139 ~ Stasia Honnold ~ Human Powered Adventurer
September 01, 2020 19:19 - 1 hour - 77 MBToday’s guest is Stasia Honnold. Stasia is an adventurer. But not just any kind of adventurer – she’s a human-powered adventurer. So what does that mean? In short, she bikes, she hikes and she runs. And rarely does she use a car do to any of those. She’s a woman who makes up her own adventures and figures out how to execute on them with lots of planning and organizing. As Stasia says, she lives by a set of values and makes her life choices based on these values – doing no harm – and in...

And not just moving (like me, with running) but by doing exercises that help with every day movement--like lifting your luggage into the overhead bin of a flight. As Liz points out, 2.8 million people die ea...

120 ~ Staying Focused During Difficult Times - Deep Dive with Beth and Chris Fagan
March 17, 2020 13:44 - 42 minutes - 34.3 MBToday’s episode is another deep dive with myself and Chris Fagan. I didn’t want to necessarily record one of these episodes ALL about the coronavirus. There’s plenty of information and resources out there. But I also didn’t want to completely ignore it and what it’s doing to all of us right now. I’ve seen a lot of people on Facebook expressing their struggle with not being motivated and not wanting to do things because everything is so uncertain. I think the current challenge for most ...
119 ~ Anastasia Allison ~ Entrepreneur, Musician and Adventurer
March 10, 2020 20:35 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBToday’s conversation is with Anastasia Allison. Anastasia is a woman of many talents and interests. Early in her career she worked as a park ranger (a dream job for her) and then as a law enforcement officer for BNSF railway. She had a near death experience in a car accident that turned everything around for her. It was then that she stopped letting her fears get the best of her and it was at that point that she opened up to new possibilities including her work now as an entrepreneur wit...
118 ~ Sarah Tuttle ~ Professor, Instrumental Astrophysicist and Maker of Mischief
March 03, 2020 19:06 - 1 hour - 74.8 MBToday's conversation is with Sarah Tuttle. Sarah teaches introductory astronomy and observational astrophysics at the University of Washington. You’ll hear how and why I was so eager to chat with Sarah at the beginning of our conversation. And then as you hear her talk about not only her work but about her activism, you’ll understand why she is such a great fit for the podcast. In this conversation, we talk about how she got into astronomy, which she describes as a pretty circuitous ro...
117 ~ Kelly Lewis ~ Women's Travel Entrepreneur
February 25, 2020 20:48 - 1 hour - 70.8 MBToday's conversation is with Kelly Lewis. I was really psyched to have the chance to sit down with Kelly. I’ve known her for a long time from the travel world, I even spoke at her conference about seven years ago. But we never had an opportunity to just sit and talk at any length. She just recently moved to Portland and during a trip I made down there, we finally had a long-overdue chat. Kelly is the founder of Women’s Travel Fest. She’s also the author of a guidebook series called Go! G...
116 ~ Lia Ditton ~ Ocean Rower Extraordinaire
February 18, 2020 22:13 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBToday’s guest is ocean rower, Lia Ditton. I chatted with Lia back in episode #80 almost exactly one year ago. I highly recommend going back and listening to that episode if you haven’t already hear it or if you did hear it and want a refresher, it’s going to give you a lot of background on today’s episode. I wanted to circle back around with her because she is about to embark on a pretty incredible journey. She’s planning to be the first person to row across the North Pacific from Choshi, ...
115 ~ Deep Dive with Beth and Chris Fagan
February 13, 2020 15:27 - 58 minutes - 47.1 MBThis week the conversation is a bit different than the usual sit down I have with guests. This week I’ve brought back Chris Fagan so that we could do a deep dive into a topic. Chris, as long-time listeners likely know, is the author of The Expedition which chronicles her adventures when she and her husband walked to the South Pole. Chris and I chatted about that adventure in Episode 88 and, in December, she returned to ask ME questions about my Epic5 runs in Episode 110. Today’s conversati...
114 ~ Susan Conrad ~ Expedition Paddler, Author and Adventurepreneur
February 04, 2020 15:35 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBToday’s conversation is with Susan Conrad. Susan is a kayaker and the author of Inside: One Woman’s Journey Through the Inside Passage. The book, released in 2019, chronicles her 1,200 mile journey that took her north to Alaska along the Inside Passage as she paddled solo in an 18-foot kayak. In our conversation, we talk about the events in her life that came crashing down on her that brought her to the decision to paddle for 66 days alone in her kayak. And how now, 10 years later, she’s...
113 ~ Sharon Wood ~ Pioneering Climber and Author
January 28, 2020 16:42 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBToday’s conversation is with Sharon Wood. Sharon is very unassuming (as Canadians tend to be) yet she has accomplished something pretty incredible. Sharon was not only the first North American woman to summit Mt. Everest but she did it on the West Ridge route. The first thing that’s notable about that, is that this is a route that has never been successfully summitted since. And that was 34 years ago when Sharon was 29. But what is also notable is that she and her group attempted their...

