How community, self-care and nature strengthen who we are

Have you ever noticed that when you bring a mix of community, self-care and nature into your life you strengthen you inner self?  That you can do more of what you want to do?This week I have a conversation with Sami Aaron, founder of the Resilient Activist organisation.  Sami founded the organisation after her official retirement at 65 while having a deep knowing this was something she had to do and to overcome the 'who am I to do this?'; to create an organisation focusing on mental health and resilience with no experience at her age.  We talk about how she pushed the doubts aside, was motivated by her own grief and brought together a group of people with varied skills to create the organisation.Sami shares the importance of being in nature along with community and self-care to increase your resilience, be with yourself and change the way you think and what you do. We talk about the challenge of practicing what you preach and how she now schedules in time for her, and makes it OK to do that while feeling the tension to be doing more.You can find out more about Sami and the Resilient Activist and what it offers at https://theresilientactivist.org/ Thank you for listening and taking the time to explore our podcast.Earthaconter: Connection, Exploration and Expansionwww.earthaconter.org
