From the self-described “fat kid” at school, Caro Ryan's life changed and a deep love and connection with the bush was born after a 3-day leadership training course in the Australian bush when she was 21.
These days, she’s now one of Australia’s top bloggers in the outdoor space via her website lotsafreshair.com.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- why she describes herself as the “unexpected outdoors chick”,
- how becoming the “red bandana girl” changed her life,
- the stories we tell ourselves, including in Caro’s case that she “wasn’t a runner”,
- using words, labels and phrases (such as “I’m a runner”) *before* you believe them,
- how to manage and mitigate the most common fears of being in the bush and
- how being in the outdoors is such a powerful catalyst for change for so many women.
