5 Life-Changing Benefits of Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone With Wild Women Escapes




Stepping out of your comfort zone can feel daunting, but it’s where growth and empowerment truly happen. At Wild Women Escapes, we believe that adventure is not just about the great outdoors; it’s also about discovering the strength within ourselves. 


Here are five transformative benefits of embracing the unknown with us:


1. Personal Growth and Resilience


When you challenge yourself to try something new and intimidating—like tackling The Enchantments Thru Hike—you develop resilience. Each step outside your comfort zone builds your confidence and ability to handle life’s challenges. You learn that you are capable of much more than you initially thought.


"Taking on the Enchantments Thru-Hike was definitely intimidating at first, but it turned out to be one of the most empowering experiences of my life. I discovered a resilience I didn’t know I had, especially during those last 4 miles!. The breathtaking views and the support from the other women made it unforgettable.”

2. Building a Supportive Community


Joining a Wild Women Escapes trip isn’t just about the activity; it’s about connecting with like-minded women who share your same passions and aspirations for the outdoors. You’ll make friendships that extend beyond the trails, creating a supportive community of rad women who you can adventure with in the future.


“The trip was a challenge but an amazing experience! It was something outside of my comfort zone – and I’m so glad I took the risk! I enjoyed meeting other awesome women, pushing myself, and learning more about backpacking.”

3. Rediscovering Your Strengths


When you push yourself to hike a challenging trail or navigate a new environment, you often discover hidden strengths and talents. Whether it’s problem-solving, leadership, or simply the ability to push through discomfort, these experiences help you realize just how capable you are—both on and off the trail. 


4. Expanding Your Horizons


Stepping outside your comfort zone allows you to experience new things, from breathtaking landscapes to diverse fauna. These adventures broaden your perspective and inspire you to embrace life’s unpredictability. 


5. Setting and Achieving Goals


Every adventure trip offers a chance to set a goal, whether it’s surviving your first backpacking trip or simply completing a challenging hike. Achieving these goals can be incredibly empowering and serves as a reminder that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. 


"The organization that was put into planning and executing this trip was incredible…I now feel more confident in my abilities to plan a backpacking trip with my friends and family. It also has piqued my interest in hiking in state parks near me! Nature has a beauty that I don’t want to escape! Thank you Wild Women."
