K here's the thing: • You don't need me to tell you why working at @moosilaukeravinelodge is the best thing I've ever done with my life. If you know me at all, or have ever read anything I've ever written, you already know this. • What you might need me to tell you is why YOU should consider working there next year, for the spring, summer, or fall. • Working at the Lodge provides a rare opportunity: the chance to completely step away from the bubble of whatever else is going on in the world, and deeply engage with the place you are in, the experience you are facilitating, and the community you are a part of. • Working at the Lodge brings people together, forging friendships that can change your life. Working at the lodge will certainly teach you something about yourself, and what you're capable of (hint: it's more than you think.) The skills and mindset you will learn there will be, I promise you, valuable in every scenario you might find yourself in going forward. • If life has handed you a time of transition, or a period of a couple of months between things, or if you have that feeling deep down that you just need to drop everything you're doing right now and make a change, TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY. • Take it. Don't put it off. Don't say, "Oh I wish I could work at the Lodge." Do it. What is stopping you, and should you really let it? • This is your time to do something meaningful and magical, and the Lodge provides a rare and exceptional environment in which to do that. • It's never too late. I returned to the Lodge this year after being away for 4 years, and it changed my life. Again. • Let it change yours 💙 DM me for info on how to apply.

This kid and I climbed a mountain. ⛰️ And climbed some rocks. 🧗‍♂️ And slept in the Prius. 🚗 It was a great 3 days. 😃🍂🏃‍♀️ #newenglandrocks #priuslife #dirtbaglife #priuscamping #newenglandfall #katahdin #jockeycap #maine #carlyoutsidethebox #forthewynn #nomad #home #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving

This! Super fun. I've been doing it for years, and it's been a really valuable practice for my writing, not to mention fulfilling and relaxing. I look forward to it every week. All the details are in my website.

Want to build your own house? That's what my friend Melinda and her partner Stefan did. With no previous home-building experience, and a budget even I can wrap my head around, they built a space that matches them perfectly. This is the third and final in my series of posts about intentional spaces. Find all three on my blog, and find more pics of Melinda's house in my feed.

When I think about home ownership, two primary questions come to mind: 1) Where will it be, and 2) How will I pay for it? Do these questions resonate with anyone? If conventional ideas of home ownership don't match your lifestyle, this post examines my suggestions for breaking out of the box when it comes to thinking about housing. (Hint: it starts with assessing your priorities, ignoring any "rules of normalcy.") Find it on CarlyOutside.com, link in bio! Anybody else thinking about housing? Unconventional housing? Leave me a comment; let's talk! #carlyoutsidethebox #forthewynn #nomad #home #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving #housing #tinyhouse #home #outsidethebox

Marriage, Kids, and Houses, Oh My! ✳️New Blog Post✳️Link in Bio✳️ That moment when you realize big adult things are not so far away... This post in short: a younger friend bought a house in an expensive city. I freaked out and wondered whether I should also be working towards buying such a house. I calmed the heck down and remembered that I've never done things the conventional way, and I'm not about to start now 😜🤘 #carlyoutsidethebox This post is a reflection on my recent realization that space-ownership is something I want. It's the first of a three-part series about #intentionalspaces Find it in my bio/on my blog, read it, comment on it, share it... Talk to me about spaces! Let's get the conversation rolling! And while you're daydreaming about awesome #outsidethebox spaces, check out @earthwood_building_school @timberhomesvermont and @cabinporn , all great doses of inspiration! #forthewynn #unconventional #nomad #offthegrid #home #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #cordwood #marriage #growingup #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving

Coaching Philosophy

When I work with athletes, I help them get MORE out of the training they put in. Endurance sports can be a fun and easy part of your lifestyle, if you have the right support, accountability, and knowledge.

Through online coaching, you get all of this, combined with the one element that will transform your training from something that you do to part of who you are: FLEXIBILITY.
