Waiting is the Worst Thing You Can Do: Rebecca Sperry, Socked In Hikes (Part 2)

Before you launch into Part 2 of my conversation with Rebecca Sperry, aka Socked In….. if this is the first time you’ve listened to Guides Gone Wild, or if you missed my last episode, I HIGHLY suggest you go back and listen to the last episode first.

This is the second part of a long-form conversation I had with Rebecca, and while you don’t necessarily need to hear her back story to appreciate what you’re about to hear, it will (for sure) give you even more context and make this episode that much more powerful and inspiring.

I also want to throw a trigger warning out there. Rebecca and I talk about cancer in this one. A LOT.

Please, please, follow Rebecca @SockedInHikes on Instagram, and from there you can access all of her good stuff from her bio links. 

And please, PLEASE, get your mammograms and other preventative tests. A lot of us, myself included, put stuff on hold during COVID, but it’s time to stop making excuses, pick up the damn phone, and get on the schedule.

I hope you’ll share this episode with friends or family members who might need to hear Rebecca’s message, or direct them to RebeccaSperry.com. Don’t forget, she writes about all the things over there - hiking AND heroism.
