First and foremost this episode is
dropping on my birthday. 2 years ago I felt like I got robbed
of a 40th birthday when the world literally shut down on my
birthday. I decided I wanted to do something to celebrate in
a very different way. On February 1st, I kicked off the 42
days hoping that on my birthday I would have something to
celebrate. The thing I wanted to celebrate was 42 days to 42
hours outside (as part of my 1000 hours outside challenge). I
am happy to report that thanks in large part to my igloo building
project I have spent over 60 hours outside for the past 42 days and
am 4 hours away from my 100 hour mark for 2022. This birthday
is less about indulging in something to escape and more for me to
celebrate something I am getting better at and that is better for
me. There is significant research that shows countless
benefits of spending time outdoors. Today’s episode is yet
another example.
In 2016 Amy left behind life as she knew it and moved with her husband and two sons to Alaska, looking for a fresh start and more time in the great outdoors. While Amy had a background as a reporter, editor, runner, and Army wife she was not an expert in designing a life in all things outdoorsy. She created the Humans Outside podcast to help people like her get outside and love it. But just talking about getting outside wasn’t enough. Since September 2017 she has spent at least 20 consecutive minutes outside every single day. She also hosts the Humans Outside Podcast where she talks with outdoor-minded guests; When she’s not busy getting outside or hosting the Human’s Outside podcast she is Executive Editor of Military.com.
