Lauren Hoernig, licensed psychotherapist, shares her unique path from a childhood in Indiana's forests to becoming an advocate for nature-based therapeutic work in California. We discuss the significance of grief rituals, the importance of connecting with nature for healing, and the value of embracing oneself authentically. Lauren also opens up about her near-death experience and how it shaped her perspective on life and death. Join us for an enlightening conversation that explores the intersection of psychology, nature, and soul work.
