TBL Podcast Season 11 Episode 5 - Holly Parsons Finding Healing and Purpose Through Albatrosses


Listen Later

In this special episode, recorded onboard the Flock to Marion Cruise, I have the privilege of speaking with Holly Parsons.

Holly is the passionate founder of the Albatross Lovers Facebook group, an artist, and a conservationist whose life took an extraordinary turn after two traumatic brain injuries. Through a deep connection with albatrosses, she found healing, purpose, and a mission to raise awareness for these majestic seabirds.

We talk about her journey from international relations to birding, how art became a form of therapy, and why she’s committed to supporting vital conservation efforts like the Mouse-Free Marion Project. This is an episode that will inspire you, challenge you, and remind you of the power of birds to transform lives.

If you love this episode, be sure to check out the show notes for links to Holly’s work and how you can support BirdLife South Africa in their mission to protect our incredible seabirds.
