The Nature Connection: Finding Peace and Perspective
This city girl is deeply connected to nature. Mindful walks in nature are a core way to add richness and “right thinking” to your life. In this episode, I talk about an early, profoundly moving natural experience that shaped my deep love of the ocean. This life-changing event would connect me to the ocean for the rest of my life.

Welcome to my reflections from the bright side of the beat.
