Naturale Disasters with Hurricane Hilary and Tornado Tarin

Tarin O'Donnell — Fri, 30 Aug 2024 13:40:47 -0400

Hey there! Welcome to…we don’t really know yet, but it will be fun! Join us for our new podcast ride as two clumsy besties shoot the shit, aim for a few laughs, and try to not destroy everything in our paths. Tune in weekly

Who’s to say that you’re supposed to do one thing for forever?

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 07:30:00 -0400

Today we have a great conversation with fellow outdoor enthusiast, Allison Deschaine. Tarin and Allison discuss their very similar paths with exploring “non-traditional” job options after college. In fact, both were in Alaska the same year working in the same industry as one of their first gigs in the outdoor industry!

We talk about taking these “alternative” paths and how even in your mid-thirties (or any age!), it’s ok to change it up and try something new. Especially if something isn’t working for you, even if it was/is the business you built. The outdoor industry is talked about a lot, specifically repping and buying as Allison has experience through both those realms. Through this conversation we hope to relate to anyone feeling like they aren’t on the traditional path and are unsure about what their “forever” career is, or if that even exists. We also hope to encourage supporting small businesses and women in the industry!

What Happens When Only Parts Of Your Identity Change?

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 07:30:00 -0400

This week gets deeeep with our guest, Sam Ryan. We met Sam at the Sturdy Dirty and hit it off instantly. Our conversation covers so many topics from raising kiddos to experiencing the best bike party in the desert, Roam Fest.

Sam gets incredibly vulnerable sharing her story of realizing her late-in-life lesbian identity. Her realization of this and the changes she made take incredible courage. We hope that this convo can relate to anyone out there who is at a point in life of feeling a major change happening, or one that needs to happen. This can range from change in relationships – friends, family, romantic – to career changes. It’s not all about the courage in coming out, it’s about the courage to change a piece of your identity. Many of us often identify too much with external things that are not actual a piece of us. They don’t change or make who we are at our core. It’s ok to change your path in life. It’s not always easy, but it is ok.

Tiny Steps, Big Dreams: The Story Of Kula Cloth

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 07:30:00 -0400

Today’s episode talks about the tiny steps it takes to make a leap of faith. It’s not always a blind jump off of a cliff and it’s perfectly fine to take time to find your footing and change direction. Anastasia Allison, founder of Kula Cloth, shares how when she was younger and looking for validation from the outside, she did what she thought she “should”. Limiting beliefs kept her dreams dormant until looking the biggest fear, or what should have been, straight in the eyes.

This moment impacted her for a long time and eventually helped her take small steps to discover what she truly wanted to do in life. Her vision became clearer and she started to see things differently and have new doors open. Kula Cloth was born out of passion, a true need, and love for the outdoors.

If it Doesn’t Exist, Make it Yourself with Maria Boustead

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 07:30:00 -0400

We are joined by Maria Boustead of Po Campo today to talk about how a want & need sparked her motivation to start her own business. Bike bags have been around a long time, but Maria wasn’t quite finding what she needed to fit her lifestyle. She had the bike, but she needed the perfect bag. As a cyclist and a professional industrial designer, she had a lot to carry—from commuting and working to meeting up with friends. She needed a versatile bag that could keep up with her busy day and still look great.

Po Campo merges Maria’s expertise in product design with her passion for cycling. Unable to find a bag that seamlessly transitioned from bike to everyday use, she decided to create one herself. Say goodbye to sweaty straps, distractions, and dull colors with Po Campo.

We had an amazing conversation with Taylor-Anne Smith, founder of Ride Force, about inclusivity, discovering mountain biking, and finding your people.

Ride Force was born out of wanting EVERY. BODY. to feel badass on a bike while focusing on the trail and not the fit of your gear. Taylor-Anne is doing phenomenal at this and supporting many different organizations to help mountain biking be more accessible to all.

