Everybody needs a reset - a chance to turn off their phones, to give their body and mind a chance to truly live in the moment. Our Utah River Trip is just this - everyday we leisurely paddle to our next camping spot (stand up paddle or kayak — it’s your choice!), we take breathtaking hikes, we practice grounding yoga, we eat all the good food, and celebrate each days journey with happy hour and a toast to the day and to each other.

And the sprinkles on the cupcake? We send you home with professional photos just like these from the entire trip - yours to cherish and share forever.

This year’s trip is August 10th-15th. Join the Adventure at www.girlswithgrit.fit ☀️

It’s your lucky day. We just had a few last minutes spots open up for our Intro to River SUP Clinic this Saturday. ☀️

For beginners, learn how to stand up with confidence as well as basic and advanced stability skills. For more advanced paddlers, learn how to paddle more efficiently as well advanced footwork and strokes. Flip rescue, water analysis & turning skills, stroke analysis, rough water skills, moving water vs. still water technique are also covered.

Our clinics start on a private lake before we drive up the road to start our river adventure together. Professional photos + videos from our day, use of our demo fleet of boards and paddles and pfds, expert instruction, snacks + happy hour food and beverages (@tietonciderworks ⚡️) are included as well as a stacked swag bag from @girlswithgrit.adventureco 💥

Come on… you know you wanna join 👇

If you live in North Bend or want to take a little drive this summer, head to @pearlandstonewine for some tasty wine & to check out some of my @mahremedia art that’s now up in a few of their tasting rooms.

I have 9 pieces on display — some are prints on canvas with hand made barnwood frames by @andymahre and others are prints on metal.

Alongside each piece, I have written a note that tells a bit of a story behind the photo - so grab a glass of wine, walk through the rooms and step into some of our adventures.

These are all limited edition pieces and if you fall in love with one, you can purchase it and take it home with you that day.

Happy Monday, friends. Thank you for supporting small businesses. ✨

Do you feel like you are just holding on for dear life at times when you are descending on a mountain bike trail? Or maybe you feel confident on mellow, flow trails but anything technical throws you off?

Joining one of our spring clinics (or signing up for a private lesson) will not only give you the skills to control your bike in many types of terrain and conditions, but it will also give you the confidence you need to move past your fears and anxiety so that FUN is the main course every time you are on the trail.

Depending on which clinic you take or what focus you choose for your private lesson, head coach @shannonmahre can help you master speed control, cornering, that ol’ bike/body separation that is a GAME CHANGER, roll downs, wheel lifts, ascending + descending pro tips, intro to drops and SO MUCH MORE. In every clinic and lesson, Shan will get photos + videos of you for you to learn from as well as take home and have for personal use. *She’s also a professional photographer so this is a stellar bonus!

Get dialed now for an epic summer of shredding.

It’s been a long while since I’ve done a lil’ bio on here — to my oldest friends, you can skip reading this, but to my new friends, here’s a bit of a glimpse into what I do for work + life. ✨

⚡️I am the owner and head coach of @girlswithgrit.adventureco , a women’s coaching + adventure company based out of WA state. What do I coach? Well, almost everything that I love to do.

SKI :: December-March I am heavy into ski coaching, offering women’s intermediate-expert level ski clinics, cat ski retreats and private lessons. The resorts that I offer programs at? Alpental at @summitatsnoqualmie , @whitepass and @schweitzer_mountain 🎿

FLY FISHING :: I guide for @redsflyshop - mostly on the Naches + Tieton Rivers (June-October) but dabble in some walk + wade guiding on the Yakima River as well. I also teach Red’s women’s Collective programs + some of their university classes.

MOUNTAIN BIKE :: I offer women’s beginner-expert mountain bike full day clinics as well as half day skills clinics and private lessons.

RIVER SUP :: My husband, Andy, and I teach Intro to River SUP Clinics on the Yakima River in the summer months, which is an absolutely perfect way to get into moving water on your SUP. Also, our Utah River SUP Expedition that we host on the Green River is my favorite trip of the year — It’s a can’t miss!

GWG Collective MEET-UPS :: From mountain biking to hiking, trail running to road biking, join our free women’s meet-ups in WA for women to get together and have a dang good time outside as a crew. Putting on 5K’s + festivals & designing my GWG merch are also my jam.

PHOTOGRAPHER + WRITER :: I’ve been an adventure writer and professional photographer for nearly 20 years and still do work in this field through our other company, @mahremedia

MOM LIFE :: I love adventuring the most with my two young boys + husband, but a close second is getting out on a run or ride with my dogs + friends, or on a ride on my horse. Family first, always.

⚡️Interested in learning more about my company? Head on over to ww.girlswithgrit.fit — thank you for your support - the only reason that I get to do what I do is because of people like you. 🫶

OUR 𝔾𝕎𝔾 ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟’𝕤 𝕄𝕖𝕖𝕥-𝕦𝕡𝕤 LAUNCH is HAPPENING NOW. ⚡️💥🤘

For years, I have known this is something that our community needs — and I have finally been able to bring it to fruition. Introducing the 𝔾𝕎𝔾 ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟’𝕤 𝕄𝕖𝕖𝕥-𝕦𝕡𝕤 — FREE adventure meet-ups in WA state that bring women together in the outdoors. Yes, you read that correctly — these meet-ups are free and are solely volunteer-based. These meet-ups do not include our usual coaching, guiding or instruction, so if that’s more your jam, head on over to our clinics, trips + lessons page to check out those types of offerings for women.

Right now, we’ve got meet-ups for yoga, mountain biking, road biking on the Greenway, trail running, hiking and walk/jog sessions. As spring and summer progresses, I will be adding more dates and adventures to the schedule on my website so keep an eye out on the website for those updates.

Our April + May Meet-ups are live on my website at www.girlswithgrit.fit — click on the “GWG Collective Meet-ups” tab for more info + dates and to RSVP. You can also find all of the events that GWG is hosting on our “2025 Schedule” tab. There’s some good stuff in there.

Thank you all for your support over the years. If you are anyone you know would like to sponsor these meet-ups or any other aspect of GWG, feel free to reach out. We truly can do amazing things together.
