Description

This week on the podcast, I sat down with Laura Boulay, founder of One Million Women Walking, to explore:


1. How walking became her sanctuary through divorce, mold illness, and isolation

2. Why walking is mental health medicine (and how the science backs it up)

3. The healing power of nature + movement for the midlife nervous system

4. And what happens when women reclaim their rhythm—one step at a time

Plus: In our Gadgets, Gimmicks & Gotchas segment, I get real about smartwatches and step counters: Are they helpful—or hype?

Tune in, take a walk, and download our free Start Walking Toolkit—it’s full of practical tips, soulful prompts, and the gentle push you didn’t know you needed.
