Rewilding Parenthood - A podcast by Afuera Vida

The pressure to live in a certain way can feel oppressive. Many can cope, but for people like Emma and Richard - at some point it has to give. The expectation to have a certain career, status and path through life all felt like too much, especially as they’re young children were looking to them for guidance in an ever more complicated world. So Richard and Emma crafted a plan to step away for as long as they could. A year sabbatical in an RV granted them the freedom they desired without having to commit to an entire new approach to life. Whlle the decision may have been swift, the planning was meticulous, including their capacity to work throughout the year ahead of them, ensuring their ability to earn a living while living the lifestyle they wanted. They drove north through Sweden in the winter, skiing and pushing their little RV through conditions few vehicles or families would want to endure. They share stories of the heater freezing and staying wrapped in sleeping bags to stay warm. Right out of the gates they got a taste of what life on the road could deliver, but didn’t let the unavoidable problems step in the way of the experience they were living together. Emma and Richard have since sold their RV and returned to Sweden after fully embodying a lifestyle that they always dreamed about. They return changed, not knowing what will await them, but with a capacity to choose the direction they seek to head. Check out some of the photos from their trip @ADreamWorthChasing.
