Dreams… I have dreams.. & this episode is all about dreams. How to dream big in a world that tells us to dream small. I’ve done a lot of experimenting in my 20s— I’ve traveled, became a barista, tried acting, worked on a farm, started ultra running…and the list goes on. Recently I’ve been thinking about how many dreams I still have — to run across America, live in Europe again, own a business… and the list goes on. But sometimes it feels like the world isn’t built for dreams. I think everyone should dream. I think everyone should be passionate & excited & take risks & try new things.
So… how do we keep our dreams alive in a world that tells us to be “realistic”?
That’s what I’m diving into this week.

What started as steps on a trail turned into a powerful path of self-discovery, empowerment, and community building. We dive into the role of self-efficacy, the unique camaraderie of trail running, and the mission of Women of the Wasatch to elevate women in outdoor spaces. Allie also opens up about navigating life transitions, the beauty of vulnerability, and why you don’t have to “earn” your place to belong. Whether you’re a runner, a seeker, or just navigating your 20s or 30s, this episode is a reminder that growth often comes from showing up, letting go, and leaning into what truly matters.

We daydream about the good parts of adventure — the sunrise views, the open roads, the highs. But bikepacking isn’t just a highlight reel. In this episode, I’m recapping my recent trip and reflecting on the full spectrum of the experience: the joy, the struggle, the surprises, and the moments that made me question why I was even doing this.

I share why I believe every trip is a lifetime in miniature, why being underprepared might be better than never going at all, and what bikepacking reminded me about showing up — for the journey, and for yourself.

Whether you’re a rider, a dreamer, or someone who’s been waiting to feel “ready” — this one’s for you.
