Cool Girls Club was born from the power of healing, connection, and a deep love for the outdoors.

It all began with Em – fresh out of a physio session after knee surgery, cruising in her car, listening to The Diary of a CEOpodcast, and craving something more. More purpose. More adventure. More life.

Then came a moment of unexpected inspiration: she passed by a run club jogging across the Harbour Bridge. Em wasn’t a runner (the thought of pounding pavement until her legs gave out didn’t exactly thrill her), but what caught her eye was the energy – the camaraderie, the laughter, the shared purpose. After months of injury and missing the joy of movement, she felt a powerful longing for that same sense of connection and community.

Fast forward through six months of rehab, and the moment finally arrived – her physio cleared her to run and jump again. The joy was real. Em was ready to dive back into the outdoors with fresh fire.

As an Outdoor Education Teacher at an all-girls school in Sydney, she had seen firsthand how nature helped young women grow from quiet and unsure into confident, courageous leaders. That was the spark. What if she could create a space for adult women to do the same?

Enter: Cool Girls Club.

We’re here for the women who want adventure without needing to run a 5-minute kilometre. For the ones who find joy in walking, talking, exploring, and connecting. For those ready to try something new and surprise themselves with what they’re capable of.

At CGC, we believe movement and nature can unlock confidence, community, and joy. Whether it's a casual hike, a spontaneous meet-up, or a multi-day camping trip, we’re here to support each other and celebrate the small wins – together.

And we’re just getting started.

Our mission? To empower women through outdoor adventure, connection, and skill-building. So grab your gear, shake off your doubts, and join us.

Let’s rewrite the idea of what it means to be outdoorsy – one trail at a time.
