Listen Later

Today's guest is Nailah Blades Wylie - here is some more about her.

Nailah Blades Wiley is a Life & Leadership Coach who helps leaders tap into their power and build lives that are whole, good, and full of possibility. Through high touch coaching that integrates the outdoors, she teaches her clients how to go from feeling invisible to imitable in every area of their lives.

She is also the author of Joyful By Nature - Embracing Outdoor Adventure as Women of Color. Created for the modern woman of color, Joyful by Nature is your guide to reconnecting with nature and reclaiming your place in the outdoor community.

Nailah and I discussed:

  • Connecting with nature as a way of connecting to ourselves 
  • How she looked at a move from California to Utah for her family as an opportunity to get outdoors and embrace getting into nature
  • How she spends time outdoors during the year 
  • The links between movement, nature and creativity
  • Her own creative process with writing the book - and how getting outdoors contributed to that
  • How her writing practice has looked over the years 
  • The fears around repetition as a creative and different ways to think about it.

    • And she gives us many reasons to grab her book so that you too can build well-being into your life by getting outdoors!