What is a Wildpreneur and How Anyone Can Become One

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 07:30:00 -0400

Tamara Jacobi, owner of the Tailwind Jungle Lodge and author of the book Wildpreneurs, shares her journey of starting a jungle eco-lodge in Mexico and becoming (a term she coined) a Wildpreneur. Raised by very adventurous parents who considered backpacking or bike-packing for a month (or 2) a typical family adventure led her to write up the business plan for a jungle lodge in college and create that business when she was just 21.

For nearly 20 years, Tamara has been learning lessons as she goes, creating a road of her own. This is ultimately what inspired her to write her book to offer insights and advice for those looking to start their own off-the-beaten-track business. She is also the guide community leader and head of accommodation partnerships at Thermal – a company offering private surf adventures.

Tamara reminds us to enjoy the journey (not just the destination) which has been a lifelong lesson across all aspects of her life personally, professionally, as a mom and a partner.

94. How Mountaineering & the Outdoors Became a Source of Healing

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 09 May 2024 07:30:00 -0400

I met Natalie back in 2018 at a gym in Truckee, CA where we were both working. This girl was the epitome of what my idea of a personal trainer was. I was awestruck. Then I met her, and was even more in love with this human! Her energy is contagious and she is the kindest most compassionate human. It didn’t take long before I learned about the loss of her brother on his first tour in the Army and uncovered layers of Natalie and how this was the catalyst for the way she lives her life today and the pursuits she takes on, like climbing Denali at the end of May.

Natalie found mountaineering in 2020 and found it to be incredibly healing for her. After a bit of a hiatus, she got back to it and set her sights on climbing Denali. The fact that it requires you to be entirely self-sufficient and in addition to carrying a heavy pack, you are also responsible for hauling a sled up the mountain, was appealing to her.

“This climb represents so much more than a summiting a mountain. It exemplifies the hardships faced when losing a loved one, the hurdles one must overcome in order to enter a space of healing and the community it requires in order to tackle such a feat.” – Natalie

Natalie is doing this climb to create awareness around Gold Star Families and Gold Star Sisters especially. She aims to raise 10k to sponsor a weekend retreat in the beautiful Bavarian village of Leavenworth, WA. The event will be an all-expense paid weekend for 6 sisters: 3 Gold Star sisters, 2 active duty sisters & one veteran sister. Please donate here to help Natalie reach her goal! She only has 2k to go!

Follow Natalie on IG: @diaryofanoverweightsuitcase and stay tuned for a live tracking link once she takes off on the climb in late May! Stay updated on her climb here: https://www.alpineascents.com/climbs/denali/cybercasts/

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 07:30:00 -0400

We wrap up Women’s History Month with this amazing conversation with Andrea Kelly! Andrea is the CEO, Founder, and Advisor for Make Plus Equal, a size-inclusion consultancy in the Apparel Industry. As a plus-sized person herself, Andrea pairs consumer insights of lived experiences – hers, and others in the plus-sized community – with over 20 years of experience building apparel in the outdoor industry. With the goal that every body deserves equal access and equal choice to the apparel they need, regardless of size, Andrea guides brands and retailers as they work to become more inclusive in the products they sell, along with how they engage with and cater to a traditionally marginalized and overlooked community.

In this episode, we talk about personal experiences in finding outdoor gear and apparel that fit and function how they should. As well as how Andrea found herself starting her business and only more recently made it her full-time job. Proving that no matter what age you are, if you have a passion, a goal, a dream, and some fire behind it all, anything is possible.

Andrea was also voted by Outside Business Journal as one of 2022’s Twenty Most Influential People in the Outdoor Industry!

Spring is right around the corner, meaning so is mountain bike season! We are excited to chat with Cassie Abel of Wild Rye this week. Cassie has dedicated the last decade of her career to elevating women from the backcountry to the boardroom. After years of feeling like an afterthought in the outdoor space, Cassie founded Wild Rye in 2016 to bring women better apparel options for cycling, snowsports, and general outdoor recreation.

Wild Rye crafts women’s-first outdoor apparel that’s beautiful and technical, designed to inspire confidence and welcome more women into the outdoors. In addition, Cassie is the brains behind Women Led Wednesday, a Tory Burch Foundation fellow, a Forbes Next 1,000 honoree, The Outdoor Retailer Emerging Leader of 2023, a 3x All-American Lacrosse player, and a mom to 4-year-old Sawyer.

