#164 Breaking Waves: How Wild Swimming & Storytelling Became Tools for Healing

from Happy Hormones Podcast · host Nicki Williams

We’re all aware of the physical benefits of being in and around water, especially cold water (I write about it in my book Life After Menopause). But in today’s interview, we explore its profound impact on emotional wellbeing too.After experiencing immense pain and deep grief, Emma Simpson found herself feeling lost, disconnected, and adrift. Drawn instinctively to the water, she discovered more than just a cold embrace—she found strength, hope, and a powerful sense of connection. Through wild swimming, she not only reclaimed her own sense of purpose but also became part of a remarkable sisterhood of women, each with their own inspiring story to share.She went on to write her first book, Breaking Waves —a heartfelt celebration of community, renewal, and the transformative power of reclaiming your own life story through writing.You can order Emma's book here; https://amzn.eu/d/dl8xt6tIf you need help with your hormones or health, do contact us here; https://happyhormonesforlife.com/contact
