This week’s episode is with Dr Catherine Kelly. Dr Catherine Kelly is an academic, Brighton wellbeing practitioner & mother. She is the author of Blue Spaces: How and Why Water Can Make You Feel Better.

Kate and Catherine talk about:

• How she found the water through grief and how her life has been impacted by water. • The differences between green nature and blue space and how it helps our wellbeing. • The need for humans to be close to the water, the mindfulness of cold water swimming and the stimulation of the vagus nerve through coldwater swimming • How cold water can help with a lot of different health issues including depression, anxiety, low mood, menopause, hormones and energy • The power of breathwork, meditation and gratitude and how they can help ADHD • The Japanese phrase 'living water', which is the naturally calming and healing powers of water.
