Description
Welcome to the wild woman podcast, on this podcast I bring to surface the conversations we have in private about the outdoor community. My hope is that by sharing these challenging topics, I can break the ice, promote positive change, and empower people to be more informed, aware, and intentional with their actions. I’m an adventure life coach, and whitewater kayak instructor based out of Asheville, NC. I specialize in empowering outdoor athletes and enthusiasts to overcome the mental side of adventure so that they can feel safe, secure and satisfied with their adventures and their life. Check out my website www.wildwomanbecca.com for more on what I do.
