The Distance Hiker Podcast Episode 30 - The outdoors is for all with Steph Wetherell

Humans of the Trail

In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Steph Wetherell, one of the co-founders of Every Body Outdoors. Steph is a trailblazer in the outdoor community, working to promote representation and accessibility for people of all sizes in the great outdoors.

As we talked, Steph shared her personal journey of falling in love with the outdoors and the challenges she faced along the way, particularly when it came to finding gear that fit and suited her needs. It was these challenges that ultimately inspired Steph and her co-founder to start Every Body Outdoors, a company dedicated to providing plus size outdoor gear and promoting inclusivity in the outdoor industry.

Throughout our conversation, Steph emphasized the importance of making the outdoors accessible to everyone, regardless of their size or shape. She also spoke about the transformative power of nature, and how it has the ability to heal and bring people together.

It was truly an honor to speak with Steph and learn about her passion for the outdoors and her dedication to creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for people of all sizes. I left our conversation feeling inspired and motivated to do my part in promoting representation and accessibility in the outdoor world.
