In this episode, I have on the show Angela Hanscom, occupational therapist and founder of Timbernook, an award-winning nature-based program that is implemented in countries across the world. Angela started Timbernook in response to the lack of outdoor education and play opportunities for kids, bringing a refreshing perspective to the importance of unstructured play. We touch on the hands-off approach to safety, allowing children to explore freely rather than being closely monitored. Our conversation highlights how reducing pressure on kids when engaging in outdoor activities can significantly enhance their willingness to participate and connect with nature.

We also discuss how to encourage schools to adopt these ideals, focusing on the need for greater education about the benefits of outdoor play. Angela’s insights reveal the transformative impact of getting kids outdoors, increasing not only their sensory development and motor skills but also deeper connections to themselves and their environment. This episode contains a handful of ideas for parents and educators looking to enrich children's experiences in nature and beyond.

In this episode, I have my favorite person in the world, my wife Hailey Jeklinski, on the show. I was finally able to get her to come talk to me in front of a microphone and share a bit about her health journey and some of the things that have happened in our 14 years together. We touch on her journey navigating a Lupus diagnosis early in life, her experience enduring a medication-induced psychotic state for over a month, and how these experiences influence our approach to raising our child and living our life. We laugh, we (almost) cry, and we finally share with the podcast world a bit about who we really are!

Water, deemed essential for life by all ancient traditions, is undeniably central to our existence. While the importance of water for our survival is indisputable, it appears that more 'advanced' societies often overlook this significance, taking water for granted and failing to fully appreciate its benefits.

"Blue Mind" is a term coined by Dr. Wallace J. Nichols that refers to the meditative state characterized by calm, peacefulness, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction that people often experience when in or near water. In this episode, my guest, New York Times best-selling author of “Blue Mind” Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, explains the positive effects water has on our well-being. As a marine biologist and father, Dr. Nichols explores how water activities benefit children. He emphasizes the importance of incorporating water-related experiences into parenting, and how by doing so, parents can promote their children's physical, emotional, and cognitive development while instilling a lifelong connection with nature. This episode highlights the profound impact water has on happiness, health, and family bonding.
