In this episode of The Hundred Acre Pen, I’m joined by my friend
writer of the Substack publication Wandering Willow and a Certified Forest Therapy Guide—for a tender, honest conversation about healing, mental health, and the quiet transformation that begins when we finally listen to what our nervous system has been whispering all along.
We talk about her journey from burnout and a soul-sucking job to a serendipitous encounter at a pottery studio that led her toward healing through forest therapy.
Together, we read a few of Sam’s poems, Letting Go, Any Wings Will Do, talk about what they mean, how writing became a way back to herself, and how even the simplest moments in nature can carry profound wisdom if we’re willing to slow down and notice.
It was such a joy to sit with Sam in this conversation, where she lends us her honesty, vulnerability and courage that reminds us to pause, listen deeply, and allow that small still voice to guide us back to remember what was never truly lost.
So grab a cozy spot, settle in, and welcome to The Hundred Acre Pen.
With warmth and wonder.
