"The outdoors is not just a place—it’s a mindset. Every step into nature is a step towards clarity, resilience, and rediscovering what truly matters."
In this episode, Julia Hartley introduces us to Guided Outdoor Adventures, a booking platform that connects guides with clients, making outdoor adventures more accessible and helping people find the right expertise to explore safely and confidently.
Joined by guest host David Germain, CEO of the Anderton Centre, Chorley, we discuss the mental health benefits of outdoor experiences to the power of shared adventure and how activities like hiking and wild swimming help people step out of their comfort zones and rediscover their inner strength.
