A very poorly recorded walking podcast from Stoke Newington to Hackney Wick. Not much happens but there's some rumination, we encounter much weather, enjoy learning about bouncy marshes supporting the manufacture of Lancasters and I stumble across 'ackney 'enge before making it home safely!

Let's Walk from Stoke Newington to Hackney Wick

Join me for a relaxing stroll along London's Capital Ring Route where we will walk along the Greenway from Hackney Wick to Beckton District Park. 

Some ambient AMSR birdsong moments happen halfway through, alongside ruminations on death, mind controlling beetles and two magpies entice some magical joy!

A proper Girls on Tour chat with The Midlife Revolution Specialist Nina! 

So proud to say that she is a dear old friend of mine who also happens to be a master of transformation. She's learned a bunch of life lessons and uses these to help other people whether that be transitioning out of a painful place, transitioning into a better place, or both!

It's great to return to some international travel adventures too as we discuss Nina heading into the Canadian wilderness in winter with her two gorgeous pups in tow as well as starting a new life in a country where she didn't speak the language and didn't know anyone!

After some fun questions including a contractual obligation to refer to Moomins, Nina tells us some of the pearls of wisdom she has picked up on the way and shares her favourite mentors too.
