episode 7: Conversations with Dr Jen - EP6 Maxine Geary
In this episode I chat to Maxine Geary, a holistic lifestyle lifestyle coach. Maxine shares her experience of transitioning from predominantly exercising indoors to discovering the outdoors and the joys of trail running, cycling, hiking and wild swimming. We discuss how the outdoors offers a different type of fitness and provides many more benefits to typical gym based exercise. We also talk about the value of finding groups of like minded individuals to plan adventures with and how adventuring outdoors helped her process hair loss following illness. Maxine also shares how she tackled the fears she has faced with the different challenges she has undertaken. Finally, Maxine talks about how she aims to combine her love for the outdoors with her holistic lifestyle coaching business, joyful living, with the hope that she can help other people also experience the benefits of spending time outdoors and having adventures.
