Zion National Park – The Narrows 
Zion National Park – Observation Point
I am working mother of two amazing humans and like any mother I have struggled over the years trying to find balance, healthy boundaries and overall acceptance of myself as a woman. Sound like any of you?? In today’s ever-changing society it can be hard to juggle the responsibilities that not only society seems to place on us but that we as women place on ourselves. Are we raising our kids right? Do I even want to have kids? Should I stay home, or should I advance my career? I should eat this salad but man I want this burger and fries. Do these pants make my butt look amazing? Am I working out enough? If I just do A-Z all in one day everyone will love me…
It creates this cycle of need for external validation, negative self-talk, self-doubt and a number of other things that effect our overall well-being. I don’t know about you but those moments of completely losing it happen and then I am like “great, epic mom fail, get it together”. Through years of my own internal battles, not knowing if it was “just me” and continual unhealthy cycles, I found not just strength but clarity and calmness through hiking and backpacking. We spend so much time trying to do it all we forget that to be the best for those around us we have to put ourselves and our care first.
WHAT?!? Did she just say put myself first? I know, deep breath, soak that in, because YES EnHIKEnment is about putting yourself as the extraordinary, bad ass, look at how beautiful you are for being the one and only you is all about!
It is time to take some YOU time girl! Real, true, all about yourself YOU time. And I believe there is no better true and healing form than feeding your mind, body and soul through experiences with nature. Get ready girl cause you are about to embark on an adventure to conquering a new level of loving yourself.
