & costs 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on Tuboleto.c ultura .pe – choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. Cost 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,600, so June slots sell out early. Peru RailEl País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views. Peru Rail 3. Bus up Buy a Consettur round-trip ticket (US$24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, with a 25-minute ride. Ticket to Machu Picchu   4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport, ticket & small day pack only. My ticket was in the afternoon, and for that it was great. It was hazy that morning, I was told.         6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu. Ticket to Machu Picchu   7. Lunch & return Picnic outside the gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30), or stay one more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace.   Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (for cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to avoid lines and secure cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small bills; ATMs are plentiful in Cusco. Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu—then you'll be perfectly primed for Brazil's beaches a few days later. ¡Buen viaje! Hard to use Western Union for a payment to my travel expert. Very challenging. It didn't happen; I brought it in person to Cusco. Paid by CC in person, but not to the travel agent. She had to find someone willing to accept the credit card payment in another shop. It was both a great deal and a great pain. The total cost was only $275.Here's a breakdown of my trip to Machu Picchu Machu Picchu: My One-Day Experience (start/finish in Cusco) Timeline & logistics 03:00 woke up; 03:30 ready; 04:00 pickup. Bus from Cusco → Ollantaytambo, then train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo)—you even shared the carriage with a few actors. Reached town around 08:30 in the rain; explored, then rented a bathing suit and towel and relaxed at the hot springs (20 soles entry; 5 soles suit; 5 soles towel). Met Eduardo, my English-speaking guide from Cusco (now living locally). I treated him to tea before we got started. Noon: lined up for Machu Picchu entry; private tour from ~12:00–16:30. You tipped 50 soles—he was excellent. The weather shifted from rain to cloudy to sunny, perfect for walking among the ruins. Stats: ~48 flights of stairs and 6.4 miles walked; lots of steps. Afterward, enjoy a massage (~$20), a chocolate bar, and plenty of water before heading back to Cusco at around 11 pm. It was a long, but so valued day. What I saw & felt The town is small: church (Virgen del Carmen, where I said prayers), district offices, train stations, and police clustered together. Wildlife moments: five llamas, including a 3-day-old nursing and another 3-month-old—adorable. The scenery felt grand and expansive—it reminded you of Yosemite for its scale, but with open, terraced mountains rather than dense trees. Photos turned out great. You loved the entire experience and happily checked off another of the Seven Wonders of the World. Language tidbit from your guide:"'ach'= old, 'icch'= mountain. You noticed so many other peaks around the citadel. What I learned….. The tour weaved together the Incas' worship, daily life, food, farming practices (especially corn/maize), and burial customs—you noted that mostly women's skeletons were found in the areas you discussed with your guide. Inca history (brief context): The Inca civilization flourished in the 15th–early 16th centuries across the Andes, constructing extraordinary stone architecture and terraced agriculture without the use of iron or the wheel. Machu Picchu itself sat hidden in the mountains for centuries, its location contributing to its preservation until its 20th-century reintroduction to global attention. The expansive mountain range around the site made it feel concealed and sacred, "hidden for centuries," much like the aura people describe with Angkor Wat (your comparison). Small moments that mattered Tea with Eduardo (my treat) set a relaxed rhythm for the afternoon, and since it was raining, it gave me a chance to dry out. Hot springs soak before the ruins helped counter the early start and altitude. I loved that I could rent a bathing suit for the morning. That was a first. The hot springs were soothing and an unexpected pleasure. Bring your suit if you remember. Private guiding made the history feel personal and clear. I thought I would be in a group, but this was a private tour. One-line takeaway A long, early start bloomed into a perfectly paced day—rain to sun, hot springs to high terraces—guided insight, baby llamas, countless stairs, and a deep, peaceful sense of awe among the Incas'""old mountain" Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news  

There have been mixed reports of the situation at Yosemite National Park since the federal government shutdown began on Oct. 1. Some say the park is rife with unruly visitors, trash, and illegal behavior, while others say it's perfectly normal. So KQED reporter Sarah Wright went to go see for herself.

