🎙️✨ A little something I’ve been excited to share…✨🌿

Today, May 1, kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month and it feels especially fitting to share this today.

This past winter, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Kate from *A Dose of Health* (Healthy in the Garden State), where we talked all about **Walk & Talk Therapy** 🌿🥾

In this short episode, we dive into:
✨ What outdoor therapy looks like
🌿 How nature supports mental health
👟 Why stepping outside can feel different than traditional sessions

It was such a meaningful conversation and a chance to share more about the work I’m so passionate about.

🤍 A big thank you to Kate for the opportunity and for creating space to have these important conversations.

🎧 I’ll drop the link below—take a listen when you have a few minutes!
