Episode 160: Stress and the Benefits of Being Outside (re-release)
/“The time that women spend outside as girls having adventures and doing sports outside, the more confidence they have as adults. ”
When I first made this show in 2017 I could never have imagined how much more relevant the concept of getting outside to reduce stress would be three years later.
In this show I talk to science writer Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix, about how spending time outside can help lower our stress levels and allow us to gain perspective on daily problems. Most of us live and work in urban environments, spending hours a day in front of a screen. Nothing could be less natural. In this show we talk about how spending time outdoors can improve our lives in multiple ways, and how women can benefit even more than men.
