A hiking trip in Colorado for a friend's birthday planted a seed that eventually led Brandi Aulston MHA/MHE to found Hike+Heal, a women’s hiking hive offering grounding experiences to increase overall wellness, help eliminate health disparities and increase diversity in outdoor spaces for women of color.

* Overflow Only: Filling your cup as you pour into others

* Divine Downloads: The doors to your dreams

* Family Dynamics: The impact of a woman's wellness

* Personal Power: Cultivating transformation in your life
