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.
