099: Exploring the Benefits of Being Outside: Outdoor Exercise, Hiking Tips, and the Power of Nature with Jessica Bowser

Today we have Jessica Bowser, a former fourth-grade teacher and conservation advocate.

Jessica launched Virginia Outdoor Adventures to provide a platform for Virginians of all backgrounds to share their stories, connect with nature, and foster a sense of community where the outdoors is for everyone. She’s passionate about telling these stories through a conservation lens to inspire others to become stewards of the environment.

We had an amazing conversation about the outdoors, covering topics like:

• The benefits of spending time in nature
• Exercising outside
• Tips for beginner hikers
• The fears women face when hiking solo

I love discussing this topic because I’m passionate about making time to be outdoors—especially after everything I’ve learned through this podcast about the value of time spent in nature.
