Celebrating spirited women who embrace life with Mother Nature. These women inspire us through their stories of adventure, personal growth, and connection to something greater than themselves.
Nature becomes the perfect backdrop for compelling, yet light hearted conversations where we wrestle with some of life’s big sticking points such as when and how to open up the doors to being brave and authentic, compassionate and curious.
These themes bubble to the surface when we explore a variety of access points into the natural realm. Whether by pushing physical and mental limits, creative art making, exploring healing and wellbeing, pursuing business endeavours, understanding ecology or unpacking spirituality.

Lou Davies chose a profession which is rooted in the concept of helping others. As an Occupational Therapist working in the mental healthcare space, she is on a mission to help women become the best versions of themselves. Paradoxically, the many years of supporting others and the stress from working in a broken system, ensued that her own mental health started to waiver. However, she recognised the warning signs and made a bold move to leave her ‘successful’ career, and took a sabbatical from professional work-life to travel the world in a van, embarking on some serious self-reflection.
After spending this quality time in the wilderness, she came back with a new perspective. One which marries her vast experience as a mental healthcare clinician, with the power of nature. As a progressive, big-picture thinker and someone with a budding entrepreneurial spirit, her new business was created to help people on their road to recovery in a more effective and approachable way.
Lou is also one who treads lightly, and throughout our chat we hear her insightful and somewhat hilarious tips and tricks on travelling with sustainability in mind. Her van life adventure was one of awe and wonder, and as she unpacks the journey for us, we are left with a sense of confidence to go out and embark on our own dreams of exploration.
You're going to love getting to know Lou. This episode is full of laughs, insight and raw emotion.
