Worth the Schlep
Adventuring outside with kids can be so fun and delightful, but let’s be honest. It's also downright exhausting – the gear, the diapers, the meltdowns, the strollers, the jacket no one wants to wear until you forget it, the snacks…good god, the snacks. But with a little time and maybe some (interrupted) sleep, sometimes those trips are also absolutely hysterical.
Join Tess King, a doctor and outdoor adventurer, athlete, and mom, for stories of the highs, lows, and hilarity of trying to raise an adventurous family. Next time you’re battling a meltdown or ear infection in the middle of a trip you prepped for all month in the hopes that everyone would have fun, just take a deep breath (or scream into the woods), because you got this, you’re not alone, and down the road, this will all be Worth the Schlep.

S1E2: Type 3 Fun is Not Fun at All
Season 1, Episode 1 of Worth the Schlep is here!
Join for the very first episode to meet your host, Tess King, and her husband, co-parent, adventure partner, and likely recurring podcast guest, Brandon King. Long time outdoor adventurers, Tess & Brandon have realized that getting outside now with their kids is no small feat and not as easy as social media makes it look. Sometimes it's super fun and everyone has a grand time...other times, the meltdowns or urgent care visits leave you wondering why you even bothered. But finding a way to laugh at the moments it gets hard might just make it easier to get back out there! Follow along to remember you're not alone when parenting starts to feel like too much Type 3 fun.
