The Camino de Santiago has been on my list of things to do since 1996 when I first read Paulo Coelho’s book about it, so it’s definitely somethin...

January 16, 2023 08:00 - 16 minutes - 16.1 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode!

I recently read her fantastic book, Ultrarunning Mysticism: Mind, Body, Spirit and the Sacredness of Overcoming Suffering. This book put words to an experience that I had had many times but couldn’t describe. It’s also not just for ultrarunning.

January 02, 2023 08:00 - 15 minutes - 15.5 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! Inspired by an entire week of armchair adventures over the holiday season, I've decided to share my experience with you and remind you of the importance (and pleasure!) of armchair adventures.

December 12, 2022 08:00 - 26 minutes - 25.4 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This week's episode is late because I've been ill for a couple of weeks, lost my voice, and had to cancel two interviews. My voice is still a bit off, but at least I'm no longer croaking like a whispering frog. In this episode, I reflect on my experience working toward my black belt in kickboxing. I discuss what it took to pass the grading, and what I learned from the experience. I also reflect on how it's affected my outdoor adventures, and how t...

488 Holly Worton ~ When Your Adventures Scare You
November 28, 2022 08:00 - 21 minutes - 21 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! Fear is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. A few weeks ago, on episode 483 with Erica Terblanche, we briefly discussed the importance of choosing things you're terrified of. That concept stuck in my mind. I know I'm always talking about the importance of stepping outside of our comfort zone, and that's because I've been doing that a lot lately, especially in the last six months. Listen To This Episode What You'll ...

I originally discovered him on PodcastGuests.com which, incidentally, is a great place to find guests for a podcast – or to pitch yourself to be featured on other shows. A few months ago, I read his fantastic novel, The Trail, which I really enjoyed. Ethan is super knowledgeable about the John Muir Trail, and it shows in both his book and his conversations about the trail. He’s hiked the trail twice, and he shares his tips in this...
486 Holly Worton – How Outdoor Adventures Help Us to Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable
November 14, 2022 08:00 - 16 minutes - 15.8 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This week, I'm talking about how outdoor adventures teach you what you can accomplish when you increase your tolerance for discomfort. This is a conversation that's come up with a couple of different people recently, and I wanted to share it here. I would never have been able to run 100km if I hadn't gotten through many uncomfortable runs. I would never have completed the Coast to Coast – or any of my trails – if I hadn't pushed beyond discomfort....
485 Marie-Pier Tremblay ~ How To Go After Big Dreams And Adventures, Even When You Think It's Impossible
November 07, 2022 08:00 - 40 minutes - 38 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Marie-Pier Tremblay. We were recently introduced by Allison Boyle from episode 475. Just three years ago, Marie overcame doubt and fear to hike one of my dream trails: the Pacific Crest Trail. In this episode, we talk about what Marie learned on the trail, and how she overcame fears to make it happen.

October 31, 2022 08:00 - 16 minutes - 16.1 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This week, I discuss the pagan new year or cycle and why this is such a great time to evaluate your year of adventures and plan the upcoming year. As you may know, I'm a big planner. In my experience, if I don't get clear on my vision of what I want to experience in the coming weeks and months, time can pass by and I don't do anything meaningful. Listen To This Episode What You'll Learn Why now is a good time to review your year...

About Erica Terblanche Erica is a life and well-being ...

October 17, 2022 08:00 - 19 minutes - 18.5 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! Today I'll be talking about something that I've been reflecting on a lot lately. I talk a lot about personal growth and mindset – and it's true these two things are a big part of my life. I'm always looking at how I can learn and grow. The thing is, there's always room for more growth – but do you want it? Do you really need it? A few months ago, I talked about balancing growth with integration, and I do think that's important. But even more impor...
481 Corinne Kowal ~ Adventure on the Cape Wrath Trail
October 10, 2022 08:00 - 49 minutes - 46 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Corinne Kowal. I first discovered Corinne on Instagram, where I saw that she was planning to hike the Cape Wrath Trail, which has been on my bucket list for a couple of years now. I avidly followed her preparations for the trip, and couldn’t wait to hear more once she returned. The Cape Wrath Trail is often considered to be one of Britain’s most challenging trails, mostly due to its remoteness and rough terrain. I find it appealing because I love...
480 Holly Worton ~ Making Your Adventures Non-Negotiable
October 03, 2022 08:00 - 24 minutes - 23 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This episode is a great companion to episode 377, where I talked about How to Prioritize Your Hobbies and Adventures. In that episode, I discussed the practical side of prioritizing your hobbies and adventures. I also covered how to determine how much free time you have to devote to your hobbies, how to design your ideal week and see how your hobbies fit in, how to get clear on why your hobbies are so important to you, and how to see if your mindset...
479 Jay Worthy ~ How to Live Adventurously With the 28 Summers Philosophy
September 26, 2022 08:00 - 42 minutes - 40.4 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Jay Worthy. He’s got a great concept called 28 Summers that I look forward to sharing with you. About Jay Worthy Jay Worthy is the host of the 28 Summers podcast and co-host of the Man Alive podcast (launching Summer 2022).

