This week, Ginny sits down with mindfulness teacher and author Melanie Pensak to explore how reconnecting with nature can transform our emotional well-being and our sustainability journey. Melanie shares wisdom and insights from her new book Love for the Land, including simple month-long practices that help us slow down, ground ourselves, and rediscover awe in the natural world around us.

Together, we explore how reconnecting with nature supports our emotional well-being, our sense of belonging, and even the way we approach sustainability in our daily lives. Melanie walks us through simple practices — like sensory check-ins, mindful walking, and tuning into the cycles of the seasons — that invite us to deepen our relationship with the land in a way that feels nourishing rather than overwhelming.

If you’ve been craving some spaciousness, or if you want to bring more presence, intention, and ease into your sustainability journey, this episode will feel like a quiet exhale. Melanie’s perspective is a reminder that healing ourselves and healing our planet aren’t separate paths — they’re intertwined, and available to all of us.✨ Connect with Melanie: ⁠MelaniePensak.com | ⁠Instagram⁠ 📖 Grab a copy of her new book: Love for the Land
