S1 E20 - A chat with Kathryn Reynolds on World Mental Health Day

Today, I’m talking to Kathryn Reynolds, whom I first met virtually through a mutual friend when we formed a running group for the RunAroundTheWorld challenge -

As you know, the Nature Spot podcast aims to bring the outside in and help people to connect with nature so that they feel it’s wellbeing benefits and hopefully love it more.

Kathryn is a wonderful example of someone who connects with nature daily (unless the weather is really very unfriendly), and does so in a dynamic way - through cycling. She shares beautiful photos on her Instagram account every day, and she agreed to talk to me about how she connects with nature, what she gets from that, and what keeps her heading outdoors, even as the mornings grow colder and darker.

If you would like to follow Kathryn’s daily adventures - you can check her out on https://www.instagram.com/kathrynjreynolds/

S1 E23 - being happy with where you are

Desperate to head out after an extended spell of rain and grey skies, I ventured out on my bike. Slightly injured- I didn’t make it to the place I set my heart on. So I forced to sit, and take notice ...

S1 E22 - connecting with nature when you don’t want to go outside!
