Iron & Adventure is more than a brand,

it’s a way of life.

In a world that moves fast, we slow things down, returning to the roots of purposeful living, where the smell of cast iron cooking, the crackle of a campfire, and the vast beauty of the wild become the foundation for something deeper.

Whether you're dreaming of a life beyond the 9-to-5, exploring Yellowstone’s backcountry, building a vacation rental business, or learning how to earn in your off-season, I’m here to help guide you.

At Iron & Adventure, we provide the tools, training, and real-life support to help you gain the skills, confidence, and clarity you need to build a self-employed seasonal lifestyle you love.

Because adventure isn’t just about where you go,

It’s about the freedom you create, the stories you live, and the legacy you leave.

Let’s build that life, one season at a time.

MEET THE FOUNDER &
Seasonal Lifestyle Strategist & business mentor

Hey, I'm Sheila!

I created Iron & Adventure not just from a love of the outdoors, but from over 30 years of living a seasonal, self-employed lifestyle while running my vacation rental business, and learning how to thrive through every high and low.


What started as a passion for backcountry cooking, wilderness living, and storytelling around a fire has grown into a mission:

to help others turn their seasonal skills into sustainable income.

Inspired by the rugged beauty of Yellowstone National Park

and the freedom that comes with working for myself, I’ve built this space to support fellow adventurers, vacation rental hosts, wilderness cooks, and dreamers ready to step into their next chapter.
