Melanie Huestis helps women rediscover their true selves and shine that light into the world through a combination of trauma healing, spiritual connection, and radical self-acceptance. She believes that we ARE nature. Part of why so many of us feel lost these days is because of our disconnection from our natural impulses, instincts, and rhythms. Melanie helps women remember their true nature and learn to trust it (and themselves) again.

In this episode Melanie and I chat about life themes through the seasons, organic evolutions of business and feeling lost from our disconnection

with nature.

Nic Allison, also known as Nic the Birding Chick, got into birding during the pandemic because her partner has been a birder his whole life and it's like being with a guide each time. As she was outside more she started feeling better mentally and then her ADHD kicked off and she started to wonder "hmm, that bird eats that butterfly, which pollinates that flower which only grows in special soil in this location.." and she just spiraled into the natural world after reaching burnout in academia and as a museum professional and historian (living through historical event almost daily doesn't help either). Nic has been using nature to calm anxiety and repair her nervous system after a lifetime of being in "fight or flight". Mental health is her jam and nature journaling/doodling has saved her. Nic believes that Nature is her church.

In this episode Nic and I chat about the birding vs. birdwatching, nature journaling, celebrating the slow, and merging historian and nature journaling practices.

Aletia Thomas of Art by Aletia is an Equine fine artist, pet portrait artist and interior design coach with an online course. It is important for her to spend as much time away from the canvas in nature as it is painting. Horses are part of nature and can be a vital link to nature for equestrians and animal lovers.
Aletia also believes having nature reflected in our homes is important for our wellbeing.

In this episode Aletia and I chat about the teachings of horses as inspiration for her art, pet portraits, interior design to bring nature indoors, and the science behind the ways nature helps mental health.
