Ever dream of quitting your job and wandering off into the forest? Then you will love hearing Julia's story of what led her to do exactly that, and how she continues to be a full time long distance backpacker.

Karen is dynamic woman who sought answers from her own experience through menopause, and then went on to further share what she found out with the world. After raising four children, Karen found herself smack bang in the middle of menopause and with zero idea of what to do with her life.
