🌿 From Burnout to Balance: How Nature Can Transform Leadership 🌿
In this episode of “Expand Your Frame”, I am chatting with Monique Ross, a nature and forest therapy guide, about her inspiring journey from corporate burnout to finding purpose and renewal in the great outdoors.
Monique shared how she pivoted from the fast-paced world of journalism into forest therapy after a personal reckoning during the pandemic. Her work now focuses on helping leaders slow down, reconnect with their authentic selves, and find clarity through nature.
Here are a few highlights from our conversation:
✨ The power of "sauntering" over "striving" and what slowing down can reveal.
✨ How nature invites us to be fully present and accepted as we are.
✨ Insights on guiding busy C-suite executives to disconnect from stress and reconnect with themselves.
✨ The leadership lesson Monique holds close: Trusting that who you are is enough.
Monique's perspective on nature as a mirror for self-discovery resonated deeply. Her guidance and gentle prompts during forest therapy allow individuals to experience profound personal growth.
If you're curious about forest therapy or looking for fresh ideas on how nature can enhance your leadership journey, this episode is a must-listen.
Let’s continue the conversation: How do you slow down and reconnect with yourself? 🌿
