A Message from Nicole Snell: | |
Welcome and Happy Fall! This newsletter is packed full of info, so let's get to it!
First, I have 3 BIG Announcements in this newsletter!
1: For the first time in GFB history, I'm offering a FREE GFB Virtual Seminar for survivors in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
2: I have another Badass Basics Workshop (in person) scheduled for November. It'll be my last public class of the year, so be sure to sign up!
3: I'm participating in the Treeline Review 5th Birthday Giveaway for Women-owned Outdoor Brands!
All the details are below!
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and I'm going to be on the road training at several colleges as well as some government agencies and doing some travel abroad. That's a lot for one month! It fills my heart with joy to know that the work I do helps other people live a more fulfilled and empowered life while also reducing and preventing violence. Follow my IG account for stats and resources for DV survivors throughout the month.
On a personal note, a friend asked me to take her backpacking for her first time. I was so excited that she asked me and trusted me to give her this experience! I took her on an overnight to one of the best beginner backpacking trails in Los Angeles and she loved it! Not only that, but she wants to go again!
I'm continuing with my new "Solo Hiking Nuggets" newsletter feature. Let me know if you find these helpful.
Enjoy your Fall weather and activities and see you soon!
Best,
Nicole

October is:
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
| |
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Follow me on social media where I'll share stats, resources, and information about this despicable crime. The more awareness we have about domestic violence, its warning signs and the people it affects, the better position we are in to help. Together we CAN end domestic violence and all other forms of gender-based violence. | |
I had some incredible events last month, including this 700 student audience at Miami University-Oxford! Thank you for inviting me to present my gender-inclusive Students Fight Back program to your campus! | |

Welcome to the second edition of Solo Hiking Nuggets!
Last month I started something new in my newsletters, "Solo Hiking Nuggets." Each month I'll have a new nugget of information for you regarding solo hiking, gear, empowerment, and more!
While I don't give safety tips, I do love to give general strategies for solo hiking! These Solo Hiking Nuggets are meant to inspire you to think about your own adventures and help you feel confident getting outside and beyond!
