Summary

Some of life's biggest questions are answered one step at a time. In this conversation, Deborah Gregory shares why walking has long been connected to discernment and why getting outside can help us notice what we've been missing. We talk about fascinating research on forest bathing, breathing, creativity, the horizon, and the surprising ways our bodies help us process life's biggest decisions. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next, this episode is a beautiful reminder that clarity often comes while we're already moving.