Puntata a cura di Jacopo Bulgarini d'Elci e Livio Pacella.C'è un tipo di investigatore che ormai domina le narrazioni crime contemporanee. Non è necessariamente brillante, di certo non è infallibile. Soprattutto, non è mai in pace con se stesso. È un uomo (quasi sempre un uomo) solo, ferito, spesso ex poliziotto, che porta addosso la memoria di un dolore troppo grande. In Untamed, questo detective tormentato prende il volto di Kyle Turner, ranger solitario dello Yosemite National Park, interpretato da Eric Bana. Qui la natura diventa coprotagonista: non è solo sfondo, ma specchio. Lo Yosemite è maestoso, indifferente, enigmatico. Uno spazio incontaminato eppure segnato dalla presenza umana, dalle sue violenze, dalle sue fughe. È qui che si svolge un'indagine che è anche viaggio nel dolore, nell'espiazione, nel segreto…“2 voci, 1 serie”: dialoghi sulle cose che ci piacciono, o ci interessano, nel podcast di Mondoserie.Leggi il nostro articolo su Untamed: https://www.mondoserie.it/untamed/ Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/  Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

Today, we're heading deep into Yosemite National Park- a place known for its stunning granite cliffs, towering waterfalls, and wild, untouched beauty. But even in a place so breathtaking, things can go wrong fast. This is the story of Jeanne Hesselschwert- a woman who vanished on what should have been a simple roadside stop… and the chain of events that followed.Support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month, with benefits starting at the $3 tier!Follow us on Instagram at offthetrailspodcastFollow us on Facebook at Off the Trails PodcastIf you have your own outdoor misadventure (or adventure) story that you'd like us to include in a listener episode, send it to us at offthetrailspodcast@gmail.com  Please take a moment to rate and review our show, and a big thanks if you already have!**We do our own research and try our best to cross-reference reliable sources to present the most accurate information we can.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, and brought to you by Topo Athletic, we're joined by Mary “Fireweed” Kwart. Fireweed is a thru-hiker, a Deadhead, and a pioneering figure in wildland firefighting with a career spanning more than 30 years. We dive into the challenges of being one of the first women to join the elite Arrowhead Interagency Hotshots, the culture shock of entering a male-dominated field, and some of the most memorable stories from her decades on the fire line.  Fireweed also reflects on how long-distance hiking has evolved since the 1970s, her tradition of tackling a new long trail every year since retiring, and her deep love and advocacy for California's Bigfoot Trail. We wrap the show with the best backpacking trails in the Midwest, the thru-hiking advice we wish we'd never given, a debate over whether robotic legs should count as mechanical transport under the Wilderness Act, and the Triple Crown of parts of society we'd turn the clock back for.

In Yosemite National Park, Tenaya Canyon is known as both stunning and cursed. Legend says Chief Tenaya, the last leader of the Ahwahneechee, placed a curse on the land after his people's destruction. Ever since, hikers and explorers who enter the canyon have met with strange accidents and misfortune — earning it the name “the Bermuda Triangle of Yosemite.”Support the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!!  https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and  (1) FacebookSources:Tempting the Curse of Chief Tenaya - Tahoe QuarterlyThe Far Side of the Sky - Christopher E.

In this episode, we visit Yosemite, Joshua Tree, and Sequoia–Kings Canyon to understand how the 2025 government shutdown is affecting park staff, local economies, and conservation efforts across the National Park System.While some parks, like Joshua Tree, appear to be operating almost normally, others are showing the strain. Visitor centers are shuttered, maintenance is delayed, and some rangers are working without pay or support. Behind the scenes, nearly two-thirds of National Park Service employees — around 9,300 people — are furloughed or working without pay, and local communities are losing millions in visitor spending each day.We talked with local business owners and visitors about how the shutdown is shaping their experiences — including Seth Zaharias, co-owner of Cliffhanger Guides in Joshua Tree, and Juan, a visitor from Ecuador whose U.S. park tour now looks very different under these conditions.Featured Guests:Emily Douce, Vice President of Government Affairs for the National Parks Conservation Association (https://www.npca.org/people/emily-douce)Seth Zaharias, co-owner of Cliffhanger Guides, Joshua Tree (https://cliffhangerguides.com/)Juan Morales, visitor from Ecuador and founder of Biomas Adventures (https://www.biomasadventures.com/)Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----------------Episode Sourceshttps://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6382796929112https://www.doi.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2025-09/doi-nps-lapse-plan2025930508.pdfhttps://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/park-status-during-2025-lapse.htmhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/16/yosemite-government-shutdown-national-parkshttps://www.npca.org/articles/11003-parks-group-warns-shutdown-leaves-national-parks-open-and-unprotected-whilehttps://www.npr.org/2025/10/04/nx-s1-5562507/national-parks-government-shutdownhttps://www.sfgate.com/national-parks/article/yosemite-national-park-shutdown-illegal-activities-21093093.php

