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