Can nature truly heal burnout in the tech world? Clara Schroeder, eco-therapist and author of "Re-Nature," shares how connecting with the natural world is a powerful antidote to stress and a secret weapon for mental resilience, even for high-achieving leaders.

Clara, who recovered from a traumatic brain injury, reveals the profound scientific basis for nature's impact on our cognitive function and emotional well-being. She shares practical strategies for tech professionals to "re-nature" their lives, redefine resilience beyond burnout, and leverage climate psychology to become better innovators. Learn how to transform your daily routine with simple, evidence-based practices to stay grounded and empowered in a rapidly changing world.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

· Clara's personal journey: from traumatic brain injury to eco-therapist for tech leaders.

· The scientific basis for why nature boosts mental resilience and cognitive function (even fake plants help!).

· How micro-elements of nature in the workspace increase productivity and creativity.

· Redefining resilience: moving from suffering to thriving, not just pushing through.

· A simple, evidence-based visualization practice to "re-nature" and reset focus.

· How leaders can create a team culture that values well-being as much as productivity.

· Clara’s definition of innovation: expanding beyond what's possible to catalyze human potential.

This is an essential conversation for engineers, leaders, and anyone seeking sustainable well-being and a deeper connection to nature in a high-pressure world.
