Hello Everyone! Thank you so much for your patience while I took a break from the podcast to apply to grad school. I am now in the waiting game to see what schools I will get into so the podcast is back! It took me a little while to get my inspiration for the podcast back, but I went on a backpacking trip with work a couple of weeks ago and now my inspiration is back. Today's episode talks all about the trip and how easy it can be to connect to nature. I hope you all enjoy it!

Happy Monday! This week's episode is another is the Our Planet Series. For this one, I watched episode 4 of Our Planet about Coastal Seas. I absolutely loved watching this episode because it was all about the oceans and how we are impacting them, which you know is my jam! Give it a listen and go watch Our Planet on Netflix!

I looked it up! The difference between fur seals and sea lions. I was almost right in the episode, Fur Seals have a shorter snout and slightly larger ear flaps.

Happy Monday! Welcome back to my mythology series on the podcast. Today I look into conservation and climate change in Norse Mythology. This one is a bit different than the Greek Mythology episode; instead of focusing on one god or goddess, we are looking at the Ragnarok myth and its connection to what will happen with climate change if we don't make a change. The Norse were intimately connected with the world around them and it shows in their myths. Enjoy!

Happy World Oceans Day!! This Thursday (June 8th) is World Oceans Day when we take special care to show the oceans a little love. Similar to Earth Day we should always be showing the oceans our love but on this day we get to be more intentional about it. For World Oceans Day this year, I collected love letters to the ocean from some amazing people who all love the ocean very much!
