When former collegiate athlete and competitive skydiver Sydney Williams unexpectedly found herself on the receiving end of a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, while grappling with unresolved trauma from a decades-old sexual assault, she set out on a mission: turn her pain into power.

Two hikes across Catalina Island and 80 miles later, she founded Hiking My Feelings® to help others tap into the mind-body connection and the healing power of nature to kick self-limiting beliefs.

Sydney serves up her “truth juice” style of storytelling to break tough conversations wide open with practical, powerful content and experiences.
