About this podcast
What do life and camping both have in common? They can be in-tense! Come along with me, Mickella, as we stir up shift, speak truth to power, and inspire others to join the efforts for sustainable and inclusive societal change whether it be through how we think about and perceive different issues or open the discussion on taboo and “controversial” topics — none are off-limits here. I may say something you agree with, disagree with, or it may be completely new to you. Whatever it may be, join the discussion and give yourself time to reflect on each.
Ponder this, how does each topic impact you and your life? How do you impact each topic? If you’re not quite sure, tune in now.
