Woman Up High podcast is where women who aim to live meaningful, adventurous lives come for information and inspiration to elevate their mind, body and soul through outdoor exploration. Think, holistic outdoor wellness for adventurous, growth oriented women!Brought to you by Emily Lake, a woman just like you - a full-time working single mother of two who not only found healing in the outdoors after divorce, but her voice and identity too, transforming from a silent, small existence to one of courageous adventure by reconnecting to the natural world. Drawing on years of personal experiences in mostly solo hiking and backpacking, Emily discusses mindset and personal growth for mastering yourself (and not the mountain), gear needs and selection for your outdoor adventures, physical training and fueling on and off the trail, details beyond logistics and trip planning, and the overall skills and knowledge you need to connect with nature and yourself for a meaningful, adventurous life you are proud of and can grow from. If you have a curiosity inside you, a dream bigger than you believe attainable, a deep desire for something more in your life...and a longer list of reasons why you can't or don't know how to pursue them, Emily assures you it’s more attainable than you think, and feels even better than you imagine! Through dreaming big, pushing beyond the edge of your personal boundaries, pursuing internal and external exploration, and growing through discomfort, you will transform your life.With this podcast, Emily will talk you through how you can use outdoor adventure to transform your life, one trail at a time! With her personal stories, actionable advice, and thoughtful discussions, she gives you the inspiration and practical tools for you to find your path to cultivate and nurture your untapped human potential, elevating into a fuller version of yourself - over and over again.
In this inaugural episode, meet me, Emily, your podcast host and listen to me share my story of what brought me to be here with you now. I share one of the most pivotal points in my life, how I returned to nature for healing, and about my most memorable trail experience.
“In a time when I was feeling the least familiar with myself and recognized myself the least. I went into the place where I felt most at home. That was nature.”
Along the way, I open up about my process of moving from loss to finding identity and strength again. I use my story and what I’ve learned to encourage you to dream big, push beyond boundaries, and gift yourself an adventurous life that will propel you toward continual evolvement in your life.
“If you've ever been in a situation where you are using your body in a very physically intense way, where it is demanding a lot out of you, you really can't be distracted by anything other than the most important thing that is in front of you in that moment.”
Finally, I outline what the Woman Up High podcast will offer you going forward, being a forum where women like you and I who want to live meaningful, adventurous lives can find insightful information on mindset and personal growth, gear, logistics and trip planning, physical training, and skills and knowledge to live out our dreams, growing along the journey together.
