This outdoor backpacking educator and empowerment coach shares her story about becoming confident, safe and self-sufficient in the outdoors and now she empowers other women to do the same regardless of their experience.
In this episode we discuss:
- Allison’s journey from feeling clueless in the outdoors to gaining full confidence in herself and her skills to be on her own as well as lead others.
- How her “year of yes” lead her to following her passion for the outdoors and eventually transitioning from her traditional 9 to 5 to going full-time in her outdoor education business and blog, She Dreams of Alpine.
- How developing the right mindset in the outdoors can be just as important as learning the skills in becoming a successful backpacker.
- How backpacking can be a metaphor for life and overcoming life’s challenges.
- Why it’s important to have your own back vs relying on outside opinions.
- The difference in the energy of proving something to yourself vs trying to prove someone else wrong.
- The importance of being willing to fail and release the fear of looking ridiculous in new situations.
- Her signature program, Become an Outdoor Backpacking Badass which teaches women self-empowerment in the outdoors.

Thank you for sharing, my experience with backpacking was when I backpacked from Boston, Massachusetts to Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada. The journey was cathartic, and with a great sense of surviving, helped with enjoyment journeying by backpacking. I truly enjoyed your podcast.
Thanks so much for listening! That sounds like quite the adventure. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and share your experience.
