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.

Worth the Schlep
S1E8: I Want One with Pedals
Planning even the simplest of outdoor adventures as a parent is a project, whether your kids are in tow or you're on your own.
In this solo episode, Tess talks about the tug of war on time, wanting to both share every moment with her kids and to have space for her own pursuits, and trusting that being a model for chasing what lights you up matters just as much as sharing what lights you up. But anyone out there who has figured out this thing called "balance" in parenthood, please send your wisdom our way!
