Tough Girl - Daily Podcast - SEASON 2

After working in finance for 8 years, I quit my city job and spent 18 months travelling the world, climbing Kilimanjaro, backpacking around South America and doing a ski season. I used this time to help me decide on what I wanted to do with my life. ​ I set up Tough Girl Challenges as a way of motivating and inspiring women and girls. I'm the host the Tough Girl Podcast where I interview inspirational female explorers, adventurers, athletes and everyday women who have overcome great challenges. I completed the Marathon des Sables in April 2016 and in 2017 I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail (2,190 miles) in 100 days! In 2018 I will be cycling the Pacific Coast Highway and the Baja Divide! This is my daily update of what I get up to! I want to share the journey, the high points the low points and what it takes to build a business while having fun and going on adventures! ******************************************* SEASON 2 I’ve been wanting to go back to the Tough Girl Daily Podcast for a while. But I’ve just had so much on, I needed to let it go while I focused on my Masters getting back to full strength after the Appalachian Trail and working on building up Tough Girl Challenges into a viable business which can support me. At the moment I do work part time jobs to enable to me to do what I do and I do live with my parents (who are beyond amazing and supportive) but I do need to make this work, I need to be able to earn a living. I feel there is an illusion about how easy it is to build a business, build a brand and being able to earn a living from it. It’s not - it’s hard work and I hope through this daily podcast you will be able to see what is going on behind the scenes. I will share the good bits and the bad bits, the high points, the low points.

Hi!

 

As I have mentioned in my Facebook message, I am currently writing a short film for a class in university (Concordia) about two women aged 22 and 25. Briefly, the story happens when the girls stop at the Greenleaf Hut. My teacher asked us to do some research about our subject. Thus, I have some questions to ask you to make sure my story is realistic! 

 

 

  1. How many months do it takes to get to the White Mountains (considering you start from the very beginning in Georgia)?
  2. Was there a point in your hike where you could not imagine yourself go back to ''reality''? Were you ever sacred to go back to the life you had before doing the AT?
  3. Do you have any funny anecdotes or bad luck that happened on trail?
  4. How were your relation with other hikers? Did you make good friends there?
  5. What would be a typical discussion between thru-hikers in a hut be like (do you talk about your hike anecdotes or you talk about who you are)? 
  6. Do you have any examples of trail names?  
  7. How did your body changed due to the long distance hike? 
  8. What was your biggest motivation for doing the AT?
  9. Do the huts in the Whites have that principle that you can stay for the night if you help with chores? ( Dixie from Homemade Wanderlust talked about that in a vlog I think)
 
Feel free to skip questions if you don't have any answers or just don't want to talk about certain things! :) 
 
Thank you so much for your time!!
 
Sophie
