To follow up on my previous National Period Day post, I want to continue to destigmatize talking about periods by talking about how high-altitude / international travel affects your period and how products like Always 3-in-1 Liners can help. ⁣⁣When I was climbing Everest/Chomolungma this past spring, I was pretty freaked out when my period lasted nine straight days. Normally, it is only four-five days long. ⁣⁣Luckily, we had a female high-altitude doctor, and when I asked her, she told me that periods go “cray cray” at higher altitudes. I’m so grateful I was able to talk to her about it and she knew what was going on! It put my mind at ease.⁣⁣For situations like these, I love packing @Always_brand 3-in-1 Liners. Whether you are climbing a mountain, backpacking or in a big city, Always Liners provide protection from bladder leaks, irregular periods and discharge so you can climb with confidence.⁣⁣For many years of my life, I felt so ashamed to talk about these issues. I’ve found it liberating to be able to discuss periods openly and honestly. And I don’t want women of any age to feel that shame. ⁣⁣It’s important to have these discussions to normalize conversations about women’s health. Thanks for supporting me in continuing to normalize period discussions! #ad

Happy International Men’s Day. You might be wondering, do men need a day? And to that I say, absolutely yes. ⁣⁣Lifting up women also means lifting up men. Redefining femininity means addressing masculinity. Just like a woman can be strong and girly, a man can also be emotional and manly. ⁣⁣You can be a man and love deeply and cry freely. You can be a strong man and go to the doctor and ask for help. You can say I love you to another man and not be gay. ⁣⁣If we want to create a better world for women, let’s bring men along for the ride. Creating a more just an equitable world where people can be the best versions of themselves includes calling in men. Let’s celebrate positive masculinity! ⁣⁣If you want to learn more, I highly recommend listening to The Lonely American Man on the Hidden Brain podcast (link below and in bio).⁣⁣Tag a man who portrays positive masculinity below! ⁣⁣A few of my favorite: @rob.lea, @josebilingue, @mynameisbam, @fitzcahall, @mariorigby, @vasu.sojitra, @forestwoodward, @renan_ozturk, @noyekim, and charles_post.⁣⁣#internationalmensday ⁣⁣Photo: @vertizonphoto https://open.spotify.com/episode/1O1ue5DwsQWsrYSNx4bVab?si=1W3n22LsSoCIu68JdE8a5Q

Putting the Insta back in Instagram today. I love sharing photos in real times. And today- ACL buddies are back in the game! ⁣⁣This morning, I went out for my third day of skiing and my first time to the top of the run. I went with @stasia_art, who also tore her ACL last winter (also left knee). We’re both stronger than ever! My knee felt so good and stable!!! ⁣⁣Before last winter, tearing my ACL was my worst nightmare. Yet despite the injury, I’ve had one of my best years yet! There have been some ups and downs, but the overall trajectory has been overwhelmingly up. ⁣⁣I’m so grateful my sponsors stuck with me. A lot of athlete contracts have clauses that allow the brand to drop athletes if they are unable to perform due to injury. It’s the reality of the profession I’ve chosen. Most of the brands I work with are like family to me (@clifbar even included a pregnancy protection clause in my latest contract!!!) and I’m so grateful they continue to believe in me! Thank you @patagonia_snow, @keen, @clifbar, @fattire, @lekiusa, @julboeyewearna, @gaiaherbs, and @prethelmets.
