"I think once you get to a point in your life where things are being a little bit on autopilot, you need to stop and check in with yourself as to why you're still doing what you're doing."

We speak with wilderness homesteader, winter wilderness travel guide and Alone participant Kie Marrone. Kie spent 80 days surviving on the shores of Great Slave Lake in the North West Territories unassisted in the History Channel’s ALONE.

Kie, co-owns Lure of the North, which specializes in traditional winter travel, handcrafts and wilderness living. Kie spends most of her time fully immersed in the remote wilderness at her homestead in which her nearest neighbour is 10 kilometres by rough trail.

Our conversation goes many places; Kie’s time by herself surviving on Alone, what does it look like to lead with vulnerability and how challenging that can be in a culture where, unfortunately, our emotional expression still erroneously signals a sign of weakness.

We talk about the challenge of staying our own course in life, following our internal compass, when the outside world is pushing hard to send us in a different direction and the power of reclaiming feminine leadership and the confidence it provides when women are able to show up with all parts of themselves and not try to fit into the traditional masculine model of leadership.

In this episode we talk about:

• Vulnerability - it's a powerful tool in owning who we are, unapologetically
• Intention - exploring our why and living our lives intentionally
• Gratitude - the role it  plays in our personal expression of spirituality
• Internal Compass - the challenge of staying our own course in life, following our internal compass, when the outside world is pushing hard to send us in a different direction.
• Feminine Leadership -  not trying to fit into the masculine model of leadership.
