Ep. 66- The Healing Properties of Nature and So Much More with Sue Allison Dean, The Nature Nurse

Today’s Divine Download’s podcast guest, Registered Nurse Sue Allison Dean will have you excited to get out in nature and also consider how nature can help support you during this time of chaos and uncertainty. Sue shares that, The Nature Nurse came about from a meditation. "Meditation became like a seat belt, I felt unsafe if I didn’t meditate". She did not know what it would be but she knew she had to pursue it. "Once you create it, it takes a life of it’s own". Sue took a hard pivot in her nursing career to prioritize her family and grieve major loss in her life. This opportunity allowed her to spend time pursuing gardening that opened up copious amounts of healing and the download to create The Nature Nurse.  The Nature Nurse is all about Blending the Art of Caring With The Healing Power of Nature to Promote Wellness. The sky is the limit on what you can do and become as a nurse entrepreneur.  This episode itself is healing and chock full of how sacred and healing being in nature is for the mind, body, and spirit and how it literally is like salve in helping process grief. One of my favorite takeaways from the show is Sue’s download she received in a meditation: “The battle is not to survive, the battle is to live in this moment with joy”. Even in times of great loss and grief, we can seek joy in this moment. Grab your earbuds and your favorite spot in nature and tune in to the magic of today’s conversation.
