It was so amazing to have a chat with the lovely Flora about a range of topics that are close to both our hearts.

We begin the episode by discussing Flora's journey as a runner, specifically addressing her recent achievement in her 5km time trial. We explore; the power of community in cultivating motivation, overcoming ego, the importance of setting attainable goals, and the value of various methods of recovery.

We also speak about what inspired Flora to eat a plant based diet, and the increasing need for education and transparency regarding the damaging effects of the fishing and livestock industries. We address the impacts of system vs. individual change, as well as managing the overwhelming essence of sustainability as a concept.

Finally, as this podcast is centred around mental health, Flora and I talk through her experience with mental health and disordered eating, and how exercise and the natural world have offered her a space for meditation and mindfulness.

I hope that you love this episode as much as I do!

*TW: We speak about disordered eating, depression, and body image in this episode to caution anyone who might find this triggering or upsetting.
