I'm Gail Strob and you're listening to She Explores.

I asked myself what makes me happy, not what society wants me to do, to make all the people

around me happy.

And I use those things to create my new framework, my new normal.

And I realized that an outdoor lifestyle was what felt right my entire life and I never had the opportunity to do that. I didn't even have any of the

gear yet, but I identified if people asked me, so what do you do? One of the things I said is I'm an all-around adventure sports woman and today I am an all-around

This is Antonette Lee Toscano.

Like Olivia, who we heard from last episode, Antoinette wears a lot of different hats.

She's an outdoor industry consultant, a writer, philanthropist, and motivational health and

wellness speaker.

Antoinette started pursuing her lifelong love of the outdoors as part of her ongoing recovery for a traumatic brain injury,

Antoinette is also a contributor to women in water, the new book from the team behind she explorers.
