I spoke with Karla Amador on Mar 7, 2022. We spoke about how getting out in nature not only is great for our physical health but also our connection to our spiritual well-being. Being in nature can bring us many things and it is different for everyone. She speaks about how her company was formed and is currently inspiring others on her love of hiking. Karla shares how intuition has become a key way of living her life.
