Hetty Key is a woman of big adventure. She has spent time bike packing across Slovenia, mountain climbing in the Alps, back country skiing in Kazikstan, surf trips in the North Sea, alpine ultramarathons in Scotland and much more. But as a woman of true soul and curiosity, she advocates for an equally important form of exploration- the micro-adventure. Hetty is mastering the art of bringing adventure into her life instead of always leaving her life behind to chase it. In this conversation we discuss the art of work life balance, cold water swimming, starting her own business, how to search for adventure in your back yard and her open letter to the outdoor community about depression, despondency and the role of social media on the outdoor community. Hetty’s letter openly dispels the myth that we always go outside to return a happier and more inspired version of ourselves. And that that’s okay. In this conversation we also discuss stepping out to work for ones self and how to know when you’re ready. This conversation is packed with gems. Enjoy.
