She Opts Out

Founders and Co-Hosts
Linda Alexander and Mandi Love

A Women’s Only Organization created specifically in order to Connect and Empower The Wiser Female Adventurer, who ages are typically in the range of 40- 100.

Women who are emerging (rather than aging) from being limited in time spent with commitments to family and life schedules.

We are women who now have more time to focus on our own interests, yet we have never made the time to expand on them and put those interests first.

Chenard is the founder of Her Hike Collective, an all-women’s hiking community. You can find her hosting the group’s quarterly hikes in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
