Step Into Confidence and Connection in the Great Outdoors
At Her Outdoor Journey, we believe every woman deserves the chance to explore the outdoors with confidence, build meaningful connections, and grow through transformative outdoor adventures.
As the founder of Her Outdoor Journey and host of the Soul Summit Podcast, Courtney Prete embodies this mission. Recently, she shared her story and insights on the Fall Obsession Podcast with Sam Thrash (You can listen to the episode here!). Through her inspiring conversation, Courtney revealed the heart of what makes Her Outdoor Journey special and offered practical takeaways for women ready to embrace their journey outdoors.
Let’s dive into the highlights from Courtney’s conversation and see how Her Outdoor Journey can be part of your story and make a lasting impact on your life.
A Journey from Passion to Purpose
Courtney’s love for the outdoors started young, tagging along with her dad on hunting trips. However, as she grew older, she began to notice a glaring gap: where are the women? Often the only woman in camp, Courtney saw the need for a space where women could learn, grow, and thrive in the outdoors.
Her solution? Her Outdoor Journey, an organization dedicated to empowering women to step into their outdoor passions. Since 2018, this community has grown into a nationwide movement, offering archery camps, guided hunts, outdoor adventure retreats, and wellness retreats—all designed to help women find confidence and camaraderie in the wild. Through HOJ, women are finding not just skills and confidence but a sense of belonging and purpose.
Insights from Courtney’s Conversation on the Fall Obsession Podcast
Courtney’s passion for empowering women in the outdoors came through loud and clear in her conversation with Sam Thrash. From building community to embracing new challenges, here are the insights that truly encapsulate what Courtney and Her Outdoor Journey are all about:
Building Confidence by Facing Challenges: For Courtney, hunting is about more than harvesting game—it’s about pushing past limits and growing through challenges. She shared stories of how stepping out of her comfort zone, whether guiding women or taking on her own hunts, has led to immense personal growth outdoors. She leaves us with a powerful reminder that the wild instills resilience and courage, lessons that extend into every aspect of life.
The Power of Connection: A huge part of what makes Her Outdoor Journey so special is the sisterhood that has blossomed within the community. Women come for the education and outdoor adventures but stay for the friendships and connections they form. These relationships go beyond outdoor education—they become lifelong bonds that uplift each other both in the field and in life.
Mentorship as a Ripple Effect: Mentorship is a key component of Her Outdoor Journey’s mission. It’s not just about teaching skills; it’s about empowering women to mentor others, creating a ripple effect that spreads confidence, leadership, and positive change through the outdoor space.
A Look Ahead: What's Next for Her Outdoor Journey
As Her Outdoor Journey continues to grow, the future is filled with exciting opportunities. In 2025, Courtney and the team will host 30 events across the country, offering guided hunts, archery camps, and women's retreats that encourage women to deepen their connection to nature, improve their skills, and grow as leaders in the outdoor space.
