On The Doorstep with Em & Zo

In this episode we talk about our (rather late off the mark) 2020 plans and we address managing fear. Although we specifically talk about fear in climbing, this can be related to fear in any outdoors sport. As two relatively novice climbers we tend to get the fear both at the climbing gym and out on the rocks, we give some examples and advice on how we manage these fears. We also talk about getting back into climbing after a period of rest and the struggles that surround it.  Check out our blog: on-the-doorstep.com  Follow us at @on.the.doorstep  Send us a Question

We refresh on our last episode, our introductions and how we got into blogging. We talk about finding the importance of getting outdoors at the weekends and how others can do the same, on their own doorsteps.

We foray into our first podcast to discuss how we, two British women, got into outdoor sports and all of the joys they have to offer. From scruffy childhoods, to wannabe teenagers, to the angsty 20s feeling the fear of joining groups, we talk through our journeys and discuss some of the best ways for others wanting to explore similar sports.
