DON'T MOVE TO BILLINGS!! ..... ..... That was the advice EVERYONE gave me as I applied for jobs here in Billings. So many people had preconceived notions, bad experiences... everything you could think of, and, because of that, they thought their experiences would become mine. ..... ..... When I moved here I tried to push their voices out of my head. I picked an amazing place to live, started exploring the nature trails by my house, and I started to look for really good people to let into my life. Billings has a reputation of being less outdoorsy, everyone drinks, a lot, and goes to the bars, etc.. This may be true. But I've chosen another path. ..... ..... I went to story night at @eboncollective & @Montanagallery, I started monthly dinners in my neighborhood, I continue to do new hikes and go on weekly (+) adventures.. and when I tell Billings people about them they have no idea what I'm talking about. The people who don't love it here, well they didn't even try. Because in my short 5 months I've cleaned up my life, I am surrounded by love and support, and my life is better than it's ever been, which is scary! But I know if I ended up here after all I went through then I can survive anything. ..... ..... So if you live or are from Billings and don't love it, then keep following me, check out my blog (link on the bio), because I'm going to show you just how great it can be... starting with Four Dances (PICTURED!). A super short hike with gorgeous views... and once I got attacked by goats. #bridoesmontana #bridoesbillings ..... ..... #GOATworthy #BuiltForTheWild #OptOutside #borninthemountains #earnyourview #whyihike #likeamountaingirl #montanamoment #visitmontana #billings365
IF IT SCARES YOU DO IT! ⛷ ..... ..... Skiing is the best example I can think of where I am constantly terrified and don't want to go but end up being so happy I did. Growing up I skied, because I lived in Montana (!), but I didn't ski enough. I was embarrassed by my abilities so every time a cute guy asked me to go 😉 I would find a way out of it. @shayshay406 was the only person I felt comfortable skiing with. I realize as I type this the hardest person for me to be "me" in front of is a significant other. Maybe that's why I don't date. 😂 (Seriously analysis this if you want because I always need advice!). PS my best friend might be the love of my life because who says it has be a lover?! Sometimes it's your dog or your best friend or your child! #randomfact ..... ..... Over the past few years I've dated a few guys who were WAY better (mostly just liked to go fast!) and we fell into this routine of 2/3 where I would ski 2 laps in the the time it took him to ski 3... #seeyaatthebottom! The older I get the more I try to get comfortable being uncomfortable. I'm not sure why, maybe because I've always been more book smart, but I have this need to be instantly good at something... and if I'm not, I just quit. ..... ..... It's a bad habit, maybe one of my WORST, so tomorrow I will strap on some skis and hit the slopes. I'll be scared I'm going to fall off the lift, terrified of going too fast on the first run, then I'll get comfortable just in time for the soreness to kick in. 😂. But that's what life's about. It's about making a list of TERRIFYING things, honest to God terrifying things, then working your way through that list. ..... ..... Pictured: an 18 year old Bri who was taken to the top of @snowbird in a white out, terrified, and who made it down successfully! I hit my fair share of hard runs and took my time. One turn after the other. After I made my way through the hardest part I asked my uncle to snap a photo so I could have proof of my success. #bridoesutah ..... ..... #longestseasoninutah #snowbunny #powderday #conqueryourfears #doubleblackdiamond #whiteout #youcandoit #snowbird #womenwhoski
Sometimes life is about unexpected moments, moments where you decide last minute to push yourself out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. ..... ..... Last week @bigskywomen called me and asked if I would be willing to photography @rechargeandrealign. I went back and forth, as it was a long drive, I had other engagements, and I was nervous about showing up the way they needed me to (I'm a huge self doubter and set too high expectations for myself!). After I pushed my fears aside I realized what an amazing opportunity it would be for my business, soul, and my goal of pushing myself to adventure more this year. So I said yes, packed a bag, and headed on a 7 hour road trip with 3 women I did not know, which funnily is not out of my comfort zone. ..... ..... The weekend ended up being one of the best things I could do for myself. The women surrounding me (there were 14 of us!) encouraged me to be strong and grow my business. They gave me great tips and tricks, bathed me in 100% love and support, and I even picked up a few new clients. I