Joining me in this episode is wellness advocate and wilderness guide Sydney Williams. Sydney beckons to all those burdened with unspoken trauma, offering the wilderness as both metaphor and remedy for the soul in her new book, Hiking Your Feelings: Blazing a Trail to Self-Love.
This transformational book reveals how we can turn our pain into power. It's part inspirational memoir, part practical guide, Hiking Your Feelings offers a toolkit for unpacking your “trauma pack” the best version of yourself.
I love this episode so much, and I enjoyed reading Sydney's book. I hope you do, too.