112 ~ Jennifer Cobb Moynihan ~ Communications Coach and Storyteller
January 21, 2020 20:38 - 1 hour - 55 MBToday’s conversation is with Jennifer Cobb Moynihan. Jennifer is a communications coach who works with executives and leaders from a wide range of companies, including Fortune 10 firms.

January 14, 2020 18:08 - 14 minutes - 11.4 MBAs I look ahead to 2020, I give some serious thought about Being Bold, how we can better approach Being Bold on a daily, weekly, monthly basis and also the importance of creating a mission statement to live by every day. ***** Support the podcast through Patreon and get access to special audio and written content, be part of a private Facebook group and enjoy other benefits reserved for supporters of the podcast!

110 ~ Running Epic5 in Hawaii with Beth Whitman and Chris Fagan
December 18, 2019 20:30 - 1 hour - 88.4 MBToday's conversation is a bit unusual and hopefully you'll be as inspired as always. Today I’m the guest and Chris Fagan, whom you might recall from Episode 88 of the She's Bold Podcast, asks ME the questions. This is all about my Epic5 run in Hawaii! As a reminder, Chris and her husband walked 560 miles over 48 days to the South Pole, pulling sleds with all of their gear that weighed about 200 pounds. Yeah, super inspirational. If you’re new to the show, be sure to go back and listen to...
109 ~ Jean Godden ~ Journalist and Former Seattle City Council Member
December 10, 2019 14:14 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBToday’s conversation is with Jean Godden. Jean is a journalist, a former Seattle City Council member and the author of Citizen Jean: Riots, Rogues, Rumors and Other Inside Seattle Stories. She’s been part of my world in one way or another for pretty much my entire time in Seattle, which is going on 30 years now. First as a journalist at the Seattle Post Intelligencer, then the Seattle Times and then as a Seattle City Council member. I’ve been really interested in having her on the podc...
108 ~ Robin Layton - Artist, Photojournalist and Filmmaker
November 19, 2019 19:45 - 1 hour - 53.1 MBToday’s guest is Robin Layton. Robin is a Seattle-area photographer who has a new book out called The Lake. The book is a culmination of her body of work over a 10-year time period photographing Lake Washington. Now, I say that she’s a photographer, but really, she is so much more than that. Robin started her career as a photojournalist, working at a number of newspapers and really learning her craft there. By the time she was 24, she was honored by LIFE Magazine as one of the top eigh...
107 ~ Mina Yoo ~ Inventor, Entrepreneur, Author
October 15, 2019 18:53 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBToday’s guest is Mina Yoo. Mina is the founder of HeroClip. This is a super handy device that combines a caribiner with a hook so you can take your purse, your backpack, your water bottle, pretty much an endless number of things and hang it on a hook, a tree branch, fence post, pretty much an endless number of things in order to keep your hands free. I actually brought two of them with me to Ireland. You’ll hear Mina describe it and how it came about and it’ll make a lot more sense. An...
106 ~ Beth Whitman with Beth Baker on Why We Run, Music and More
October 08, 2019 21:56 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBToday’s conversation is a bit different for several reasons. First, a portion of this episode was initially featured on Beth Baker's podcast, Why We Run. I so enjoyed that conversation that I wanted to include the full-length version here. So in this episode, the tables are turned a bit and Beth Baker is asking ME the questions. But there’s something else that’s a bit different about this episode. It’s recorded while we are running. So you’re going to hear a lot of heavy breathing thro...
105 ~ Danielle Bogardus ~ Philanthropist and Entrepreneur
October 01, 2019 16:04 - 1 hour - 78.8 MBToday’s conversation is with Danielle Bogardus. Danielle is a philanthropist and an entrepreneur.

She’s also a wife, a mother and, more recently, an empty-nester AND a sailor.

