The Pacific Crest Trail or better known as the PCT is a 2,650 mile long trail that ranges from the sun-baked deserts in California to the high alpines of the Sierra Nevada. The trail starts at the US-Mexico border and ends at the US-Canada border. It's a trail that will test the endurance of both body and soul of those who chose to set foot on the trail for either a through hike or section hiking. Mandie joins us on this episode to discuss her attempt at a section hike which tested her limits and taught her lessons for a future adventure.

The loss of a parent can be an extremely devastating ordeal. Having lost my father to cancer a little over a year ago I have found the emotional roller coaster can be a difficult one to deal with. Our guest Gabbie recently lost her father to cancer as well so we decided to sit down and talk about our stories together for you all to hear. If you're going through a loss of a loved one know you're not alone in the emotional battle. Your feelings are valid and the amount of emotion both positive and negative can be quite overwhelming at times. Keep fighting your way through the struggle and keep the good memories alive of those you loved.

On this episode I am joined by my friend Jen who has seen life through multiple lenses. Jen converted to the L.D.S. faith in her early 20's and later left the church for personal reasons, which she talks to us about. She also considered herself a conservative in the political realm but has since shifted to a more liberal perspective. It was a pleasure to sit down and have a conversation about the current state of the political world and why she views the world the way she does.
