Episode 97 – Kayla Kowalski Tragedy with a View

Kayla and I were both on a social media thread revolving around a young girl's safety running at night.  From there, we've shared unsettling childhood encounters with potential kidnappers and how those moments shaped our instincts and caution as adults.  Trust your intuition, balance safety with enjoying the outdoors and the reality of threats that we as women face.  Kayla began podcasting because she loves deep‑diving into stories — something her friends didn't always want to do. Her show started as a collaborative effort with friends but evolved into a solo project. Her fiancé, Sam, supports her with the technical side.   Kayla explains that Tragedy with a View blends her love of the outdoors with her fascination for true stories of natural disasters, accidents, and occasionally true crime. She aims to honor victims by keeping their stories alive while exploring how nature can be both beautiful and dangerous.  Kayla also runs a powerful series called Girl Gone Running, which highlights cases of women murdered while running — a project inspired by her own experiences as a runner and concerns about safety.   Kayla uses Patreon and subscription platforms.  Importantly, 100% of her podcast profits are donated to a charity chosen by her listeners each year. She's reconsidering merch due to environmental concerns and may replace it with additional Patreon tiers.   Kayla's links: Website: tragedywithaview.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TragedywithaView?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AxRPt2xGs/?mibextid=wwXIfr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tragedywithaview?igsh=MTN2ZDF3dWhobHI2Yw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr   You can follow the I Can Do Anything Podcast at: Email me at – [email protected] And then there is always my website - www.icandoanythingpod.com Like and subscribe on Facebook - https://bit.ly/3bG0Efk Follow on X - https://bit.ly/2yqZczb Find me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2xDFIa4 You can listen anywhere you get your podcasts, such as Spotify or Apple podcasts.
