Let's Take This Outside
What happens when we play outside?
- We become healthier - both mentally and physically.
- We become more creative and more focused.
- We connect - with nature, each other, and ourselves.
Let’s Take This Outside: a new podcast hosted by me - Mary Anne Ivison - an aspiring outdoor athlete and nature lover. I speak to athletes, outdoor professionals, and scientists about their connection to nature, how it affects their performance, and everyday life.
