S3E07. How to Run Wild : Trail Running Transforms Fitness, Courage, and Your Connection to Nature27 Jan 20251 h 04 min

<p>Hi friends!</p>

<p>This week I am delving into all things nature &amp; trail running! In this episode I tell you everything you need to know about trail running, from gear to logistics to building bravery. I touch on the relationship between culture and nature, and dig into studies surrounding the importance of women embracing the outdoors in all it&#39;s messy, gritty, awesome power. We also chat about nature as trauma therapy, the discovery of EMDR, how it has helped me, and what being in nature does to our brain, bodies, and fitness (spoiler: it&#39;s all great)! I adored researching, writing and delivering this episode... Nature saved my live, and i&#39;m so passionate about showing you how it could change yours too!</p>

<p>With love, </p>