In this episode, we explore the concept of energetic preparation, or "setting up grids," to create smoother, stress-free experiences in everyday life. Whether it's a simple meeting, a complex event, or even a past situation that needs energetic healing, this practice helps align all involved parties at a higher level. By consciously engaging in energetic rehearsals, we can harmonize interactions, align our energies, and craft experiences that support our highest happiness and transformation.Main Topics Covered:1.) Understanding the concept of energetic preparation2.) Steps to set up energetic grids for future events3.) The importance of energetic rehearsals and refinement4.) Healing past experiences through energetic realignment5.) Holding space for transformation and divine timingJoin the Conversation!Have you tried setting up energetic grids?

The federal government is shut down, but the national parks – most of them, anyway – are open. Back during his first term in office President Donald Trump also kept the parks open during the government shutdown that stretched from the end of 2018 into early 2019. That led to some vandalism to the parks and damage to some park resources. How are things going this shutdown? To explore that question, our guest today is Kristen Brengel, the senior vice president of government affairs with the National Parks Conservation Association. 

Granite has shaped climbing history — from Yosemite to crags around the world. In this episode, we're joined by coach Kris Hampton of the Power Company Podcast to unpack why granite feels so damn hard, how to get better at it, and what makes it such a cornerstone of climbing.  LINKS + RESOURCES: Granite Edge from Nature Climbing https://natureclimbing.com/products/stone-hanger-1?srsltid=AfmBOooMlRoLZuMOTsK6t58u95nNftWMPsn35bbkfmw8g9marvDiJvKy Footholds - Resistors https://www.powercompanyclimbing.com/store/p/resistors?aff=11 Wrist Wrench: https://www.armassassinstrengthshop.com/products/axle-wrench note from Kris: My favorite is 2 3/8 with the 3 hole bar and standard texture grip.

Looking for more DTP Content? Check us out: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-links Host John Scardena sits down with Moose Mutlow, Search and Rescue (SAR) expert, author, and instructor based in Yosemite National Park. With over 20 years of frontline experience in swiftwater rescue, recovery, and family liaison operations, Moose shares hard-won lessons about humility, leadership, and resilience in the face of tragedy. The episode opens with John contextualizing a recent Yosemite accident—emphasizing that the discussion was recorded before that event but underscores the real-world gravity of Moose's work. Realities of Search & Rescue Operations Yosemite averages 220 SAR missions annually, from twisted ankles to multi-day helicopter recoveries. Moose recounts six-month recovery efforts and multi-year search closures, explaining how search theory must adapt to reality.  Leadership, Ego, and Humility A central thread throughout the episode is balancing confidence and humility. Moose and John explore the dangers of overconfidence—both in rescues and leadership. “A good leader listens, delegates, and lets go of control,” Moose notes. “You're not the hero if you can't come home.” They discuss teaching younger rangers through “safe humility”—allowing controlled failure to build competence and self-awareness.Emotional Health & Responder Wellness Moose details using the stress continuum to track emotional health, emphasizing the importance of processing trauma before it compounds. He explains the role of Family Liaison Officers in managing information flow to grieving families—balancing empathy, structure, and control. Both men share personal experiences with loss and coping, from fatal rescues to family grief, reinforcing that “holding space in silence” can be the most powerful act of compassion. Writing, Reflection, and Legacy Moose's books—When Accidents Happen and Searching—help responders process trauma through structured reflection. Writing, he says, “forces you to articulate intuition,” turning instinctive experience into teachable frameworks for others. John parallels this idea to the podcast's mission: amplifying field wisdom for professional development and collective growth. The Humanity in Service “Service is a gift, but it comes at a cost,” Moose says, calling for responders to protect their humanity rather than armor it away. The episode ends with a heartfelt reminder to reach out for help, celebrate small joys, and share mental health resources with others.