478 Holly Worton ~ The Importance of Showing Up for Your Adventures
September 19, 2022 08:00 - 24 minutes - 23.1 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! Last week, I was interviewing Erica Terblanche for episode 483 and we talked a bit about the importance of showing up. It was just a quick mention, and I made note of it because I knew I wanted to dive deeper into the topic on a solo episode. In fact, I made several notes of concepts that I wanted to explore on upcoming solo episodes. “Showing up” is something I've been reflecting on lately as I prepare for my black belt grading in December (f...
477 Nicole Snell ~ Mastering Outdoor Self-Defense
September 12, 2022 08:00 - 48 minutes - 45.4 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Nicole Snell. She’s another person I discovered on Instagram. I get asked a lot about how women can stay safe in the outdoors, and so I’m excited to invite someone on the show who is an actual expert in this field. Women are often worried not about the practicalities of being in the outdoors, but about human predators. Training in some type of self-defense technique is incredibly useful not only in the outdoors but in our day-to-day lives. Learni...
476 Holly Worton ~ How to Know When Enough is Enough With Your Hobbies and Adventures
September 05, 2022 08:00 - 21 minutes - 21 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! Today I'm talking about how to know when enough is enough with our hobbies and outdoor adventures. Our hobbies and adventures don't have to be forever. But it can be hard to let go, especially when our hobby is a big part of our identity. We might even worry what will people think of me? There's a difference between giving up and choosing to let go because you've had enough. Here's how to know when enough is enough and it's time to let go a...
475 Allison Boyle ~ Planning Your Adventures Around Your Seasons of Life
August 29, 2022 08:00 - 33 minutes - 32 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Allison Boyle. I first discovered her on Instagram, where she posts all you need to know to have outdoor adventures. Allison posts about backcountry hygiene, solo hiking for women, and more. As you know, I tend to over plan my life, which sometimes leads to overwhelm and frustration. I absolutely love this concept of planning life around themes that last for a season, and then measuring success based on how my experiences matched up with that...

August 22, 2022 08:00 - 39 minutes - 36.8 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Kimberly from Gal on the Go.

