  • Finding Calm Outdoors: Reconnecting with Nature with David Fong
    Feb 19 2026

    In this episode of the Yorkie Talkies Talk podcast, I’m joined by David Fong, a clinical psychologist who blends psychology, mindfulness, and the outdoors.

    We explore why so many of us feel disconnected, how nature helps regulate the nervous system, and why slowing down outdoors can have such a powerful impact on mental wellbeing. We also talk about mindfulness in a simple, accessible way and share small, realistic ways to reconnect with nature in everyday life.

    A calm, grounding conversation for anyone feeling busy, overwhelmed, or in need of a reset.

  • Breaking Waves & Big Walks: A Conversation with Emma Simpson
    Feb 5 2026

    In this episode of Yorkie Talkies Talk, I sit down with author, wild swimmer, and storyteller Emma Simpson. We chat about her journey into adventure, creativity, and confidence, and how time outdoors — on the hills, in the water, and within community — has played such a big part in her story.

    Emma is the award-winning author of Breaking Waves, a powerful memoir exploring healing, resilience, and the deep connections we form with nature and with each other. This is a warm, honest conversation about taking first steps, saying yes to new experiences, and finding your people along the way.
