Feeling the Loss of A Thru-Hike: Lindsey Falkenburg

Lindsey Falkenburg is feeling the loss of a 2020 thru-hike... and remembering what she's made of. Like a lot of 2020 thru-hikers, Lindsey canceled her plan to hike the Continental Divide Trail in June. In its absence, she's allowing herself to feel the loss - and also filling her cup with urban hiking, art, and re-discovering her resilience.Featured in this episode: Lindsey Falkenburg & outdoor memory voice memo by Sarina ClarkHosted & Produced by Gale StraubA production of Ravel MediaSponsored by Salomon, Deuter, and Travel South Dakota.Join the She Explores Podcast community on FacebookIn this episode, you'll hear:What thru-hiking has added to LIndsey's lifeA bit about Lindsey's previous hikes of the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest TrailWhy she's intentional about building a career and balanced life between thru-hikesThe decision that went into canceling her 2020 southbound thru-hike of the CDTWhy Lindsey feels a sense of community with fellow thru-hikersWhy Lindsey thinks it's important for outdoor-lovers to grieve the loss of what they were hoping for this seasonAdvice for thru-hikers who had to cancel their hikesAdvice for all  people who are experiencing the outdoors differently todayVisit She-Explores.com & Follow Us on InstagramResourcesLindsey Falkenburg: Website & InstagramSarina Clark: Website & InstagramShe Explores Landing PageRavel MediaSponsors and Discount CodesSalomon: Learn more at Salomon.comDeuter: Learn more at Deuter.comFeatured in midroll: Nicole Brown, founder of @womenwhohikeTravel South Dakota: Download the vacation guide for your future trips at TravelSouthDakota.comEpisodes air weekly on Wednesdays-- subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.
