I don’t even think I fully had realized at the time that that’s what I was doing, was trying to run away… there was just a draw to go somewhere else and do something grand.

Lindsay Currier, Bikepack Maine

Don’t give up - just have reasonable expectations. I don’t have expectations really for anything anymore in my life, and that’s just made my life a lot better.

Enough excuses! If it sounds a little scary, a little hard, and a little fun, make it a ‘HELL YES’!

Amy Hopkins, Saltwater Mountain Co.

The next day, I thought “Wow, that felt really good, I need to go back and do that again”. And so I did. And I didn’t stop.

I’m really inspired by that whole concept of bringing people together… I’m really fed by relationships and connecting people, and I don’t think I’m going to tire of always creating new ways to do that. The practice of sauna-ing and meeting new people in that context can help a lot of people.

Paige Emerson, Chubby Hiker Reviews

The thing that I’ve noticed is, hiking is my passion, it’s the thing that makes me feel better, and so I need to stop not doing that when I don’t feel good, because it makes me feel better… it makes things better even when life sucks.

Saige Linsay, Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness

I, in particular, love the whitewater community, and I’m not saying that our community isn’t great - but we can always make it better, right??

Tori Gray, The Wilderness Guru

I actually find a lot of peace in sitting in silence in the wilderness, because to me - it’s not sitting in silence.

Michelle Boyer, Arctic Lynx Maternity Activewear

If activity is part of your life pre-pregnancy, I think that it’s such a gift to stay active during pregnancy and beyond.
