Emma Brett has struggled with childhood PTSD, body dysmorphia, food and alcohol addiction. But a walk to the forest changed everything! Now four years sober, Emma has managed to heal herself from the inside out. She's lost — and kept off — half her body weight and has a new official addiction: walking. This July, Emma will take on a new challenge of walking Scotland's famed West Highland Way.  Our conversation will hit home for anyone wondering if there's a place for them in the outdoors, for anyone struggling to put themselves on the list and those looking for a kick of inspiration towards taking their own first steps on a long-distance hike.
