Outdoorsy
Welcome to Outdoorsy—a podcast and community dedicated to redefining what it means to be “outdoorsy.”
If you’ve ever felt like the outdoor community wasn’t built with you in mind, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re scaling mountains, reading by the campfire, or just enjoying the occasional stroll through the park, this podcast is for you.
This podcast stems from the belief that the outdoors are for everyone as long as you’re curious, kind, and respectful.
Join host Madeleine (she/her), as she uplifts real-world stories from outdoor educators, small business owners, content creators, and nature enthusiasts who haven't always felt represented in the traditional "outdoorsy" community. Expect engaging, fun, and heartfelt discussions focused on inclusivity, curiosity, and building a community where everyone feels welcome, regardless of background or experience level.
Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or new to exploring nature, Outdoorsy invites you to be part of this growing movement. Let’s get started and redefine what it means to be outdoorsy!
