  • Résumé

  • Long-distance solo hiker Alison Young knows hard-core backpacking as few people do. With footprints on six continents and memories from trails like Te Araroa and the Pacific Crest, she is a member of a very small and prestigious group.

    In a series of personal essays coupled with found sound and her own flute playing, this podcast explores her journey of self-discovery as a middle-aged woman, sharing the sometimes unglamorous but vital truth about empowerment, inspiring others to blaze their own trails in this journey we call life.

  • Be Where Your Feet Are

    Be Where Your Feet Are
    May 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Walking through woodland ephemerals in early spring reminds us to embrace impermanence and stay present in the here and now.

    • We have a saying in the hiker community, “Be Where Your Feet Are.”

    • It’s all about staying present in the moment and not dwelling too much on the past or worrying about the future. To “be where your feet are” quite literally encourages us to stay grounded.

    • On an early spring hike through woodland wildflowers, Blissful Hiker considers the ephemeral quality of our own lives and it makes her appreciate even more the experience of walking with friends in this beauty.

    MUSIC: "Introduccion y Allegro" by Carlos Gaustavino as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.

    The Trail Will Provide

    Hiking has a way of making us more resilient, not so much manifested as strength and persistence, but in developing trust and embracing the unknown.

    • We have a saying in the hiker community, “The Trail Will Provide.”

    • It signifies the aid and assistance hikers encounter on trail, encouraging trust and faith that things will work out.

    • On a section hike of the Continental Divide Trail, Blissful encounters a miracle and realizes that allowing the trail to provide is part of successfully walking a long trail and also living life too.

    MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