This episode will get you amped for biking and light that fire to take a chance on something you maybe didn’t know was your calling after all.

P.S. Their spring collection just launched! Check it out at https://wild-rye.com/ and follow them on IG at https://www.instagram.com/wild_rye_/

85. Full Circle with Carina Hamel of Bivo

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 07:28:00 -0500

Happy Women’s History Month! For our first episode of this month, we have Carina Hamel, co-founder of Bivo. In this episode, Carina shares her journey from working in product development to developing her very own product. After realizing most performance hydration options were all made of plastic, and a very bad drinking experience from an old cross-country ski belt, Carina and her husband set out to change things.

In creating Bivo, they sought to design a stainless steel performance water bottle with a flow rate that could keep up with that of the plastic bottles on the market. That goal wasn’t only reached but surpassed. With Bivo there is no chugging, no air, no mold, just a clean path of water delivered with ease.

Carina and Tarin talk about where it all started. From when Carina was cross-country skiing as a little girl to how her children now ski in the same program her family started when she was young and her journey through the work world to starting her own business. Listen in and check out their amazing products that are far more than a simple cycling bottle!

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 07:30:00 -0500

Another ‘dreams come true moment’ for the Tarin It Up Podcast with this conversation with Dovetail Workwear co-founder, Kate Day! Tarin had the absolute pleasure of meeting Kate last summer on a trip up to Washington. Tarin is a sales representative and ambassador for the brand, however, not every sales rep or ambassador gets the chance for in-person meetings, so this was an amazing opportunity – as was this chance to have Kate on the podcast!

We chat about how the brand was born and where it is heading with continuing to be pioneers not only in the women’s workwear niche but in women’s apparel in general. They are continuously working to provide women with the workwear they need by reading each and every review they receive and taking the feedback constructively.

One of my favorite things about having this podcast is getting to talk to my friends and share the things they are wildly passionate about and the amazing things they are doing. I met Alix in 2018 on a women’s mountain bike group ride. I couldn’t wait to try her amazing products sourced from right here in the Sierra Nevada from her company, Tahoe Petrichor.

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 07:30:00 -0500

Heather Kelly, founder of Heather’s Choice – lightweight, packable meals and snacks, joined Tarin for an inspiring conversation about her entrepreneurial journey.

This is far beyond a backpacking meal company. With Heather’s background as a NCAA National Champion and CRCA/Pocock All-American in women’s rowing, a background in CrossFit, and as a raft guide, Heather knows how important fueling properly is.

Many of us have been in a situation that when you gotta go, you gotta go! Or when you gotta go, there is no where to drop trow without bearing all. This is where Gnara comes in! Gnara co-founder, Georgia Grace, got the idea for the GoFly – Gnara’s internationally patented zipper technology – while working as a glacier guide in Alaska. Frustrated by having to choose between tactical dehydration or the freezing hassle that was using the bathroom outside, she and eventually, a small team, set out to make the outdoors more accessible through innovative and inclusive design.

Gnara’s GoFly Tech has won the 2022 and 2023 Outdoor Retailer Awards, as well as Top Product Awards and recognition by Women’s Health, CNN, USA Today, GearJunkie, the U.S. Senate, Forbes, Blister, Outside Business Journal, and more.

76. The Power of Two Stroke and Magic of All Women’s Courses

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 07:46:00 -0500

Men aren’t the only ones who can appreciate a 2 stroke motor. That was apparent last January as Sierra Avalanche Center put on its first women’s level 1 motorized avalanche course. Taught by two extremely knowledgeable and badass women, Tasha Thomas and Margaret Wheeler. I was on a high after this course for weeks, not only did it refresh my avalanche education, it improved my riding soo much! I left that course with more insight and confidence in my riding ability than I ever could have expected. In this episode, we hear how these women got to where they are and the absolute power and magic that happens in women’s specific courses and gatherings.

