Hey, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Beckie.
And for most of my life, I never saw myself as “athletic.”
In fact, when I first started hiking, I was over 200 pounds…
And I honestly didn’t think I belonged out there.
I was self-conscious.
I worried about my pace.
I tried to hide how hard I was breathing.
More than anything, I believed the story in my head that said:
“I can’t do that.”
But something in me kept showing up.
Not because I felt confident.
Not because I felt strong.
Because something inside me wanted more.
So I started.
One step at a time.
One hike at a time.
And somewhere along the way… everything shifted.
Not overnight.
Not perfectly.
But steadily.
I began to trust my body.
I stopped trying to look effortless.
I let myself be seen in the effort.
And the trails that once intimidated me…
became the places that built me.

I see you.
I know what it feels like to believe you're not the "athletic type" and to watch other women hit trails and summits and think, that's just not who I am. To sit on the sidelines of your own life, waiting to feel ready before you try.
I've been there. For almost 50 years, I never once saw myself as someone who did hard physical things. Then I started hiking, and everything I believed about myself got rewritten, one trail at a time. Half Dome. The Grand Canyon. 29029. My body proved something my mind hadn't caught up to yet: I could do hard things. I still can.
You are not too old, too out of shape, or too late to discover this in yourself. The inner athlete isn't about a body type or a finish line, it's the part of you that keeps going when you want to quit, that finds out what you're actually capable of. It's already in you. I'm here to help you uncover it.
You are worthy of feeling strong, capable, and unstoppable in your own life. And I promise, it's possible, at any age, starting today.
I would be honored to hit the trail with you.
Let's do this together.

The term, "I can do hard things" has been used so much that I would say it and not really grasp what it meant...until, I hiked the Grand Canyon rim to rim in June of 2024 with my hiking buddies. It was HARD!
The temperature reached 100* that day and although we were well-trained, hydrated and properly nourished, I bonked. To be honest, I completely broke down, Full on ugly cry, pity party, and questioned why I was doing it all.
With the support of my friends, I picked myself up, put on my backpack and with fully blistered feet, I walked myself out of that canyon. It was then that I truly BELIEVED I CAN do hard things!


Had I continued to tell myself the BS story that I am not athletic, thin enough, or tone enough, I would still be sitting on my couch wishing "I had" instead of feeling grateful that "I did".
Life is better when you participate-FULLY!
Whatever that means for you, and it's different for everyone.
When you embrace your uniqueness, you start to accept that you are enough just as you are.
Dream big. Achieve big. BE YOU!
