Worth the Schlep

  • Summary

  • 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, an 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.

    Tess interviews her first guest, her very own mom! While her mom may not consider herself an outdoor adventurer, she certainly guided many family trips that fostered an early love for exploring new places, National Parks, and forced family time in the car. Tess gets her mom's take on the cross country road trips of her childhood, and they reminisce the navigation plans, backseat entertainment, and photo memories that were all so very 90s.

    Let's face it, those early baby days can be filled with a healthy mix of joy and chaos. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, alone, and hopeless that you would ever be able to get out for big adventures again while your life feels like it has been turned upside down. Even small outings can feel like a struggle!
    Tess reflects on some of her own moments of chaos in those early baby days, and reminds friends and listeners in the thick of pregnancy or newborn life, "I have been there, and you are doing great!"

    Sometimes plans for a family adventure just can't get off the ground. For one or many reasons, you just can't make it happen. Forget the adventure being WORTH the schlep, you can't even GET to the schlep! Tess and Brandon reminisce on an elusive weekend adventure to the Olympic Coast that never came to pass, and realize that when kids are involved, they're just not as flexible as they used to be when plans go awry.
