Brooke Castillo
About this episode

One of the things that has helped me more than anything else during hard times is walking.

 

Having a walking practice has brought me more peace and calm than I could have ever imagined, and I encourage everyone I know, including all of you, to start one.

 

This week, hear all the benefits I’ve experienced from having a consistent walking practice, the types of walks my practice includes, and some tips for making the most of your practice.
