After finishing her first road marathon, she casually signed up for the SwissAlpine 78K, kicking off a long love affair with ultrarunning.Since then, she’s tackled big races, summited Kilimanjaro, and even got her kids involved — literally. She co-founded COS-TRCK, a youth summer trail running camp in Colorado Springs that introduces kids to the magic of moving on dirt.We talk about the juggle of motherhood, training, and meaningful work — and how after 17 years in IT, she left her career to follow her purpose. That purpose? Building Dreama Adventures, a guiding business focused on empowering others through outdoor experiences.Dreama also shares the behind-the-scenes story of Dreama Team, a documentary that captures her life, identity, and the power of doing really hard things — including running ultras as a mom of four.This convo is packed with inspiration, hard-earned lessons, and love for community.Dreama’s Links IG @dreamawalton       @dreamaAdventureCoDreamAdventuresDreama Team FilmRelevant LinksCOS-TRCK Youth Trail CampTrail Runner Mag FeatureDreama on UltraSignupPartner Links: Janji - Janji.comA big shoutout to our sponsor, Janji!