Check out the upcoming courses these ladies will be teaching below!

Women’s Motorized Intro class – January 21st

The Changing Seasons and Ever Evolving Cycles of Life

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 11:26:49 -0500

Cycle syncing is becoming a hot topic and with anything that becomes a “trending” subject, it can come off as dogmatic on social media. People want to pick a side, run with it, and claim it’s this way or no way. This week, Tarin dives into period talk with Angie Marie and they discuss our inner seasons and a way of living seasonally (so to speak).

They also discuss the importance of doing what is right for YOU. Learn and educate yourself then use methods that fit into your life. Also, don’t feel like there is a wrong or right way to cycle sync! We all know we are evolving humans and day to day things can look and feel different.

Standing Your Ground and Speaking Your Mind with Professional Snowboarder, Erika Vikander

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 04 May 2023 08:42:00 -0400

This week, we got to hear from professional snowboarder, Erika Vikander. We spoke about equality in the sport and so much more!

Growing up in the shadow of the Bridger Mountains amongst the bigger Rocky Mountains in Montana, the seed of big mountain snowboarding was planted early. Erika spent her formative years in Bozeman honing her skills before pursuing a Slopestyle career in Park City and Breckenridge. Just before the 2014 Olympics where Slopestyle was first introduced she tore her ACL and had to reconsider her path in snowboarding. This led her to performing as one of the top competitors on the Freeride World Tour for 6 seasons representing the USA and moving into the backcountry to push her boundaries while staying true to herself and what she believes in.

Tarin O'Donnell — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 11:47:54 -0400

Burnout has been a bit of a buzzword but did you know it is actually recognized by the World Health Organization? In 2019, the World Health Organization included burnout in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases as an occupational phenomenon. Our guest Julia Arndt comes on to discuss her personal experience with burnout and how it led her to starting her business and becoming a Peak Performance Coach.

Julia originally hails from Germany, has lived in 5 countries over the past 15 years, and speaks three languages fluently. After working at Google in Silicon Valley for seven and a half years while the company grew from 30.000 to 100.000 employees, Julia has been running her own consulting and coaching business since 2019, helping over 8000 employees at innovative companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft and other Fortune 500 companies understand the effects of stress on body and mind, move beyond burnout and build a mindful lifestyle that delivers focus, high energy, and productivity. She approaches professional development from a different lens – combining mindfulness, productivity, and leadership tools to encourage and support you to live a more meaningful, connected, and happy life.

Julia’s podcast, STRESSD, has over 100.000 podcast downloads globally to date. Find out more about her and her services here: https://www.peakperformancemethod.com/.

The holidays have taken us by storm and we are exhausted, so pardon us for not coming out swinging with resolutions, finite goals, or divine epiphanies. But, we know there are plenty of you who feel the same. And guess what, that’s ok, CAUSE WE ARE JUST HUMAN BEINGS! If you are into the “new year, new me” good for you! Seriously, we hope you reach all of your goals. But we are also here for those of you who are just trying to get by.

Ahhh, balance…and the seemingly never-ending search for it. We all seem to be looking for it and craving it, but what is it really? Will we ever really find it? Personally, I think balance is different for every person and it’s not always equal parts. In this episode, we talk with Charlotte, founder of The Ski Retreat. She talks about her two (seemingly conflicting) dreams of being a boss lady and a ski bum. Listen in to find out how she started this passion project while working full-time and where she sees the future of it.

The Big Screen & Big Picture

Tarin O'Donnell — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 22:59:01 -0500

Tarin is going to be on the big screen as an extra in a movie directed by her IG idol, Katie Burrell! And we talk about some big-picture ideas we have for this little podcast. As well as a few other tangents, we can’t help it WE LOVE TO TALK which is why we have this podcast. But for real, we had a lot of fun recording this episode and definitely think it’s worth a listen!

Here are the results of the study Tarin mentioned about trash collection in National Parks. Read the full press release from 5Gyres about this project.

