The Lisa Show is hard at work creating our Caregiving season. In the meantime, while we put the last finishing touches on episode 1, if you're looking for something to listen to today, Lisa recommends an episode of our sister podcast, Constant Wonder. In season 4, episode 7 of Constant Wonder there's an episode called "Fear and Wonder in the Natural World", with a naturalist who seeks out experiences like sitting in the dark with a moose, walking barefoot in a prehistoric Celtic tomb, and adopting a starling--all these encounters with nature that are sometimes as scary as they are inspiring. The episode challenges you to think creatively about nature and transform your relationship with fear. You can find it wherever you get podcasts.
