Hiatus

For over three years, the Outdoor Minimalist platform has been a big part of my existence and growth as a creative and journalist.

I've put a lot into the show, especially this year when we added a Friday episode about public lands.

But I need a break.

With the recent passing of my dog, Ash, I need time to process and grieve the loss of my best friend and biggest inspiration. Ash is the reason I was able to write my book, create two podcasts, and chase my dreams. He walked beside me, quite literally, every single day for the last eight years.

That said, we aren't ending the show, but for now, we're on pause.

Ash's strength and propensity for motion until the very end will continue to inspire me. He loved our public lands and wild spaces more than anyone else I know.

So, in the meantime, I'm going outside to grieve and recharge so I can live to fight another day to protect the spaces we so cherished in our life together.

If you've enjoyed the show up until this point and want to show us some love, consider leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts.

Stay tuned for more to come. 🌈
