If you’ve ever looked at mountain biking and thought, that looks incredible, but also terrifying, this episode is for you.

This week on Women in Wild Places, I talk with Emily Jordan, mountain biker, mom, brand leader, and Beacon, NY local, about what it means to find flow, community, and courage on the trail and in motherhood.

Emily grew up in Portland, Oregon, hating the outdoors. A stolen commuter bike led her to her first mountain bike and eventually to hauling a 40-pound setup over the Tour de Mont Blanc. We talk about learning to ride through fear, finding “hype girls” who cheer each other on, and redefining adventure after becoming a parent.

It’s a conversation about joy, risk, guilt, and doing the things that make you feel alive, even (and especially) after baby.
