139 ~ Stasia Honnold ~ Human Powered Adventurer
She's Bold with Beth Whitman
Today’s guest is Stasia Honnold. Stasia is an adventurer. But not just any kind of adventurer – she’s a human-powered adventurer. So what does that mean? In short, she bikes, she hikes and she runs. And rarely does she use a car do to any of those. She’s a woman who makes up her own adventures and figures out how to execute on them with lots of planning and organizing. As Stasia says, she lives by a set of values and makes her life choices based on these values – doing no harm – and in doing so, she’s living simply as well as on her own terms. It was my intention to highlight...

138 ~ Liz Grantham ~ CEO, Entrepreneur and Founder of TheOptimal.Me
She's Bold with Beth Whitman
Today’s guest is Liz Grantham. Liz is the founder of The Optimal Me, a fitness app created specifically for those over 50 and it focuses on getting people functionally fit with exercises that take just 15 minutes a day. Liz and I dive deep into the importance of movement as we age. And not just moving (like me, with running) but by doing exercises that help with every day movement--like lifting your luggage into the overhead bin of a flight. As Liz points out, 2.8 million people die each year from obesity. 2.8 million! But no one is talking about that (likely because it’s not contagious)....

Enjoy these uplifting and positive conversations? Support the podcast through and get access to special audio and written content, be part of a private Facebook group (ladies only) and enjoy other benefits only for supporters of the podcast! ***** Today's conversation is with Jennifer Louden. I had really wanted to chat with Jen in-person. And we had hoped to do so when she was scheduled to be in Seattle on a book tour in June. But that all went sideways when travel (and pretty much everything else) was grounded. So we decided to chat remotely instead. And I’m so glad we did. You might know...
info_outlineToday's conversation is with Kelly Lewis.
I was really psyched to have the chance to sit down with Kelly. I’ve known her for a long time from the travel world, I even spoke at her conference about seven years ago. But we never had an opportunity to just sit and talk at any length. She just recently moved to Portland and during a trip I made down there, we finally had a long-overdue chat.
Kelly is the founder of Women’s Travel Fest. She’s also the author of a guidebook series called Go! Girl Guides and she runs Damesly, a women’s tour company.
So as you can imagine, we have a lot of things in common.
In this episode we talk about her growing up in Hawaii with little chance to travel off-island, her move to the mainland for college and then getting hooked on travel after she graduated, her years in NYC where she was determined to take it by storm (which she did) as she built her business and her most recent move to Portland (Oregon, that is).
We also talk about how she came about building her businesses and why her move to Portland has been so great for her.
We recorded this a few weeks ago and she does mention Women’s Travel Fest. I just want to clarify that , WTF is coming up on March 6 – 8 in New York City. So if you’re in New York or can get yourself there, there are still some tickets available for that wonderful event. I’ll link to it in the show notes but you can also just search online for Women’s Travel Fest.
OK – with that, please enjoy this conversation with Kelly Lewis.
