Following awe and wonder in our lives with Meg Hooper

from Work Life by Design · host Mel Marsden

When was the last time you let yourself be swept away by the sheer beauty of the world around you? Maybe it's the sun sinking into a golden horizon or the way light dances through trees. These moments remind us of the profound joy that's available — if we pause long enough to notice. In this special conversation, Dr. Meg Hooper and I explore the concept of awe, inspired by Julia Baird's remarkable book Phosphorescence — a guide to finding light and wonder even in life's darkest times. In this episode, we explore: 🌿 How reconnecting with nature can heal and ground us 🌿 The powerful impact of designing greener cities and communities 🌿 How to nurture your own internal light through small, meaningful practices 🌿 Why wonder and awe are essential acts of self-care This conversation is an invitation to seek out the extraordinary hiding in the everyday — and to rediscover the vibrant, luminous energy within yourself.     BOOK MENTIONED: Phosphorescence     Connect with Meg Website |
