MY 'BITES OF NATURE' PODCAST WITH ZENB

You asked, we delivered! I’m so pleased to announce the launch of my latest podcast, Bites of Nature, created in partnership with plant-based veggie snack brand ZENB. The podcast was created based on research (conducted by ZENB) which shows that 83% of people believe nature is the way to relieve stress in five minutes, more so than a massage or bubble bath. Connection to nature is something that I believe in wholeheartedly so I was thrilled to be able to host five guests, all experts in wellbeing, to discuss how they get their nature fix and just why it’s so important. The bite-size podcast episodes each include a spoken meditation I’ve created in line with the natural environment each episode is themed around. Enjoy!

Episode One: Meadows and Mindfulness with AJ Odudu (released 16th November)

Hear AJ Odudu speak about the freedom of running outside, connecting with her wild side by embracing her inner child and why jumping in muddy puddles is good for you.

Episode Two: Chasing Waterfalls with Richie Bostock (released 18th November)

Richie shares the power of breath to reduce stress and anxiety and how the natural world helps this too. The episode ends with Richie leading a breathwork session to whisk listeners away to a world of waterfalls and experience the power of a few deep breaths first-hand.
