True Nature: Resilience and Healing in the High Sierra.

In today’s episode of the Outdoor Adventure Series, we sit down with Lisa Michelle, an outdoor adventurer and author of "True Nature: Hidden in the High Sierra." 

Join us as Lisa shares the transformation that took her from a life deeply rooted in rodeo and horses to one of solo wilderness adventures across the Sierra Nevada. With warmth and authenticity, Lisa opens up about her journey to reconnect with nature, the lessons learned from going it alone on the trail, and the soulful experiences that shaped her book. So grab your coffee or adult beverage, take a seat by your favorite window (or campfire!), and let’s get started on another Outdoor Adventure.
