Episode 4 - Importance of Nature, Journalling and Reflective Writing

Welcome to our 4th episode on 'Reach Minds - Thoughts for Your Life Journey' podcast. In this podcast we welcome we the lovely Jackee Holder as my guest. In this podcast Jackee Holder shares her wisdom and importance of nature, journalling and reflective writing.

Jackee describes herself as an urban city walker and enthusiast of the health and well-being benefits of connecting and engaging with trees and nature inside urban environments which she integrates in all her work.

Jackee has a portfolio career as a Leadership coach at executive and board levels, on leadership development programmes and as an expert promoting the health and wellbeing benefits of journaling, expressive writing and nature wellness.

Jackee has written three non-fiction titles, two illustrated nature themed writing maps, Writing With Fabulous Trees and Re-Wilding The Page Writing Maps. In 2016 she self published the Inner & Outer Nature Self Discovery card deck, a collection of 49 nature inspired journal writing prompts bringing together the benefits of nature and therapeutic writing.

Her work has been featured in several anthologies including; The Big Book of Journaling, Transformational Journaling for Coaches, Therapists and Clients, The Creativity Workbook for Coaches and Creatives, Inside Creativity Coaching and 101 Coaching Supervision Techniques, Approaches, Enquiries and Experiments.

Jackee lives in London and whenever she can she starts her day, to takes precious ten minutes of gifting herself to either journal or take an early morning walk amongst the trees.