Nous sommes le 15 juillet 1869… John Muir s'éloigne du troupeau de moutons dont il a la charge et grimpe le flanc de montagne. Entouré de gigantesques pins et du chant des rivières, il gambade joyeusement. Soudain, arrivé au sommet, la vue s'ouvre et John Muir ne peut retenir un cri d'extase. Devant lui, la vallée dont on lui a tant parlé, les sublimes dômes de granite profondément ancrés dans le ciel… tout en bas, en a pic, il n'a qu'à se pencher et il la voit couler, la rivière, la miraculeuse rivière ! … Et puis il y a les cascades, les nombreuses et glorieuses cascades ! La beauté irradie de partout et s'imprime dans la peau de John Muir… Il bondit, crie sa joie, hurle son bonheur, si bien qu'un ours noir s'enfuit du buisson d'à côté… John Muir, né en Ecosse en 1838, aurait pu devenir un inventeur de génie, il a préféré être un promeneur émerveillé. Il a marché à travers les Etats-Unis, du Nord au Sud, puis d'Est en Ouest, pour finalement arriver en Californie. Tombé amoureux de la Sierra Nevada et des montagnes de Yosemite, il écrit et se battit pour protéger un environnement qui était alors attaqué de toute part. Invité : Alexis Jenni, auteur de deux biographies de John Muir aux éditions Paulsen : « J'aurais pu devenir millionnaire, j'ai choisi d'être vagabond » et « Celui qui voulait toujours marcher dans la forêt » illustrée par Anton Van Hertbruggen.

Cary Stayner is a convicted American serial killer whose crimes shocked the nation in 1999. He was the older brother of Steven Stayner, whose childhood abduction and dramatic escape years later had already made the family infamous. While Steven was once portrayed as a tragic hero, Cary's life spiraled into darkness. Working as a handyman near Yosemite National Park, Cary outwardly seemed quiet and unremarkable, but he harbored violent fantasies from a young age. His troubled background, compounded by his brother's notoriety, set the stage for his eventual eruption into brutal violence that would stain his name and overshadow the legacy of his family.The Yosemite Village murders refer to the killings of four women in and around Yosemite National Park in 1999. Cary Stayner first targeted three tourists—Carole Sund, her daughter Juli, and Juli's friend Silvina Pelosso—whom he abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered, before later killing Joie Armstrong, a Yosemite park naturalist. These crimes terrorized the community and drew massive media attention, not only because of their brutality but also because they occurred in such a famed natural landmark. Stayner was arrested and confessed, later being sentenced to death. The case became one of the most infamous examples of serial murder in California history, forever linking Yosemite with a dark chapter of violence and betrayal of trust.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.outsideonline.com/adventure-travel/yosemite-horror/

Cancer drugs cost more than ever, yet survival benefits are often modest—and in some cases, patients can't even access the care that already exists. After losing his father, Steve Jobs, to pancreatic cancer, Reed Jobs committed himself to making this the last generation that loses parents to the disease.Reed now leads Yosemite, a venture fund spun out of Emerson Collective in 2023, alongside Investor Matt Bettonville. Yosemite pairs life sciences and digital health investments with a grantmaking model to accelerate cancer research and ensure breakthroughs actually reach patients.We cover:

Ever feel like you're just watching life from the valley instead of climbing the mountain?In this message, guest speaker Carl Kuhl shares stories—from Yosemite hikes to Navy SEAL missions—that point us to something bigger: following Jesus means stepping out of comfort, giving up control, and saying yes to a better way of life.Carl challenges us to move from being spectators to participants—because when we serve, when we risk, and when we say yes, we discover the kind of full life Jesus talked about.Ready to take your next step?Join the 1PM Launch Team: https://communitychurchli.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1042866

What happens when you spot not just one Sasquatch—but two—climbing a muddy hillside in a thunderstorm, right in front of your truck? In this unforgettable episode, we meet a witness who recalls seeing a motherly Sasquatch with a smaller one by her side near Twin Bridges, Missouri. Lightning cracked through the Ozarks as the two figures disappeared into the woods, leaving behind only awe and questions. But that's just one of the encounters shared here.You'll also hear from Melissa in Southwest Virginia, who saw a Sasquatch tap on her second-story window; an outdoorsman in Texas who watched a creature ambush a deer; and a camper in Yosemite's Tioga Pass who felt drawn back by something he couldn't explain and MANY MORE ACCOUNTS! These stories span from the forests of Oregon and Appalachia to the riverbanks of Texas—and each one carries the same chilling thread: they saw something. And it saw them back.

