From COO to the Trail: Building Community for Women in Midlife with Nechumah GetzNechumah Getz spent over 25 years leading complex organizations in the corporate and nonprofit sectors, most recently as Chief Operating Officer at Greenpeace and American Forests. Then life threw her a curveball — laid off twice in two years, both times due to leadership changes outside her control.Instead of chasing the next executive role, she made a different call. She stepped off the traditional path and built something grounded in what had always worked for her: being outside, moving her body, and being in community with other women. That became Better Outside Together, an outdoor community for women in midlife in the DC area.In This Episode We Talk About:What community actually means for women navigating midlife — and why it matters more than most people realizeThe unexpected pivot from COO to founder, and what pushed Nechumah to build something from scratchHow getting comfortable on local trails can open the door to bigger outdoor adventures and travelHiking destinations that deliver every time for women in midlifeWhere to start if you want to combine travel and the outdoors but have no idea howWhat getting outside actually does for women in this season of life — beyond the wellness buzzwordsConnect with Nechumah:Website: betteroutsidetogether.comInstagram: @betteroutsidetogetherLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/nechumah-getzFacebook: facebook.com/nechumah.getzAbout Your Host SandySandy has traveled to 39 countries, speaks three languages, and has made it her mission to help women 50+ experience the world without the overwhelm.

A grounded, reflective episode on how intentional travel can quietly change who you are and why the space before 2026 begins is the best time to protect time for it. The conversation focuses less on bucket lists and more on using even one well planned trip as a reset for your nervous system, perspective, and identity.Travel breaks everyday autopilot and forces presence, which naturally creates growth.Transformation often comes from small moments: eating alone, asking for help, choosing rest over "one more email."Now, before the year fills, is the moment to block time for a 2026 trip that supports rest, courage, connection, clarity, or creativity.Grounded planning (realistic dates, budget, and expectations) turns "someday" travel into something your life can actually hold.Choose one word for your 2026 trip (rest, courage, connection, clarity, creativity).Pick one realistic window in 2026 and take one small step this week: check dates, peek at flights, start a savings pot, or send a "let's plan this" text."Join My Weekly “Trips & Sips” MeetupIf you love travel talk, inspiration, and community, come hang out with me twice a week at our Trips & Sips sessions.It’s a relaxed space to connect, ask questions, learn something new, and share your travel dreams with people who get it.Register here: https://www.meetup.com/trips-and-sips-travel/This is YOUR invitation to an immersive trip to China in September 2026 with expert guide Julie Marx who lived in China for 20 years and will guide us on this immersive, one of a kind trip.