103 ~ Beth Baker ~ Running Coach and Podcaster
September 10, 2019 14:19 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBToday’s conversation is with running coach and fellow podcaster (and fellow name-sharer) Beth Baker. If you’ve ever considered running or exercising or even just trying to figure out other ways to incrementally improve your life (and hopefully you ALL have, that’s why you’re listening), you’re going to really love this conversation. You could say Beth is a reluctant Seattleite. And despite us both being here for quite a while, we only recently got connected when I was a guest on her podcas...
102 ~ Kellie Phelan - Founder of The Works Seattle on Crohn's Disease, Starting a Business and Surrogacy
September 03, 2019 18:32 - 1 hour - 68.7 MBToday’s guest is Kellie Phelan. Kellie is the founder of The Works Seattle. The Works offers DIY classes for a variety of things including cooking, canning, sewing, art classes, pumpkin carving, tarot card reading and much, much more. But for Kellie, The Works is much more than just a classroom or a place for learning. It’s a place for connecting. It’s where people come together, and yes, they’re learning a new skill, but they’re also making friends in the process. Obviously this is reso...
101 ~ Nichole Doane ~ Trauma Nurse and Survivor on Her Near Death Experience
August 27, 2019 20:24 - 1 hour - 63.6 MBToday’s guest is Nichole Doane. Nichole is a trauma nurse at Harborview Medical Center here in Seattle. Harborview, as many people in my neck of the woods knows, is THE trauma center for the Pacific Northwest. It’s where you want to be taken in the case of a traumatic injury or burn. But I didn’t want to speak to Nichole because of her work as a trauma nurse. Instead, it was because of an accident she had while canyoneering. This near-fatal fall changed the trajectory of her life. Nich...

Darcey has a new book out called Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life. Fair warning that this is an adult conversation and may not be for everyone. But it’s an important conversation in that menopause has been traditionally a topic that isn’t often talked about openly. For those going through it, there’s a lot of shame around it b...
098 ~ Dina Bennett - Author and Travel Junkie on being an expat and saying yes
July 15, 2019 23:01 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBToday’s guest is Dina Bennett – author, travel junkie and unorthodox, as she says. Dina Bennett landed on my radar years ago when I was sent a copy of her book, Peking to Paris: Life and Love on a Short Drive Around Half the World. This documents her trip as the unlikely navigator in an antique car in a motor rally. That was maybe five or six years ago. Although we did meet briefly at a conference a year or so before her book came out, this was the first time we really got a chance to si...

095 ~ Beth Jusino - Unlikely Thru-Hiker and Author on Walking the Camino De Santiago
June 18, 2019 03:08 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBToday's conversation is with Beth Jusino. As a way to unplug from what she calls 24/7 screentime, Beth Jusino and her husband, Eric, walked 1,000 miles of the Camino over 79 days. Beth was not an athlete, she wasn’t super fit, she wasn’t even a traveler. She just knew she had to find a way to unplug and get away from her devices. And what she found was a world where people actually look each other in the eye, and they connect, and they share stories. She basically did a couch to 1,00...
094 ~ Training for the Epic5 Run
June 05, 2019 13:23 - 29 minutes - 23.5 MBIn this episode, I talk about my training plan for the Epic5 Run - 5 ultra marathons (50K), in 5 days on 5 Hawaiian islands. You'll hear about: * The number of miles I'm running * What shoes I'm wearing * The difference between road and trail running * How my body is handling all the miles ***** Support the podcast through Patreon and get access to special audio and written content, be part of a private Facebook group and enjoy other benefits reserved for supporters of the podcast! ...
093 ~ Helen Thayer - Explorer and Adventurer
May 29, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBToday's conversation is with Helen Thayer. I don’t think you can listen to this conversation and not be affected, changed or inspired on some level. It’s very likely that you’ll make different decisions today and going forward after you listen to today’s episode. I’ve known of Helen for, gosh, at least 20 years but likely much longer than that. She’s been on my radar for such a long time because some of the really amazing things she’s accomplished. And even though she lives in the Se...
092 ~ Vasu Varadhan - Author and Professor of Media Studies at NYU
May 20, 2019 15:48 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBVasu Varadhan is a long-time friend of mine. We figured we’ve known each other for about 35 years. And though we haven’t stayed closely connected over those 35 years, we’ve stayed connected enough so that when I’m in NY or she’s in Seattle, we try to get together and have a laugh and a conversation. Vasu and I met when I was in college and she was visiting for special presentation, it was an event being held at the university that I attended in Pennsylvania. Vasu holds a PhD in Media...
091 ~ Kelly Herron - Runner and Founder, Not Today
May 13, 2019 19:37 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBKelly Herron has basically made lemonade out of lemons. She had a traumatic, life-altering encounter, and made a choice to not let this event get the better of her. When out for a long run on a cold February day in Seattle, Kelly stopped at a public restroom where she was attacked by a registered sex offender who was hiding in a stall. She screamed, “Not Today Mother Fucker,” and this has become her battle cry and her company. She did everything she could to get out of this guy’s grip, m...
