Customer Reviews
Devoted listener!
I look forward to the weekly stories from women on the road and appreciate the diversity of women interviewed. Laura is an incredible host and asks deep, thoughtful questions to each person she interviews. The episode topics always vary and are always engaging - from financing road travel, to working from the road, and navigating romance. Hearing other women's courageous stories of going for what they want and living alternatively is inspiring!
Empowering women in the outdoors
I feel so empowered listening to this podcast. My dad didn't raise me in the outdoors. My love for nature is something that has come slowly later in life as I travel with my husband. I sometimes struggle with feeling like I'm not being authentic when I get out and explore so it's reassuring to hear stories from other women who haven't had the most direct path! A great reminder that we're all on different journeys. Love this addition to the She Explores lineup.
Rad and inspiring
Finally I found tales from real women on the road. It's equally helpful and inspiring. I'm immediately transported somewhere new every time I listen
