In this episode (as I pace around), I’ll be talking about the benefits of walking (and pacing) to our cognition and mood.

For years now I’ve been bouncing between fiction and non-fiction. Here and there, I’d stumble across gems that change the way that I perceive myself, my journey and the world.

If you're wondering about the audio, that's because I'm in a car. 🚗
