What happens when we play outside? We become healthier - both mentally and physically. We become more creative and more focused. We connect - with nature, each other, and ourselves. Let’s Take This Outside: a new podcast hosted by me - Mary Anne Ivison - an aspiring outdoor athlete and nature lover. I speak to athletes, outdoor professionals, and scientists about their connection to nature, how it affects their performance, and everyday life.We take the Summer off to play outside but we will be back with another episode September 1st, featuring Julia Weber.
