#97 - How To Deal With Life After The Trail With Kyle O'Grady

Text the show!On this episode, I talk with Kyle O’Grady of The Trail Tales Podcast about what it’s like dealing with the “Post Trail Blues.”  We talk a lot about the grand adventure when we’re ON it or look back at it fondly when we’re not, but we rarely talk about what it’s like after it’s all over.  For most of us, we’re left wondering what we’re supposed to do next. We’ve built an identity around this adventure and now that it’s no longer something to look forward to, we tend to slip into a slight depression.Show Notes and LinksIntroductionsGetting to know KyleWhat it’s like getting into podcasting and seeing it growExploring podcasting topicsKyle’s journey into backpacking and Thru HikingWhat happens mentally after a long trailThe emotional connection to a grand goalThe reality of post trail bluesHow to cope with missing the trailWhat it was like getting back out on the trail againKyle’s experience with being in his headAdvice for future thru-hikersTrail Tales Podcast My Episode with Trail Tales Support the showThanks for tuning in!  Check out the links below to learn more, connect, and support the show.www.byland.coJoin my NON-SPAM newsletterLeave a [email protected]
