In this truly uplifting and expansive episode, Gail shares with Jayda her personal experiences with chronic pain and how she found the hope to overcome being told she would never be able to walk again. With that Gail tells Jayda her unbelievable stories of adventuring from everywhere from the Appalachian Trail to Alaska and her relationship with hope whilst conquering such journeys, but also the immense role the outdoors and being in the wild has had on hope itself. Gail also shares with Jayda her experience of getting a late diagnosis of ADHD and the impact of learning you are neurodivergent on both how you and others relate to and understand you. Gail goes into incredible detail of really unpacking what hope is, and gives us an even deeper understanding of therefore how to re-cultivate it when it's feeling hard to come by. We really think this episode will be so valuable to everyone, and really deepen your understanding of hope, whether you are facing chronic pain or a challenged sense of self for any reason.
