I’m sharing something a little different with you today, to close out COVID Dumpster Fire Year version 2.0......
Back in November I had the awesome opportunity to be on the other side of the mic as a guest on the Lessons from The MAP podcast, hosted by Jamie Blackburn.
Jamie is a somatic wellness educator whose mission is to help people decrease their anxiety and chronic stress by teaching them tricks to create a more Mindful, Active, and Present (MAP) life- that’s where the M-A-P comes from, Mindful, Active and Present.
I met Jamie through a podcaster Facebook group I’m part of (that was created by none other than Emily Holland, my guest on GGW back in May of this year). On her podcast, Lessons from the MAP, Jamie interviews female outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers about how adventures in the natural world have shaped their inner landscape - so of course I was honored to participate and share a little bit of the origin story of Guides Gone Wild!
A quick note before we dive into this conversation - you’ll hear us talking about the Guides Gone Wild Giving and Gifting guides - and guess what, even though the holiday season is winding down, there’s still PLENTY of time to make some year-end donations to a few more worthy causes! Or better yet, find a few organizations to support on an ongoing basis in 2022 - every little bit makes a difference, so whatever your giving goals are, I hope you’ll head to GuidesGoneWild.com/Giving to learn about the causes that are closest to our guests' hearts.
Also be sure to check out Jamie Blackburn’s work at InnerMapProject.com - you can listen to all of the episodes of her podcast and check out the wellness programs and resources she has available there.
Listen in as I take the hot seat and talk about finding new purpose and inspiration through conversation.
And while you're at it, let's raise a glass (bubbly, sparkly, kombucha, whatever) to 2022 - may this coming year create opportunities for all of us to forget, for a minute, what the potential viral load exposure of every freaking activity might be, so that we can grab a few friends and try something new - in community!
