Welcome back to Wildly Unplug, where we share stories of nature, conservation, and creativity—and explore what develops when we unplug and step outside.

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce fellow podcaster Amy, creator and host of the Grounded in Maine podcast. With over 100 episodes, Amy’s show explores the vast world of sustainability with a refreshing, relatable perspective. Our conversation covered everything from homesteading myths to simple acts of mindful living—and a few laughs about chickens, roosters, and worm bins along the way.

Amy’s Top Tip for Connecting with Nature:

🔌Simple and sweet: Get a bird feeder.

“It might make you feel old, but there’s something so magical about watching the birds come and go. It’s an easy way to start noticing the world around you.”

Whether it’s a hummingbird feeder or tossing out seeds, Amy believes small interactions with nature build lasting connections.

Welcome back to Wildly Unplug—where we share stories of nature, art, and conservation. Today, I’m excited to give you a behind-the-scenes look at a memorable experience I had presenting Tide Lines: Journaling Nature’s Journey at the National Association for Interpretation (NAI) Conference in the beautiful city of St. Augustine, Florida in December, 2024.

Lauren’s Top Tip for Connecting with Nature:

🔌Don't overthink it. Whether you’re nervous about drawing or unsure what to write, just dive in. You’ll be amazed at the stories you uncover and the memories you create.

Like my own 16-year-old, who was so worried about researching the St. Louis Arch from his hotel room. It wasn’t until he went outside, explored, and experienced it firsthand that his project came alive—and earned him a perfect score.

Nature is waiting. Grab your journal, take a breath, and see what develops. 🌿
