Hey, it's Jessica Honegger, founder of the socially conscious fashion brand Noonday

collection. Welcome to the Going Scared Podcast. Welcome back. I hope that you are going scared podcast.

Welcome back. I hope that you are having an amazing summer.

I am actually in Alaska as you listen to this

if you're listening to it when it launches and that's what makes

today's episode so much fun because Jennifer Farr Davis is an outdoor

adventure she's actually a professional long distance hiker which I didn't even know that that was a profession until talking with her.

She's an entrepreneur, author, mom, she's climbed everywhere from Machu Picchu to six different

continents and on top of it all she set the overall speed record for hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2011.

She talks about the difference between stopping and quitting.

And what draws Jennifer to life on the trails is that they give you what you need.

And for her that's meant self-discovery, maturity, and resilience.

It's one reason that really got me outside and excited to go on our trip to Alaska.

Give it a listen.

Hey Jennifer, welcome to the show.

Thanks so much for having me. And I'm really excited to talk with you today.

I was just laying on a beach in Vietnam last week and that is where I read your first book

Becoming Odessa and then I started on

your most recent book and it really made me want to go on a hike everywhere but

Pennsylvania.

Well that's really funny because every time you take a hike my husband must to be on a beach in Vietnam.

So yeah, I know I love hiking and trails and they've hiked all over the US and all over the world.
