Something Blue: Love Letters To The Ocean
Something Blue: Love Letters To The Ocean
Podcast Description
Where do you imagine when I ask you to think of something blue? Maybe it's an ocean, a river or a lake, maybe it's the feeling you get when you take a sip of water, or the calmness in your mind as you sit at the water's edge. Water is there for every chapter of our lives, and in this podcast, we'll be discovering the untold stories of our love affair with water. I'll be inviting guests to share their something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, as we dive into the realm of all things water and take a moment to appreciate the truly wonderful nature of blue spaces. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Jane Woods, emotional well-being coach/facilitator and appreciative inquiry practitioner with a deep personal connection to the sea. Based in Purbeck on the beautiful South Coast of the UK, Jane works in partnership with blue space to empower healthcare professionals, the outdoor industry and those living with ADHD or cancer to ride the waves of life.
“For me, it’s about making a difference, adding value, constant learning, staying curious, acting out of love and not fear and having the courage to be true to ourselves”.
