This is one of the top 5 most downloaded episodes from last year —because it’s just that powerful and just that good! In this heartfelt conversation, host Rita Mercer, your wellness coach, licensed counselor, and virtual friend, guides you through the healing and restorative benefits of nature therapy.

If you’ve been feeling stressed, anxious, disconnected, or feeling stuck creatively, this episode is your gentle reminder to slow down, step outside, and reconnect with the natural world. Rita explores:

• What nature therapy is and the different forms it can take (forest bathing, grounding, eco-therapy, and more)
• The deficits we face when we don’t spend enough time in nature—like increased stress, emotional instability, and reduced creativity
• The physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of engaging with nature mindfully
• Simple cues that signal you might need a nature reset
• Practical, beginner-friendly tips to make nature a regular part of your life

Rita also shares the fascinating research behind how much time in nature makes a measurable impact on your well-being—and spoiler: it’s easier to fit into your week than you think.

Whether it’s a barefoot walk in your backyard, quiet reflection by a stream, or a gentle hike in the woods, you’ll learn how to make nature your reset button for mind, body, and spirit.
