Welcome to Awe Nice, where we highlight moments of wonder while working outdoors. We’re on the radio and we’re also on podcast platforms. And you can check us out here.

This week I visited with Allana Salmon from Ohio. Allana teaches horsemanship and rock climbing, but it was on a trek with friends toward a climb called Listerine Girl, in the Red River Gorge, when she experienced what she wanted to share here.

Allana told me that before three years ago, she was her own worst enemy. No one disliked her more than herself, she said. Since then, she’s done a lot of work, including therapy, and has made significant progress in cultivating more peace and balance to her days.

Awe, Nice! welcomes interviewees. If you have a moment you experienced while working outside and would like to share it, contact us at awenice.com. We thank Kershaw knives and Redmond salt for their generous sponsorship.

Music is by my friend, Forrest Van Tuyl. You can find a link to Forrest as well as an Awe Nice donate button here.

Keep your eyes, ears, and mind open. Until next time.
