S3E07. How to Run Wild : Trail Running Transforms Fitness, Courage, and Your Connection to Nature
Hi friends!
This week I am delving into all things nature & trail running! In this episode I tell you everything you need to know about trail running, from gear to logistics to building bravery. I touch on the relationship between culture and nature, and dig into studies surrounding the importance of women embracing the outdoors in all it's messy, gritty, awesome power. We also chat about nature as trauma therapy, the discovery of EMDR, how it has helped me, and what being in nature does to our brain, bodies, and fitness (spoiler: it's all great)! I adored researching, writing and delivering this episode... Nature saved my live, and i'm so passionate about showing you how it could change yours too!
With love,
Cass

S3E05. Rewire bingeing & food noise - Letting go of perfectionism
Hi friends! Our audio quality has now been resolved! Thank you for your patience as the studio fixed the issue. This week we are discussing the complex and very nuanced journey of moving past bingeing, food noise and secret eating. I hope this episode can be of comfort to anyone out there struggling with their relationship with food. There is joy and freedom to be found in our friendship with food!
Please note - I am not a dietitian and therefore cannot offer prescriptive advice . I am however, a coach and a human who struggled with BED for 10 years, so I do my best to give anecdotal tips. If you are struggling with any of these issues please speak with your doctor.
Until next week,
with love and strength,
Cass
