Have you ever felt an unshakable connection to a place – like the land itself was calling you home? I know I have.
In this episode, I’m reflecting on the deep, personal ways nature has shaped my sense of belonging.
From the rugged beauty of Cape Perpetua to the breathtaking landscapes of Glacier National Park, I’ll share stories of rediscovery and resilience. But what happens when the people closest to us don’t see these places the same way?
We’ll explore the tension between NeuroTypical and NeuroDiverse perspectives on nature—and how our environments can speak to us in ways that words sometimes can’t.
Join me for a heartfelt conversation about finding home, trusting our instincts, and embracing the places that remind us who we truly are.
