The Can Do Way

In this episode of The Can Do Way, I am talking to Sonya Dibbin, a forest therapy trainer and guide.
Following the birth of her son, Sonya regularly went for slow countryside walks and realised she felt better than she had in years, despite the 'New Mum' struggles.
Driven by a deep curiosity, Sonya swapped her corporate role for an 18-month journey of personal transformation, retraining as a guide in Forest Therapy, EcoNIDRA, and Mindfulness. Since then, she has introduced hundreds of like-minded individuals to the magic and science of Deep Nature Connection, proudly referring to herself and her community as "Nature Nerds”.
From a childhood shaped by ‘fair weather only’ experiences, Sonya’s life changing Can Do story led her to embrace nature's beauty in all seasons. Mastering the art of solitude and silence and finding awe in the small wonders of everyday life, are joyful practices that continue to inspire her journey today.
Listen for Sonya’s Can Do tips: 
1. When you are too busy to spend 20 minutes in nature, you need to spend 1 hour.
2. When you are really stuck, do something.
3. Every ‘No’ you receive is a step closer to your dream.
