22 | Less Stress, More Dirt: A Realistic Plan for Nature Time With Kids & Why It's Always Worth It (Part 2)
Description
In this down-to-earth and inspiring episode of Intentional Motherhood, host Kelsey Redd continues her nature series with a raw, real look at what it actually takes to get kids outside—and why it’s so worth it. From screaming toddlers to poopy diapers and forgotten wipes, Kelsey shares a hilarious and heartfelt story of a nature outing gone sideways, and how even that became a moment of emotional reset, connection, and growth.
You'll discover:
- Why nature is the ultimate emotional regulation tool for both kids and moms
- The science behind how even 10 minutes outside can reset your nervous system
- Tips for making outdoor time simple, fun, and low-pressure
- How unstructured play in dirt, grass, and rocks rewires your child’s brain for calm, not chaos
- Ideas for starting family nature rituals that build connection
- A sneak peek at Kelsey’s upcoming nature-based retreat for moms this September in the Utah mountains
Whether it’s a barefoot backyard moment or a messy river adventure, this episode will inspire you to ditch perfection, embrace the mud, and find healing in the beauty of the outdoors—even if you’re carrying a baby in one arm and dragging a scooter in the other.
🌿 Nature doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
Let this episode remind you: Mother Nature has your back—even when it’s messy.
