What happens to our nervous system when we step off the pavement and into the woods? In this episode, we sit down with Rocky Nation, a professor at Brevard College, to explore the Ecology of Resilience. We dive into the functional science behind Forest Bathing, the difference between a casual walk and intentional ecotherapy, and why the subclinical space (the middle ground between wellness and a medical diagnosis) is the frontier where true life transitions happen. Whether you are navigating an identity shift or living in a concrete jungle, Rocky provides a framework for using nature as a mirror for meaning and a tool for physiological recovery.
