This episode is about something near and dear to my heart, getting into nature. Nature therapy is one of my most used and powerful tools to heal and to improve my mental health.
Brittany Crane of the company Get out there Girl is my guest. Brittany is a living example of getting outside, seeking and creating adventures and encouraging other women to do the same. She plans regular adventurous retreats for women to get them outside and to gain all the benefits of nature and connection with other women.
We chat about self compassion and how that is a tool we need in our toolbelt to heal and to take the leap to take care of ourselves. It is the most amazing process to give yourself the love and compassion you would give to a dear friend.
There is a growing science that shows that the four hormones which promote wellbeing - endorphin, serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin are boosted during sensory immersion in Nature. Walking 7,500 steps a day is also linked to a longer, healthier life as physical activity releases endorphins.
Brittany has also created a clothing line for active women to wear when they get outside and into nature. It is called Olli adventure. I have a pair of her joggers and they are awesome!
Here is where you can find Brittany and look into her retreats:
