In her new book, A Walking Life, she delves into the topic of community and how we can boost our creativity, our mental and physical health and our freedom, through the natural act of walking.

  • David Bressoud, Former President, Mathematical Association of America
Effect on Emotions
  • Made me more aware of them
  • I am very conscious now about how high my anxiety levels are
  • I'm wildly curious about the role of emotions in the physical body
Thoughts on Breathing
  • Everytime I get nervous, everytime my kids get tantrums I just say Okay… I can feel my heart slow down and the anxiety reduced.
  • It's absolutely necessary
Suggested Resources
  • Book: Instead of an actual book, I recommend Walking Meditation Cards from Donja de Groot in the Netherlands: http://dao2change.com/Contact/ She doesn't list them on her website. I just emailed and asked if I could buy a set.
  • App: Headspace
  • App: Laurie Brown's Pondercast podcast. It's not a meditation app per se, but when I can't sleep in the middle of the night listening to it takes me deep into questions of existence and helps shake off anxieties. I recommend it to friends as a treatment for the “3 am crazies.”
Bullying Story
  • It was my home that was not a safe place.
  • Although we have a different relationship now, my mother was very emotionally and psychologically abusive.
