Reconnect With Nature & Purpose: The Enlightened Bottom Line with Jenna Nicholas
What if your relationship with nature could reshape not only your wellbeing—but how you lead, invest, and make decisions? In this episode of Wild by Nature, Dr. Vian Sharif sits down with Jenna Nicholas to explore a powerful idea: nature is not separate from us—it's a teacher, a guide, and a partner in how we live and build. Jenna shares a simple but profound shift: seeing nature as a friend. From the intelligence of mycelium networks to the quiet communication of trees, this conversation reframes nature as something we can learn from—if we slow down enough to listen. Drawing from her book, The Enlightened Bottom Line, Jenna explains how aligning purpose, people, and planet can lead to more sustainable, resilient, and meaningful outcomes. Together, they explore how lessons from nature can help us make better decisions, become more effective leaders, and reconnect with what matters most. KEY TOPICS • Nature as a teacher: Moving from extraction to relationship • Stillness as strategy: Why slowing down can lead to greater insight • Interconnection: Lessons from forests on collaboration and resilience • The Enlightened Bottom Line: Aligning profit with purpose, people, and planet • Listening as leadership: Applying nature's wisdom to business, investing, and everyday life ABOUT JENNA NICHOLAS Jenna Nicholas is an impact investor, entrepreneur, and author of The Enlightened Bottom Line.
