Storytelling is how we started.

Promising 360 degree views of San Diego, the summit of Cushi-Pi* was socked in, leaving me alone with my thoughts. It was on this cloudy summit that the phrase “hiking my feelings” hit me like a ton of bricks. Initially, it was a realization that hiking had replaced my go-to coping mechanisms of eating and drinking my feelings after I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. What started as a blog post and a hashtag in 2018 has now expanded to everything you see here.

If all of this is possible because of one mountaintop idea, what else is possible?

*Cushi-Pi is the original Kumeyaay name for the mountain currently called Stonewall Peak
