“I might not be able to climb mountains, but I can still appreciate them ... whether I’m camping, sitting quietly by a river, or watching a squirrel just run around in the trees. ”
Think of this episode as a pre-season treat.
The theme of our upcoming season is “Things I Thought I Knew,” and before it starts, we wanted to let Out There community members weigh in on how nature has shifted their perspectives.
We reached out to listeners and fellow podcasters, and we asked: “What is one way your relationship with nature has changed in a way that has surprised you?”
The answers we received were thought-provoking, inspiring, and hopeful, and on this episode, we’re sharing some of our favorites.
