You're listening to the Adventure Sports Podcast.

We talk with adventures from around the globe to give you the inspiration you need to get started in the outdoors or keep moving if you're already there.

Now here's your host, Kurt Lindville. Nature inspires. It can provide us with

the space we need to process, to discover, to feel. That's a lot of what this episode is about.

In addition to the idea of women solo adventuring. It has a lot to do with

discovery, discovery that nature allows. And it was a joy to talk with Lisa about her books

and her experiences in nature and all that.

But I think that perhaps the takeaway from this one really is that nature inspires, nature heals,

and on some level I think we're made for it.

It's our home. It's where we came from.

Thanks, Lisa, for sharing your heart and for sharing amazing stories about the impacts that nature can have.

Hi, friends. Welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast today. I'm excited about this interview because Lisa Michelle is an adventurer, but she uses nature and

experiences that she has in nature and lessons learned from nature to inform her writing.

And she's written both fiction and nonfiction.

She's a best-selling psychological thriller author, which is fantastic, but she's also written a book

called True Nature, Hidden in the High Sierra, but she is a snowboarder. She likes fly fishing,

long solo hikes, and here's something interesting that we're going to dive into. She wants

to talk about the value of women doing solo adventure and that that holds some special magic.

And I want to know what that is.

So Lisa, welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast.

Hi, Kurt.

Thank you for having me.
