The podcast focuses on women in the great outdoors, and tells the stories of entrepreneurs, athletes, and \u201cordinary\u201d women who are \u201ccurious, inquisitive and beyond.\u201d It\u2019s well-edited and inspires people to spend more time outside, which I am a huge advocate of. Gale left behind the life of a CPA for a long stint on the road in a van with her boyfriend before starting the show. It was a big risk, which she talks about. She also shares about what it&#8217;s like living with\u00a0your significant other in a confined space, and why she loves connecting with women in the outdoors.<\/p>\n<h2>Listen to this Episode if:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You love the outdoors, or are feeling the call to adventure.<\/li>\n<li>You are a She-Explores listener and want to get to know the voice behind the podcast.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ve thought about quitting your job to pursue your passion and want to know how to do it.<\/li>\n<li>You want to explore in a van or take a long road trip with your partner.<\/li>\n<li>You want to start a podcast or just hit the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>4:10 &#8211;
