From Design to Adventure with Pamela Zoolalian

In this conversation, Pamela takes us from her creative design career into the wild world of outdoor adventure guiding. But this isn't a typical career change story. This is about the mindset shift that makes the impossible feel inevitable. It's about facing the fears that keep so many women small and choosing adventure instead. She talks about the power of community, why your circle either lifts you up or holds you down, and how she built a movement called Adventure Her to help women reclaim their confidence, independence, and connection to the outdoors. If you've ever felt trapped by what you're supposed to do, questioned whether you're brave enough to try something completely different, or wondered if it's too late to reinvent yourself, this episode will light something up inside you. This is about owning your story. All of it. Pamela Zoolalian is an outdoor adventure guide, mindset coach, and founder of Adventure Her. She left her career in creative design to follow her passion for the outdoors and empowering women to step into their power through adventure. Pamela believes that the outdoors isn't just about hiking or climbing. It's about discovering who you really are when everything familiar is stripped away. She works with women who are ready to challenge themselves, confront their fears, and build unshakeable confidence.

How many dreams are we putting on hold because we convinced ourselves they're not realistic, practical, or possible at our age or stage?

And that when you're surrounded by the right people who believe in you, the impossible starts looking a lot more possible. This isn't just about outdoor adventure. This is about what happens when you finally decide to be about your dreams instead of just talking about them. ---------------------------------------- RESOURCES Adventure Her: adventureher.com [http://adventureher.com] Contact Pamela: theadventureher@gmail.com [theadventureher@gmail.com] PERFECT FOR * Women who feel stuck in their current life or career * Anyone considering a major change but afraid to take the leap * Women wanting to build confidence and independence * People interested in outdoor activities but held back by fear * Anyone ready to audit their circle and level up their relationships * Those seeking permission to follow their heart Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Outdoor Empowerment 03:42 Mindset and Overcoming Fear 09:23 Personal Journey and Transformation 15:58 Curiosity and Lifelong Learning 20:47 The Impact of Community and Ageism 22:06 Embracing Change and Growth 23:33 The Shift in Passion and Career 25:19 Finding a New Voice in Writing 27:24 The Birth of Adventure Her 28:49 Empowering Women Through Mindset 30:02 Auditing Your Circle for Growth 35:00 Advice for Overcoming Stagnation 40:26 Outro.mp4 ---------------------------------------- New episodes drop weekly.

Digging Into Yourself: How Archaeology Explains the Fluid Identity Women Never Talk About

In this episode, Jeanette sits down with archaeologist and wellness advocate Celia Orsini to explore one of the most unexpected intersections you'll hear on this show, what ancient human artifacts, rituals, and community practices can teach modern women about identity, mental well-being, and personal transformation. Celia breaks down why identity isn't fixed, it's fluid, layered, and constantly being excavated. She shares how she runs archaeology-inspired wellness workshops and why food, objects, and shared cultural practices carry memory in ways we don't fully appreciate. If you've ever felt like you're still figuring out who you are — that's not a flaw. That's the work. In this episode: Why your identity is more like an archaeological dig than a destination How ancient community rituals map onto modern mental health Archaeology-inspired exercises you can do to explore your own identity today The intergenerational transmission of identity — and how to break unhealthy cycles Why curiosity is a survival skill for personal transformation Quotable moment: "Your identity is your own little art project." — Celia Orsini Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 01:28 Celia's Background and Interest in Archaeology 02:57 The Storytelling Power of Artifacts and Identity 05:33 The Fluid Nature of Identity and Archaeological Discoveries 07:27 Personal Transformation and the Role of Curiosity 10:59 Cultural Practices and Community Bonding in History 15:41 The Importance of Community Support and Connection 20:47 Archaeology and Wellness: Workshop Approaches 24:10 Building Identity and Cohesion Through Activities 30:08 Leadership, Empathy, and Personal Growth 36:37 Exercises to Explore Personal Identity 40:38 The Intergenerational Transmission of Identity 41:24 Closing Remarks and Future Connections
