## Resource

What if sticking out your thumb on the side of the road turned into one of the most life-changing experiences of your journey? After completing the Great Divide Trail, Jada set out to hitchhike 500 miles back to Montana—and along the way, she discovered the power of trust, the kindness of strangers, and the unexpected magic that happens when you leave room for it. In this continuation of her story, Jada shares unforgettable encounters with trail angels, surprising meals with strangers, and the lessons that only long-distance hiking can teach. From trail magic to her mantra of “live so hard, it hurts,” Part 2 of our conversation will inspire you to lean into life, embrace the unknown, and seek out your own adventure.
