S10 - Episode #02 - Anna aka "Magic"

Season 3 fan-favorite Anna, aka Magic, is back—and this time, she’s gearing up for another adventure of a lifetime! 

The week this episode drops, Magic will be taking her first steps on the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,650-mile journey from Mexico to Canada. We dive into her training, gear choices,  and what she’s most excited about as she embarks on this epic thru-hike.

She shares how her past hikes have shaped her, the mental prep needed for months on the trail, and the unexpected challenges of planning a PCT trek. We also talk trail magic, resupply strategies, and the emotional rollercoaster of long-distance hiking.

Tune in and send some good vibes her way as she sets out on this life-changing journey!
