Episode 03: My Story
In this episode, I get personal. I share with you how I came to understand the deep connection between environmental sustainability and personal wellbeing and went from a little girl who loved the outdoors to a sustainability professional and someone who has a deep understanding of personal wellness. I share a timeline of my growing interest in the environment, my academic background in the Sciences, teaching at the University of Manitoba, advising the government on integrating sustainability into policies and laws.
But just when I thought I had a firm grasp on my life and career, I was diagnosed with a serious illness, one which led to the development of deep friendships and unexpected experiences and that I ultimately found to be a journey of personal growth. What I learned in the process is not only our strong connection to other human beings but also our relationship with nature and how we are all part of the whole. Be sure to join me as I take you through the story that shaped my passion for sustainability and personal well-being!
