I believe mid-life women are capable of wayyyyyy more than we've been told.
I'm Kim — hiker, backpacker, trail runner, gym rat, and former nutrition coach and trainer. I'm also a mom in my 40's who knows what it's like to try and find alignment — in heart, mind, and body. I want to share my tips, tricks and tales from the gym to the trail to help you feel more empowered and confident when it comes to seeking out adventure.
This show is about my journey through strength and adventure — not to chase perfection, but to show what's possible when we choose power, presence, and courage at any age.
Around here, you'll hear from me and others about the real truth behind training, fueling, and the kind of adventures that build you from the inside out — with a little grit, a lot of heart, and maybe a snack break or two along the way.
Welcome to Aligned Heart Adventures.
Injured Before the Start Line: My Wild Woman 50K Weekend Recap
In this episode, I get real about the emotional experience of showing up for a race I couldn't run, navigating my grief and disappointment while showing up for my friends and my takeaways from this whole experience. I'll take you through the highs and lows of what this process has been like and what it felt like to be present for the whole race weekend experience as an injured athlete on the side line instead of the start line.
A HUGE shout out to my friends who participated in their races this weekend. I love you all and am so wildly proud of you!!!

A Peak Inside My Backpack: The Gear That Helps Me Go Farther
I have been backpacking for 15 years and have learned a thing or two about what to bring along on a backpacking trip.
Today we are talking about all the items in my pack and how to choose which items to invest your money into. I share my favorite brands of items and what are non-negotiables for me (including a white noise machine). Happy listening!!!

15 Things I Have Learned from Ultramarathon Training
I knew there would be a lot to learn about running an ultramarathon (a distance beyond 26.2 miles) and I also figured "how much harder could it be than running a marathon?". Boy was that a stupid question.
Ultramarathons are a whole different beast and training for my first one has chewed me up and spit me out. I have been put through my paces and gotten a complete education in the last eight months.
I am happy to share what I have learned in the last eight months as a midlife woman, mom of two and aspiring mountain endurance athlete. Let's dive in, shall we?

The Starting Line I Can't Seem to Reach
When I started this Ultramarathon journey back in September 2025, I had NO idea this is where I would end up. Join me for a recap of where the last 8 months have taken me and where the show is headed.

Hard Isn't a Stop Sign
Let's be honest, when we chase our goals and dreams, there WILL be obstacles that pop up. It's not about avoiding them but coming up with a gameplan for how to deal with them when they do. Just because it's hard doesn't mean you should stop.
In this epsiode, we will cover some of the commonly talked about obstacles that come up in recreation like illness, injury and schedule conflicts. But we will also take a look at some of the lesser talked about ones like guilt, fear, and desire driven motivation.
We will look at the ways these obstacles show up and come up with a game plan for each one so you can feel more empowered to show up for yourself and more confident in setting those goals that will help you step outside your comfort zone to achieve your dreams!
