Weathering Life's Tornado Moments with Stephanie Arne

It’s Earth Day! I love the Earth. It honestly shocks me that more people aren’t constantly wandering around and in awe of everything they see (THE OCEANS BREATHE! TREES TALK TO EACH OTHER! BUGS SURVIVE WINTER BY PRODUCING THEIR OWN ANTIFREEZE!).Whenever I feel overwhelmed with trying to live life under oppressive man-made systems, I tend to turn on a show about the universe. Knowing that I, as one single human, am SO insignificant in the grand scheme of things usually helps me put my own personal problems into perspective.The same goes with loss. The cycles of nature remind me that losing things is a natural part of life. Without letting go of the old, we’re not able to let it compost and nourish something new. I’m not great at relinquishing control, but I’m getting incrementally better at accepting the fact that I didn’t actually have much of it to begin with.No one understands this better than my guest on today’s podcast - Stephanie Arne. Stephanie is an award-winning conservationist, adventurer, and storyteller who knows firsthand how the lessons of nature can support us in confronting personal grief and loss.In this conversation, Stephanie shares how her grappling with her family history helped her understand more about herself, and how the grief she has experienced in life taught her how to strengthen her resilience and hope for the future.
