Ashley Manning: Plus-size Outdoor Professional & Adventurer | The Hiker Podcast S2E16

This week I'm excited to bring you a conversation I had with Plus-size outdoor professional and adventurer Ashley Manning. We have an amazing conversation talking about our experiences as plus-sized outdoors people regarding social media, stigmas, gear, how other hikers like Jenny Bruso of Unlikely Hikers have encouraged us, and how much we appreciate companies like Columbia that make clothes for plus sized adventurers! Thank you so much Ashley for coming on the show and having this conversation with me. This was one of my favorite thus far and I am so excited to share it with you all! Ash Manning is a plus-size hiker and river runner from North Georgia. Her mission is to encourage others to break the stigma around fat bodies and get into the outdoors responsibly and safely. Through humor and entertainment, Ash aims to bring knowledge to aspiring plus-size outdoors folk.  ***Some language used in this episode may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** Follow Ashley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleysadventure/ Follow Ashley on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleysadventure Thumbnail photo by Tommy Corey : www.instagram.com/@twerkinthedirt Follow Host Andy Neal on Instagram: www.instagram.com/andyfilmsandhikes  Email Andy [email protected] Go to www.hikerpodcast.com for all our social media accounts, email, and all the ways to listen to The Hiker Podcast!
