Storytelling is a key element in closing the gender gap, outdoors and in. But it’s not always easy to speak up!
We’ve spoken lately with women who’ve said:
- “I’m not an elite athlete. Why would anyone care about my story?”
- “There are people doing cooler adventures than me, so mine isn’t a big deal.”
- “If I put myself out there and speak up, people will think I’m silly.”
Angie shares a heart-to-heart for any woman who loves the outdoors but is hesitant to turn up the volume on their own voice, including:
- How YOU sharing your story can change the world
- Why we need diverse perspectives and voices in the outdoors, from trip reports to scholarships
- When Angie realized that her personal adventures could positively impact the outdoor community
- Countering the common mindset traps that women face when sharing their stories
- Visibility isn’t the same as vanity
- Finding your voice and mining for personal stories
- How The Cairn Project can support you as you begin to share your stories
Send this episode to a friend who you believe has an amazing story that the world needs to hear.
