Back in 2016, I had my first daughter and found myself in the most challenging crossroads to date. I had spent my pre-motherhood years fearlessly hiking, traveling, and exploring the most awe-inspiring places.
Then, once my daughter joined the party, I faced the stark reality that I needed to be her greatest protector if we were going to continue my love for the rugged, wild, great outdoors.
Gone were the days of just assuming that everything would simply just be ok.
I realized that I had a responsibility to my child to be her best protector and first responder.
I also had an extremely important task of always making sure that *I* returned home safely to her, too.
And so began one of my most wild adventures to date: transforming myself into the best Mother Grizzly possible.
I learned situational awareness so I could make the best decisions for us,
and wilderness first aid so I could be an adequate First Responder for all of us on the trail.
I learned how to protect us against wild animals and dangerous humans, too.
I learned how to plan, prepare, protect, and more.
I trained consistently with several of the best instructors in SoCal - multiple times per week - so I could radiate confidence every single day.
I took Wilderness First Aid courses, Self-Defense Instructor Certification courses, backcountry preparedness seminars, weekly firearms concealed carry classes, and currently I'm in the process of taking firearms instructor certification courses.
I have immersed myself in the world of wilderness safety and self-reliance... and I LOVED every minute of it.
Most importantly, I learned how to have the maximum amount of fun with my kids while multitasking the Protector role.
Because the goal here is simple:
to live wild and totally free,
to truly enjoy life,
and live each day to the fullest.
And of course, to feel confident and safe while doing so.
