On today's episode of the podcast I talk about the lake, the bees, and the chickens.

Essentially it's a bit of storytelling about rewilding, how I've overcome some major fears of deep water and I now feel comfortable

swimming way out into the dark lake. I share how I've gone from not knowing a single

thing about bees to having our very first honey harvest and how this is the week that we are introducing chickens to the land.

Essentially this episode is a conversation about returning to nature

and how we can all find our own way of doing exactly that.

Let's jump in. Hi friend, hi, welcome. It's time for a brand new episode of your all-time favorite

podcast from the heart with yours truly Rachel Brayton. Hi, hello, how are we doing? I just came from a swim and not like a dip. You know, I love my lake and I dip in the lake every day. I have

changed my daily routine or no I have allowed my daily routine to evolve and I now swim swim

and it's been kind of a and I'm now swim,

and it's been kind of an, yeah, it's been like an interesting little thing

that I'm doing because I'm actually a little bit afraid of water.

I don't know if I've ever admitted to that here on the show. I love water, love the ocean, love the lake.

Absolutely obsessed with living on the lake and dipping and swimming in the lake and cold

plunging and all the things. But when it comes to actually swimming out into the

middle of the lake or like swimming way out at sea, I get nervous.

If we're by the ocean, I get nervous because of the waves.

I don't fully trust the sea.

There's something so like uncontrollable about the ocean. I feel I don't fully

trust myself in the ocean if the waves are big. I'm not one of those natural just water people like Dennis like Dennis has just you know he grew up by the sea

It spent his whole entire life by the sea and

Moving his body in different ways in connection to the ocean, so surfing and swimming and all the things.
