The Healing Power of Nature
Manage episode 361053535 series 2927249
If you've ever been outside after a bad day and felt better by virtue of just where you found yourself, then you have experienced the healing power of nature. Join Nicole and I as we talk about all things nature in this episode as Nicole shares what she learned about how much of a positive impact nature can have on our overall wellbeing. As we are in and around the time of Earth Day, we thought it was a fitting topic to consider what we can do to let the earth heal us, as we give pause to think about how we might take that new found "aaaahhhh" and return the favour:)
