Disaster Style Parenting - Zoe Hart","description":"<p><strong><em>We speak to Patagonia ambassador and mountain guide Zoe Hart about being a beginner skateboarder and snowboarder and her attitude to parenting &amp; adventure.</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>Patagonia ambassador, international mountain guide, and now, at 47, beginner skateboarder and snowboarder.<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/alpineprincess/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Zoe Hart</a> is a phenomenally interesting balance of someone that takes risks that most of us would baulk at, but also voices the fears we all have in our heads as she takes on new sports in midlife and the very real anxiety that comes with being an adult beginner.</p><p><br></p><p>I met Zoe at Kendal Mountain Festival, listening to a Yeti hosted panel that she featured on, she spoke about the balance of being someone who has always chased adventure and risk, and then has to find a way to make that work as a parent. Zoe’s take on it?<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39wjNj5F5_c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> ‘Disaster Style Parenting’</a> as evidenced by the intriguing documentary series she produced on behalf of Patagonia about her own family and how they are navigating living in the outdoors lifestyle that their base in Chamonix affords them.</p><p><br></p><p>But what really intrigued me was hearing about Zoe’s journey into skateboarding in her mid 40’s, and more recently starting snowboarding. Her comfort zone is the mountains, but it doesn’t make starting something new any easier. The fears she voices about learning as an adult are similar to those that any of us feel, even though she is a world renowned climber.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>We cover:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Zoe’s journey into living and working in the mountains</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>How she became a Patagonia ambassador</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Balancing parenting &amp; adventure</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Women’s community and beginner skateboarding</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Learning to be kind to yourself</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Navigating ageing and feeling good about yourself</li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Presenter: Caroline Keylock&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Producer: Selma Chalabi </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Caroline Keylock"}