Showing Up Is All We Can Do

Tarin O'Donnell — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 12:07:47 -0400

Here we are again, catching up! I (Tarin) attended the Outdoor Media Summit this past weekend and learned so much and also got to connect with amazing folks. We talk about that and how winter is starting to show up! ❄️

We also talk a little about Dovetail Workwear and Wild-Rye (hint: not only do these links get you a little discount, but they also help support this podcast!)

Recording In Progress

Tarin O'Donnell — Sat, 01 Oct 2022 01:28:36 -0400

We can’t get over the zoom lady that says this, we thought maybe we should rename the podcast that. We settled for an episode title. Playing catch-up after a month and talking a little about regenerative agriculture and frustrations of inflations. Both of us were outside on our headphones so there is a bit of a lower quality sound, sorry! Now we know that isn’t the best tactic, (or I just need better headphones cause Amber sounds good!) nor is your dog running to play with the neighbors before you sign off

Are We Doing This Podcast Thing Right?

Tarin O'Donnell — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 21:23:01 -0400

Who fucking knows, but we don’t care too much right now whether it’s right or wrong. Because there simply is no right or wrong for us with this project! But we sure as heck are manifesting good vibes and for the six figures to start rolling in

We’re Just People Trying to Figure Out How to be People

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 16:33:10 -0400

The title is a mouthful. And we’ve got a mouthful to say! We talk a lot about emotions in this episode. Most specifically anger, frustration, & guilt and how we handle them. Or…don’t…

We ask the question, what tools do you have in your back pocket to handle these emotions at the peak of their existence? I reflected on this topic after feeling these emotions a lot myself the past few weeks and attending an event with Outdoor Women’s Wellness. If you are interested in learning more about this group and the 4 Pillars of Health mentioned in this podcast, check them out!

No Shame in Our Game

Tarin O'Donnell — Wed, 25 May 2022 16:35:22 -0400

We open where left off in our last episode by talking about the possible overturn of Roe vs. Wade. We had an amazing response from a friend of Amber’s who left us with tons of resources that we can’t thank enough for. We left all these links below for you. Amber also shares her personal journey with abortion and we discuss all sorts of things regarding mental capacities and the insanity and injustices happening in our country. With this one, we hope we can empower you to stand up for what you believe in and also to know you are not alone in going through the muck, even though it may feel like it at times.

Getting Ready to Light. It. Up.

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 12 May 2022 13:53:53 -0400

We tried to keep this one to only an hour! And guess what, we succeeded! We start out in our usual routine of catching up and talking about what’s currently going on with our lives, then we move on to current events…somewhat. We wanted to bring up the topic of what’s happening in women’s rights currently but wanted to get some feedback from YOU and be able to dedicate an episode to this topic. So, listen in and if you have stories to share, questions to ask, or comments to make about it, PLEASE let us know so we can talk about it on our next episode. Email, comment, DM us, anything! Enjoy

Double Digits in the Flesh!

Tarin O'Donnell — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 20:49:00 -0400

We did something we haven’t done since episode 1, we were live, in person, together! And we didn’t even realize it was episode 10. That’s not a huge milestone, but every rep counts. Per usual, we talk about a looot. It’s about what’s real and what’s going on in our lives and we hope some of you can relate to us. I spent almost 3 amazing weeks at home visiting family and my closest friends.

Feeling Failure

Tarin O'Donnell — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 20:18:33 -0500

This episode was inspired by a recent day I had of feeling allll the emotions of not meeting your personal expectations. Which resulted in the feeling of failure, and all the frustrations that come along with that when you feel like you are trying your damndest and it just isn’t the end result you want. We had a great conversation around this and letting go of holding too tightly to those expectations, because they aren’t always realistic.

Say the Thing!

Tarin O'Donnell — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 16:42:42 -0500

We are back for another episode, halfway through February but that’s ok! We chat about just giving the compliments and saying the things you want to say…the positive things. In today’s society, we think women especially struggle with receiving compliments which can make it hard to want to give them at times. But make someone’s day and tell them what you are thinking! Your hair is gorgeous, I love your top, YOU are gorgeous! Let’s normalize this and get rid of the mean girl mentality.
