blissful hiker ❤︎ inspiring you to hike your own hike
Long-distance solo hiker Alison Young knows hard-core backpacking as few people do. With footprints on six continents and memories from trails like Te Araroa and the Pacific Crest, she is a member of a very small and prestigious group.
In a series of personal essays coupled with found sound and her own flute playing, this podcast explores her journey of self-discovery as a middle-aged woman, sharing the sometimes unglamorous but vital truth about empowerment, inspiring others to blaze their own trails in this journey we call life.

Let the Day Unfold
Let the Day Unfold! Let its gentle voice guide you toward unexpected surprises and open your heart to the lessons it holds.
- The lowly New Zealand sandfly teaches us about impermanence, to keep moving forward and to stay open to possibility.
- Letting the Day Unfold is a refreshing counterpoint to the classic carpe diem mindset.
- Rather than gripping the day tightly and trying to control every moment, this phrase invites us to ease our grip, to stay present, receptive, and ready for whatever detours might appear.
MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
