I’m Brenda, GenX, after 28 years in real estate, I’m answering a deeper call. In 2026, I begin a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.

I walk with fear, PTSD, and nighttime anxiety—and I walk anyway. The woods are where I feel safest and where healing happens. My German Shepherd, Ranger, has been my steady companion, helping me face fears and find calm in the quiet.

This journey isn’t about speed or perfection. It’s about courage, simple living, and becoming stronger from the inside out—one step at a time. 🌲🐾
