39. Looking after the Ocean to Look after the Earth with Rhi Mitchell from Saltwater Sistas

In this episode, I’d love you to meet Rhi Mitchell, a proud Mununjali woman, marine scientist, and founder of Saltwater Sistas, and based in Coffs Harbour along coastal NSW. Rhi combines wellbeing, leadership and science to inspire change and protect our oceans and environment for future generations. In our chat, we talk about how caring for Country starts with understanding our connection to the land and water…and how that connection influences our wellbeing. We’ll also explore the rhythms of nature and how they guide us to treading a little lighter on the planet. A summary, plus the links and photos of the pieces discussed in this episode are found here at Looking after the Ocean to Look after the Earth.
