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!

EMERGENCY: Our public lands are under attack! Here's how to fight back.
This is not a normal episode of Outdoorsy. It’s an emergency.
Right now, a dangerous amendment proposed in the Senate threatens to sell off 3.3 million acres of public land, including BLM and USFS land we hike, camp, and recreate on every day. It bypasses tribal consultation, disregards public input, and could permanently restrict public access to these lands.
In this bonus episode, I break down:
- What’s in the “Big Beautiful Bill” (aka H.R.1 / the reconciliation bill)
- Why this land sell-off is so dangerous
- What we actually know about the millions of acres in question
- How we’ve stopped similar amendments before
- What YOU can do in the next two weeks to fight back
We’ve done it once. We can do it again. But we have to act now.
💥 Be brave with me. Let’s keep public lands in public hands. Let’s give them hell.
