Confession from a backcountry baddie: I don’t like telling people I used to patrol because I still have imposter syndrome even though it was almost 5 years ago & I was great at my job (just clumsy) 🫠 

It was definitely challenging but I’m really glad I did that season on patrol! I’m so grateful to those who believed in me and took a chance on a naive rookie to join the team because ultimately that experience lead me into a career in the outdoors. 😌 Yes I had some embarrassing moments and HUGE imposter syndrome, but I got the job done. I completed every task that I was assigned, responded to all the calls I got, and provided A+ first aid to everyone who needed it. BUT MAN I WAS STRESSED OUT HAHAHAH 😰

I really hope that this vulnerable post can help another gal who might be feeling a bit in over her head in an outdoor position. You can do this!! It’s scary but that means it’s worth while! ❤️

Also the book is States of Adventure by the same guy who does the Dirtbag Diaries podcast - Fitz Cahall. 📖 The short story is ‘Just Make It Happen’ by Jen Altschul. Jen if you ever see this, thank you so much for sharing your story, it really made me feel like I’m not alone 💗