Kimberly is so much fun to talk to, because she doesn’t just focus on one or two types of adventures—she does all kinds of things. She’s really inspire...
473 Holly Worton ~ The Power of Mindset in Sports and Adventure Performance
August 15, 2022 08:00 - 26 minutes - 36.8 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! I just had a chat with Eric Deeter this afternoon for his podcast. You may remember Eric from episode 468, where we talked about the “ultramarathon mindset.” In it, he mentioned that a lot of people think that to train for a race, they just need to follow a plan and do the physical workouts. They don't realize that they could also benefit from working on their mindset. This led me to think about a topic that had been on the back of my mind for...
472 Richard Hill ~ Adventures in Stealth Camping
August 08, 2022 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.7 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Richard Hill, otherwise known as Day Tripper. I first discovered him earlier this year when I was looking for videos on the Coast to Coast. From there, I started watching his other videos about his outdoor adventures. I was particularly interested in his videos on stealth camping. This is a type of wild camping that’s commonly done in more urban or semi-urban environments, where the aim is to go unnoticed. I’ve been wanting to try this for myself...
471 Brad Borkan ~ Goal Setting for Adventures and Life
August 01, 2022 08:00 - 43 minutes - 41 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Brad Borkan. This is Brad's third time on the show. He was a guest on episodes 422 and 370, where we talked about Adventures in Audacious Goal Setting and How Outdoor Adventures Can Help You Make Better Decisions In Life. Now he's back, and we're talking about goal setting for our adventures and other areas of life. I find that when I achieve a goal in my adventures, it really expands my perspective of what's possible for me in other areas of lif...
470 Holly Worton ~ A Walk In The Woods
July 25, 2022 08:00 - 25 minutes - 24.7 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This week, I take you on a walk in the woods. This is a kind of guided journey, designed to help you connect with nature on your walks. It's a total experiment, so if you don't love it, no worries! I probably won't be trying this again in the future. If you do love it, though, let me know—I might find some other way of doing stuff like this. I did enjoy the concept of taking you with me on a walk. Listen To This Episode Wha...
469 Holly Worton ~ How to Crew for an Ultramarathon
July 18, 2022 08:00 - 33 minutes - 31.6 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This week, I talk about how to crew for a friend, family member, or someone else on their race, long training run, or other events. My husband and I had a really successful race when he ran the South Downs Way 100 this year, and I wanted to share what we did to help things run smoothly. Listen To This Episode What You'll Learn What is crewing for a race or other training event Why crewing is so important How to use a spread...
468 Eric Deeter ~ Use the Ultramarathon Mindset to Get Your Epic Life
July 11, 2022 08:00 - 42 minutes - 40.1 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Eric Deeter. He’s an ultramarathon runner and mindset coach—two things I really love talking about. In this episode, we discuss what Eric calls the “100-mile mindset” or the “ultramarathon mindset.” This mindset, which is something that can be applied to all areas of life, embodies lessons learned from running ultramarathons. We discuss how to apply ultramarathon principles to life, such as making gradual progress, pacing, and managing energy and...
467 Holly Worton ~ Hike Your Own Hike, On The Trail And In Life
July 04, 2022 08:00 - 19 minutes - 19.1 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This episode was inspired by a novel I recently read, called The Trail. Some of the characters were a bit judgmental about other hikers, despite the fact that they were aware of the concept “hike your own hike.” This is something I've seen a lot in books about the Camino de Santiago, and it always grates on my nerves. “Hike your own hike” is a concept that I think is super important, not just on the trail and on our adventures, but in life. ...
466 Holly Worton ~ Adventures in Integration
June 27, 2022 08:00 - 23 minutes - 22.9 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This episode is based on a request from a listener, who wrote the following: I would love to hear your thoughts about the seasons we go through, especially rest and quiet, when it doesn't feel like we are "actively growing" but maybe it's a time for letting everything settle in or preparing for the next big leap. How do you mentally, emotionally, spiritually switch gears, what strategies do you use to maximize the energy you do have during those t...
465 Vaishnavi Viswanathan ~ Adventures in Nature Connection
June 20, 2022 08:00 - 28 minutes - 27 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Vaishnavi Viswanathan. We originally met on Instagram, where Vaishnavi interviewed me last year. We’ve had this podcast chat in the plans for almost a year now, and I’m so pleased that we finally made it happen. I hope it inspires you to connect with nature in new and joyful ways! About Vaishnavi Vaishnavi Viswanathan is a vagabond by heart and loves to explore life to the fullest. She loves to dabble in anything creative, play with dogs,...
464 Robert Bendetti ~ How to Hike the Grand Canyon Rim2Rim2Rim Trail
June 13, 2022 08:00 - 48 minutes - 45.7 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Robert Bendetti. Last year, he hiked through the Grand Canyon from the south rim to the north rim and back to the south rim (also known as the Rim2Rim2Rim). The route he took was 50 miles in length, with 22,000 feet (6,705 meters) of elevation change. He did this solo and unsupported in just 23 hours, on a day that reached 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). I’m not great with heat, so I’m not sure if I’ll ever make it over to Arizon...
463 Holly Worton ~ There's No Failure, Only Feedback: When Our Adventures Go “Wrong”