went snowshoeing for the first time and fell in love with it... because it's bascially winter hiking. I pushed myself on many levels but also allowed myself to opportunity to say no when I needed to withdrawal from the group and reflect. ...... ...... On the way home I rode back with 2 other women I didn't know and no joke we spent about 8 hours talking nonstop. #soulsisters. I want to make note; however, that my life the past 5 years has been more bad than good even though I stayed as positive as I could. And because of that I had anxiety Sunday night, after it was all over, and I wasn't able to fall asleep until 1am. There is no aspect of my life that I don't have some sort of struggle, even in the good moments. This year is going to be filled with amazing opportunities and growth but also relearning how to accept love and positivity back into my life. #bridoesmontana ..... ..... #rechargerealign #womensupportingwomen #womeninspiringwomen #womenwhoexplore #thisis30 #selflove #montanamoment #whitefish #visitwhitefish #skiwhitefish #snowbunny #snowshoeing
Jumping into 2019! ..... ..... Last week I stayed at my first forest service cabin, this weekend I'm headed to Whitefish for the @rechargerealign retreat! One of my goals for 2019 was to spend less time indoors, less time distracting myself with Netflix, and more time outdoors, exploring my beautiful home state and finding new adventures. I also want to touch my toes, pay off my student loans, and eat less sugar and processed foods. Only two weeks in, 2019 sure is shaping up to be the best year yet. #bridoesmontana ..... ..... #nothingcanstopme #montanamoment #wiseriver #blondehair #blueeyes #GOATworthy #OptOutside #borninthemountains #likeamountaingirl #bighole #2019goals
"All good things are wild and free" ..... ..... Last week @ess_effect andbi went to West Bridger Cabin. Surprisingly it was my first time at a forest service cabin. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Like always I had ideas in my mind that didn't play out but the trip was better than I imagined as I quickly checked my expectations at the door. ..... ..... We started both an indoor and outdoor fire. We made a cheese plate, opened a bottle of wine, and we sat outside by the fire enjoying the stars. When we got cold we went back inside and set up our beds. We opened another bottle and sat and talked. We tried to journal but got very distracted. But I do think we brainstormed some amazing ideas. ..... ..... We donned head lamps, blasted music (just in case), and survived pitch black bathroom adventures. We shared a nightcap and quickly drifted off to sleep, the sound of crackling fire soothing us. Somehow we slept until 9am and made the most delicious breakfast which quickly turned into an impromptu photoshoot. We packed up and slowly took our time driving back, stopping to hike and photograph horses. We ended our trip at Natural Bridge Falls. ..... ..... Overall it was such a fun time! It was great to connect again with an old friend (it had been while), an awesome reminder to avoid overpacking (I made a list of useful camping equipment for next time), and it was a wonderful way to start the new year! #bridoesmontana 📸: @ess_effect ..... ..... #westbridgercabin #forestservicecabin #montanamoment #visitmontana #BuiltForTheWild #OptOutside #borninthemountains #earnyourview #whyihike #likeamountaingirl
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO THE BOILING RIVER?! ..... ..... It had been years so my best friend and I jumped in the car and headed to Yellowstone National Park. Just a few miles off the road you'll find a natural hot springs and if you're lucky you just might see some elk on the ridge or even in the water! ..... ..... The Boiling River is one of my winter favorites and if you head over to my YouTube channel you'll find one of favorite vlogs from this year where I show you around the Boiling River. It was such a blast to make and rewatch and one of the reasons I love video over photos! ..... ..... I am SO excited for 2019 because I am going to spend every second exploring my home state. I went to Wise River last week and already have an adventure planned for next week! There is so much to see and do around Montana! Unfortunately my "good" camera is being repaired so I've been spending more time just enjoying the moments! ..... ..... My goal for 2019 is to record more of my life and share my adventurous moments with you! Over time, moments, dates, and times are lost but photos help us remember. I've taken photos my whole life and my blog is a way to share and catalog those moments because photobooks are too much work! #bridoesmontana #bridoesthenationalparks ..... ..... ✔ TELL ME: What is one BIG plan you have for 2019? ..... ..... #yellowstonepledge #theboilingriver #boilingriver #yellowstonenationalpark #yellowstoneriver #sorelfootwear #montanamoment
