Stephanie Michelle Cawley. December 2020
Stephanie Cawley is a trans woman who is a nurse and an avid White Mountain hiker. In this episode, we speak about hiking the 4Ks and Stephanie's experiences on the trails. A note: we had some phone connection issues in this episode. We did the best we could to make everything clear and for the most part all is well, but there are still some small parts of our conversation that are not as clear as we'd like. Hopefully we can interview Stephanie in person after COVID and talk some more (and avoid telephone connection issues).
