What if the healing you've been searching for isn't in another app, book, or wellness trend? What if it's literally growing all around you?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Andrea Jaramillo - a public health nurse, certified forest therapy guide, grief and ceremony holder, and founder of Forest Nurse - to explore forest bathing as medicine for our modern burnout.

Originally from Ecuador, Andrea has spent her nursing career walking with people through life's biggest moments, from birth to death. Through this work, she discovered that nature isn't just nice to have - it's medicine we all need.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why slowing down is a radical act in our culture
• How to introduce yourself to new land like meeting a friend

• Why your anxiety and burnout aren't personal failures but collective symptoms
• Practical ways to begin forest bathing in your own backyard and how to turn your morning coffee into sacred ritual

• How we heal collectively, not individually
