21: Sarah Bulford - On Quitting Her Dream Job As A BC Park Ranger, Marketing, Art, Motocross, & More

My guest today is Sarah Bulford. I first became aware of Sarah while scrolling through Instagram and an article popped up while I was browsing titled, ‘Why I Quit My Dream Job’. Intrigued, I clicked and read this story written by Sarah which chronicles her working towards and attaining her DREAM JOB of becoming a Park Ranger in the national parks of beautiful British Columbia, Canada...and then what it was actually like. She vividly describes the harsh dualities of what happens when you combine over-tourism and a misallocation of support resources. Now, my wife and I are from the prairies, and we recently moved to Penticton, British Columbia at the beginning of 2020. One of the reasons Why we moved was due to our draw of the mountains. British Columbia has some of the most spectacular nature in the world. The national parks are amazing, jaw-dropping, and absolutely breath-taking. My family are not the only ones...and when I read Sarah’s accurate depiction of what her experience was like. I felt a wave of emotions (similar as much as they could be...to what I imagined hers were and are). I was angry. I was disappointed. I was disgusted, pissed off, and left to wonder ‘what can be done...and what can I do? The first thing that came to mind was ‘well I have to share her story. Let her voice be heard. Listen to her and engage in a dialogue that is extremely important.’ We must do better to preserve, protect, respect, and live WITH nature. We must work towards being part of the solution, not the problem. I highly recommend you read Sarah’s story (which is hyperlinked in the description of this episode) and thank you Sarah for having the courage to share it. In addition, Sarah is also known as Mountaindarlin on social media (Instagram: @Mountaindarlin) and is at the time of recording, supported by Klimwomen, GoPro, Redbull, Arcteryx, and DPSkis) and resides in Squamish BC! Her lifestyle is (in my opinion) totally amazing. She ski’s/rock-climbs/ has recently got into motocross and can be found ripping a dirt bike or plummeting down a ski slope in her spare time. For the last 7 years, she volunteered with the very busy Squamish Search and Rescue. She pays for her hobbies by working in marketing (Mountaindarlin Media - offering social media growth services) and selling watercolor art (Adveniredesigns.com) on the side. You can connect with her at www.mountaindarlin.com or on Instagram). This episode is packed with goodies and takeaways as we go over her story and talk about environmentalism, art, marketing, BC, motocross, and more. Please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Sarah. This episode is also watchable HERE on my YouTube channel. If you enjoyed the show, please rate and leave a review.
