In episode 11 we had the privilege of sitting down with Community Marketing and Impact Manager for Patagonia Vanessa Rueber. Vanessa shares with us her experience growing up in Canada, how she came to the Swiss Alps and why we must fight for the spaces we love. Vanessa is passionate about the outdoors and sits on the Board of Directors for Protect our Winters Switzerland. In this episode, we talk about our love of nature and the importance of voting to preserve our most sacred outdoor spaces. If you ever wondered what it’s like to live in the Alps or work for an iconic company such as Patagonia, you won‘t want to miss this episode.

On this podcast, we typically feature a guest to share with us how they have created a viable solution to an environmental problem, but this piece is a bit different.

I‘ve been meaning to share this story with you, to once again, demonstrate just how impactful and powerful the natural world truly is.

In this episode, I share the story of my dear friend Anne, to remind us how nature heals, forges powerful bonds, and ultimately calls us home.
