14. Empowering the ‘Wiser Female Adventurer’ with Linda and Mandi I Founders, She Opts Out
Season 1
March 2, 2021

“I love to just be outside. It fills my bucket, keeps me creative, and recenters me. Life is busy and there’s always going to be challenges in our lives. So it’s really nice to unplug, disconnect, take some deep breaths, listen to the breeze, and find another way to channel ourselves.” – Mandi, She Opts Out

Linda and Mandi are empowering the “Wiser Female Adventurer” by building an inclusive community of women who are connecting with the outdoors to support physical and mental health. She Opts Out is an organization providing a safe space for women to venture outside together. Group hikes, workshops, and partnerships with local nonprofits all focus on recharging in nature while giving back to the community. Let’s Go!
