#54 | Hiking to Heal + Wellness Hikes, Scrambling up the Hollywood Sign, Building Community Through SweatSoGuud, Importance of Inner Work, and Backpacking Mount Whitney with Veronica Castro

On this episode I have LA based trekker, outdoor adventurer, community builder, wellness advocate, and founder of @SweatSoGuud, Veronica Castro, join me on the show. Veronica has been blessing the outdoor scene with her wellness group hikes and is a female community leader we should all pay attention to. We chat about her very first hiking memories, scrambling up the Hollywood Sign, the backstory behind creating SweatSoGuud, incorporating wellness into group hikes, her partnership with @SelfWorkByMe, her top 3 trails in Los Angeles, the importance of inner work, tips and advice for long day hikes & newbie hikers, hiking for healing, exploring a Santa Monica mountain trail gem, her Mexico adventures, highs and lows from her Mt Whitney backpacking journey, her passion for dance and live music, and the one outdoor experience she would re-live all over again.
