During this season of the Virtual Campfire, we’re sharing stories from community members who have been through our Blaze Your Own Trail to Self-Love program. Tune in every Wednesday to learn more about the program, how it has impacted their lives, and how you can get involved. Our next class starts on February 19 and we’d love to have you join us!

Victoria Amico has been part of this community since the early days.

We had the pleasure of connecting on my speaking tour when it went through Colorado in 2019, she joined our first class of Blaze Your Own Trail to Self-Love in 2020, and we’ve had a blast following along as she’s been preparing for her thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail.
