She Built a Life Most People Wouldn’t Dare to Try
In this episode of Life in Motion, Jeremy talks with Tana Grenda, owner of Bristol Bay Fitness, host of Grenda’s Getaways, and author of the Wiley-Boo-Hah outdoor children’s books.
Tana shares how getting her pilot’s license at 17 eventually led her to Bush Alaska, where she and her husband built a life around family, adventure, and living off the land. They talk about becoming foster parents to a sibling group of five, launching a fitness business from home, creating outdoor retreats that help women build confidence, and writing books inspired by her family’s way of life.
It’s an honest conversation about choosing a harder but more meaningful path, tuning out outside opinions, and chasing the life that feels right for you.