June 06, 2022 08:00 - 22 minutes - 21.5 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! I've talked quite a bit about success on this podcast, mostly back in the day when I was discussing business. I've also spoken on failure, most notably back in episode 341, which is a great companion to this one. I've been reflecting on my goals for this year, and how I've adjusted them from their original versions. I've had to change my timeline for my two big goals, and I'm only just now coming to terms with that. Because my episode on How t...
462 Holly Worton ~ Overcoming the Fear of Solo Walking and Adventures
May 30, 2022 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.6 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! I've been asked to comment on this topic a couple of times in recent weeks, so I thought it would be worth exploring this issue a little more. I'm not going to talk about how to stay safe in the outdoors in terms of practical knowledge and skills. I'm going to address the biggest fear that most people talk to me about when we discuss solo walking and adventures: fear of other people, namely men. I feel like I've been skirting around this topic...
461 Holly Worton ~ Adventure on Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk
May 23, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! I just returned from walking Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk, which was a huge uplevel for me. It was a longer trail than I'd ever walked before, and I was camping along the whole way, which was new for me. It meant that I'd have to carry a lot more in my pack than usual. All in all, it was a fantastic adventure! Many lessons were learned, and I still need to troubleshoot some issues before I do something like this again (for example, I need ...
460 Katherine Leamy ~ How to Travel Light on Your Adventures
May 16, 2022 08:00 - 39 minutes - 36.9 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Katherine Leamy. I’ve been following her on Instagram for a few months, and I really love her approach to lightweight travel and adventure. In this episode she shares her top tips for traveling light. I’ve never thought of myself as a light traveler, but there have been several occasions in life where people have looked at my bag and been shocked at how little I was traveling with, so I guess I am! In this episode, Katherine shares her ...
459 Holly Worton ~ How to Know When You're Putting Too Much Pressure on Yourself
May 09, 2022 08:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! As I record this episode, I’m getting ready to go walk the Coast to Coast with two friends. For various reasons, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed about life in general, and I’m starting to rethink all my plans, goals, and projects for the year—which is a huge surprise to me, especially since I thought I kept things simple for this year. Right now, I’m choosing to focus on getting ready for the trip and wrapping up work projects before I go. But w...
458 Holly Worton ~ Getting Back to Sports and Adventures After a Long Break
May 02, 2022 08:00 - 22 minutes - 21.4 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This week, I'm talking about how to go back to old sports and adventures after it's been a while. You might know that I haven't done much kickboxing since Covid started—first, because classes moved online and were only sporadically held in-person due to the ins and outs of lockdown; and second, because I had a shoulder injury for all of last year. I got back into kickboxing in January of this year, and that was really challenging. I was terrif...
457 Sarah K Brandis ~ Running For Better Mental Health And Riding To Conquer Your Fears
April 25, 2022 08:00 - 46 minutes - 43.1 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Sarah K Brandis. Sarah and I are offline friends, and we’ve gone on several walks in the woods together. She was also a guest on episode 380, where we discussed what to do when our passions lead to burnout. Late last year, Sarah started cycling to work in London, and I’ve been following her commuting adventures on Instagram. I wanted to get her back on the show to talk about how she’s overcome her fears of road cycling. I know that a lot of p...
456 Jenny Mowbray ~ How to Fund Your Adventures With a Flexible Portfolio Career
April 18, 2022 08:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBI'm excited to reintroduce this week's guest, Jenny Mowbray. She was on the show just a few months ago in December 2021, when we talked about solo travel and adventures when you’re in a committed relationship. As soon as we wrapped up that episode, I knew I wanted Jenny to come back on the show to talk about how to create a portfolio career. This episode is inspired by one of Jenny’s blog posts: “Freelance, Freedom & Flexibility! Build a Mosaic Portfolio Career and ditch the 9-5 for go...
455 Moose Mutlow ~ Adventures in Wild Spaces
April 11, 2022 08:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Moose Mutlow. He’s kind of the opposite of me in the sense that he’s a Brit who lives in California. Moose is an experienced outdoorsman with a background in search and rescue. This episode explores why we’re so drawn to visit wild spaces and what these places give to us. We also discuss tips on how to survive and thrive in the wilderness, especially when we’re new to getting out in wild places. About Moose Moose has been active in th...
454 Karese Laguerre ~ Adventures in Breathing
April 04, 2022 08:00 - 32 minutes - 44.9 MBI'm excited to introduce this week's guest, Karese Laguerre. In this episode, we talk about something most of us probably don’t think much about: breathing. I’ve got asthma, and according to some people, I’m a “weird” breather (you’ll hear more about that in this episode) so it’s definitely something I’m aware of. What I didn’t know before this episode was how simple it can be to fix some breathing difficulties. Karese gives super simple tips on how we can identify breathing issues and impro...
453 Holly Worton ~ Finding the Motivation for Your Adventures
March 28, 2022 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBI'm back again, with another solo episode! This topic was inspired by a post I saw on Instagram at the start of the year: “NO ONE is 100% motivated to go for a run 100% of the time. Instead of relying on motivation, you have to make running a habit. Identify your ‘roadblocks’, things that make it easy to say no to a run, & develop strategies to minimize them. Aim for CONSISTENCY, not perfection. Start with a REALISTIC schedule & mindset instead of an ‘all or nothing’ attitude.” I...
