Back Into Alignment (An Appalachian Trail Documentary)

In 2017, I decided to press the pause button on my rapidly expanding online business and my magical life in Hawaii and trek 1,000 miles on the Appalachian Trial. I hired my dear friend Kyle to help me document this experience because I couldn't imagine having this insane adventure without sharing it with you.
This documentary is a raw and real representation of my entire journey... What drove me to set out on this extended backpacking trip, What I learned while living in the woods for 94 days, and How my life was forever changed by this experience. ♡
Although this documentary project cost nearly $30,000 to complete, I have decided NOT to monetize this video. WHY? For me, my experience on the Appalachian Trail was all about strengthening my mental willpower + reconnecting with myself (not for views or $). This was a personal challenge of mine that I wanted to share with our online community just as I share all seasons of life here on this channel. The documentation of this journey represents an art piece of my personal adventure + my deepest wish is for this movie to act as lasting inspiration for anyone who longs to spend more time in nature or to challenge themselves with a new adventure. I am infinitely grateful to have had the opportunity to co-create this documentary with Kyle + my main intention is for this film to be as shareable and widespread as possible, which means no ads!
Alongside of this premiere, I am promoting a special fundraiser to give back to mother nature for teaching me some of the most profound life lessons during the 94 days that I lived in the woods. I chose a foundation that anyone who is an advocate for wildlife conservation, animal rights, and caring for the environment can get behind -- The Nature Conservancy. My goal is for our community to raise $3,000 by the end of this month + it would mean the world to me if you choose to contribute even just $1. LEARN MORE: / 1175132072686794
