Out There host Willow Belden and I recorded four of my personal essays – The Motherload, Coyote’s Beauty Secrets, Double or Nothing and Trial by Fire – as episodes for Out There. We also collaborated on the award-winning episode Selfless Acts in September 2018. In 2018, I answered listener questions and offered personal advice when I co-hosted the Dear Nature segment (formerly The Nature Fix) with Angus Chen and Willow Belden. If you have a podcast and would like to collaborate, please reach out. I have stories to share, a warm and clear voice, and experience writing, editing and recording for audio.

Just like the CT, I hike the long trail of life step by step and day by day. There are crossroads, challenges, alternative routes and lessons to explore and navigate along the way. There is beauty in both companionship and hiking solo on my journey, and if I keep my eyes open and trust my gut, there are constant signs to guide my path. The post and trail marker also remind me to prioritize adventure, self-care and spending time in nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593da806db29d6d8538430c3/1518674083422-D6JOTTPUILMY6Z6R5SDR/american_pipit_pc_glenn+bartley.jpg Blog - A Little Bird Told Me: the story behind my Colorado Trail tattoo The Bird The bird on Snow Mesa was an American Pipit, a little tail-bobbing bird totally at home in the harsh alpine tundra. The brave little Pipit taught me to accept help, appreciate strength in the ordinary, and lead myself out of harm’s way. It distracted me from my limiting fears and inner critic, and it gave me companionship and confidence when I needed it most. I feel my dad sent the bird to me.

It comes in all shapes, sizes and colors, and it was my happy companion along every segment of the Colorado Trail. My thru-hike inspired big changes in my life, and the paintbrush reminds me there is beauty in change, even when the path is hard and the footing unsure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593da806db29d6d8538430c3/1523929491881-ZYKMB5M6P341HBI8SUDU/123.JPG Blog - A Little Bird Told Me: the story behind my Colorado Trail tattoo The gracious Cheryl Strayed signing my copy of Wild and talking about my tattoo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593da806db29d6d8538430c3/1523929838510-OP7F07WHR15BFJ549EZJ/154.JPG Blog - A Little Bird Told Me: the story behind my Colorado Trail tattoo Cheryl Strayed then signed the arm that I may never wash again. https://beckyjensenwrites.com/blog/2018/1/4/it-is-solved-by-walking monthly 0.5 2018-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593da806db29d6d8538430c3/1515097985073-BQ12HXC0F13FGLW8TSMU/solvitur+ambulando+photo+by+seth+nielson.jpg Blog - It is Solved by Walking Photo and artwork by Seth Nielson https://beckyjensenwrites.com/blog/2017/12/12/the-colorado-trail-a-daily-photo-journal monthly 0.5 2018-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593da806db29d6d8538430c3/1513096897781-4DXEQEGYGD7O6K3SV8V4/CT+Segment+1+Waterton+Canyon_Becky+walking+off.jpg Blog - The Colorado Trail: A Daily Photo Journal Day 1: I took off midday on July 6, 2016, from Waterton Canyon just outside of Denver – happy tears streaming down my cheeks as I left work and responsibility behind.

Aggressive, working guard dogs barked and chased us up the trail, and it scared the crap out of me. So when we hiked past a second herd of sheep in the alpine meadows of Segment 25 (above), I brandished my trekking poles, ready for war. Luckily a sheepherder was camped on the ridge in his canvas-topped wagon, so the dogs and sheep were mellow. Daily mileage: 14.7.
