About this listen

Welcome back to Choosing Resilience Over Surrender, the podcast where we explore inspiring stories and insights to help us overcome challenges and find strength in difficult situations. I'm your host, Charlene Gimlin, and today we're diving into the theme of smoky air.

The air quality in Boise, Idaho, has been hazardous due to wildfires in the region. We discuss the short and long-term effects of smoke exposure on the body and mind, based on insights from experts like Dr. Jamie Derrick and Edward Avol. Learn how smoky air impacts our mood, sleep, and overall health, and discover practical ways to maintain resilience during these challenging times.

We'll explore activities to do indoors, from creative endeavors to physical exercises, and how to improve indoor air quality with plants and air purifiers. Additionally, we'll talk about maintaining social connections and mental health through mindfulness practices and good sleep habits.

Tune in for tips and strategies to help you stay resilient and healthy, even when the air outside isn't. Remember to subscribe on Podbean and Spotify and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more updates.

Thank you for tuning in today, and we'll see you next time!