This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today our guest is Amber Smith.Amber is a femme-queer AMGA Certified Rock Guide with over a decade of experience. Most summers you'll find her at the Yosemite Mountaineering School, climbing grandiose granite walls with her guests. She is passionate about playful, trauma-aware, and embodiment-focused instruction, and she views climbing as an opportunity for powerful personal transformation. If you go climbing with her, she will encourage you to craft a positive affirmation to hone your power.Before landing in Yosemite, she guided throughout the western United States. She has led glacier mountaineering and alpine rock objectives in Washington's North Cascades, ski descents in Wyoming's Grand Tetons, sandstone crack climbs in Utah's deserts, and girls' climate science research expeditions on Alaska's glaciers. In 2016, Amber earned a degree in Geography and wrote her undergraduate thesis on what she called “Feminist Outdoor Leadership: A Guide to Facilitation Strategies for Inclusion and Participant Empowerment in Outdoor Adventure.”I enjoyed my conversations with Amber. Her thoughtfulness was evident when listening to her reflections on her life journeys. She is also inquisitive and not shy about experimenting with new ideas. She is keen on exploring her inner voices to facilitate her own growth and be tuned to others' needs. Now please enjoy this episode with Amber.What We Talked AboutAmber's current, past, and future plansAmber's Affirmation on guiding – be safe, have fun, try your bestDoubts and questions about guiding as a professionEngrossed in the outdoor leadership program in collegeFeminist outdoor leadershipFrom Oregon to Washington, stepping into commercial guiding and keep her foot in outdoor educationTransitioning to Yosemite and guiding full timeLoved the Yosemite climbing communityYosemite climbing and work culturesHosted a webinar about working in YosemiteThinking entrepreneurial  – mental health and mindset fieldsLearn to Lead with mindfulness clinicsExperiments / Curiosities on grief and climbing and guidingAffirmation in life – exercise your weakness, leverage your strengths, don't worry about the looksQuote:Keep my priorities clear. And its number one, keep yourself and your guests safe. If that's all I do at the end of the day, nobody had a great time, but at least we were safe, then that was a successful day.I'd say that's the whole journey of this industry for me is building the confidence in my voice, trusting myself and figuring out how to be myself in these spaces while also still sort of meeting some of the expectations of what your employers and your clients may want from you.I'm definitely not [the best climbers in the world]. But what I am good at is supporting people in their climbing goals. And that's what the job is actually about..I think that's really rad that I'm an ebike commuter to my rock guiding job.I think we get a lot of burnout when we're not being intellectually stimulated.I'm basically not like ingraining negative association with the experience. I'm keeping my association with the process positive. and by having these positive associations, then I want to keep doing itOne of the most important attributes of a guide is that you need to be intuitive with your guests. It's very customer service type job. And we need to be intuitively listening to what they need all day.... MoreEP 52 – Amber Smith – AffirMATIONs – Female Guides Requested Podcast

Law enforcement rangers cleared an illegal cannabis grow in Sequoia National Park, where they found thousands of plants, toxic chemicals, and major environmental damage. A new national park could be coming to Florida—legislation has been introduced to study the creation of “Florida Springs National Park.” Workers at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon have voted overwhelmingly to unionize, joining a growing movement across the Park Service. Plus: new hunting and fishing opportunities at wildlife refuges, the Maurice Bathhouse restoration at Hot Springs, a fruitless year at Capitol Reef's orchards, and more.

My guest is Alex Honnold, a professional rock climber considered by many to be one of the greatest athletes of all time for his historic free solo (no ropes or man-made holds) ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite. We discuss how to envision massive goals in any part of life and the process of breaking down those goals into actionable daily steps. Alex shares how embracing your uniqueness and mortality is the most powerful way to envision and live a fuller, more intentional life. We also discuss strength and endurance training, assessing risk and how Alex prepares mentally and physically for extreme challenges. We also discuss how to balance goal-seeking with family and work. Regardless of your goals, profession or age, this conversation will very likely reshape how you think about and approach your life, goals and potential.
