Abby Shepard has made it her mission to connect people with the outdoors through her work with Delaware State Parks, but also through her own personal pursuits as a writer, photographer, and traveler. When she was 19, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory autoimmune disorder, but she has learned to focus on the cans instead of the cannots while spreading a very contagious enthusiasm.

In this episode, I chat with Abby about her passion for sharing the outdoors with others, how she balances life and health, her insights into navigating some of the obstacles that come with chronic conditions, and, of course, her love for horseshoe crabs.
