Ep 104. I Set Big Adventure Goals in January. Here's the Brutally Honest Mid-Year Report Card.

It's officially halfway through the year, and Allison is pulling out her 2026 adventure goals list for an honest gut-check.In this episode, she walks through everything from training her puppy Oliver for backpacking trips to her big goal of leading a 5.12 outside—sharing what's on track, what she's let go of, and why this kind of mid-year recommitment matters more than the goal-setting itself. Consider this your nudge to pull up your own list.In this episode, I share:The simple color-coding system I use to honestly review my goals (green, yellow, red, and black)How training Oliver for backpacking and travel has actually gone—the wins and the "we're still working on it" momentsBehind-the-scenes on our sold-out Joshua Tree retreat and what made our Kalymnos international trip so unforgettableWhy I hired a climbing coach and what my training plan toward leading a 5.12 outside actually looks likeWhat I dropped completely from my goals list this year (and why "bless and release" matters)A behind-the-scenes look at how the Adventurous Reinvention Experience cohort is going with 36 women enrolledWhy a mid-year check-in is more valuable than your original goal-setting sessionWhere to learn more about Allison:She Dreams of Alpine Blog (shedreamsofalpine.com)Instagram @shedreamsofalpine🎁 FREE GIFT: Grab the Outdoor Backpacker Starter Kit for FREE here to get started on your journey with backpacking.
