Michael gives us the pleasure of learning about his passion for people, nature, and mental health. As someone who has not only trekked the wilderness in a wide-array of locations, he's also trekked some paths of growth and healing within his own mind.

What is it like to constantly have your beliefs challenged willingly in black, white, and gray discussions? Michael values the idea of sharing opinions and perspectives constantly while making sure to find a middle ground of growth and understanding. To not just let temper control him, but rather to feel all the emotions that come with being a human.

Kaisa divulges the secrets, or not-so-secrets, to her optimistic outlook on life. From living with an abundant community of love and compassion, to being a leader of wellness, health, and joy, Kaisa explains the importance of caring for each other in a world that, otherwise, wants to pull us apart. She is an inspiration of finding yourself in a society that would rather tell you who you're supposed to be than letting you discover the universe inside of you.

Donnalee, a rugged explorer of the world, tells us all we need to know about finding peace in our greater communities through the stories of her past. From living in Japan, to trying to fit into an American high school for a single year of her life, to finding out she was made for the Colorado mountains, she's experienced more self-discovery than most have in their entire lifetimes. Donnalee is a woman who cares about the poor, the discriminated, and the mistreated. She has finally found a place within her to fight the fight she thought she couldn't for many years.

Donnalee's audiobook can be purchased anywhere you can get audiobooks including this link to Audible: "Henrietta Cloud Brown: 1855-1941: Telluride Mountain Woman"
