Hello wild ones!In this episode, I cover all things Norse. We will get into some terminology: Old Nose, Norse, Nordic, Viking, Vikingr, Drengr, runes and more. The topics I share about are cited from many sources including the renowned Dr. Jackson Crawford, former Colorado University professor in specializing in Old Norse language, mythology, and literature.I share my introductory into this culture as a young girl, being a Norse witch, and how to navigate the outdoors like a "Viking". I get into how the culture and mythos inspired me to brand Wild Experience Gear and The Wild Experience Life podcast around Norse mythos. Also, I shared the company logo's meaning (Ægishjamur Icelandic smac) and how it can relate to you when you head outdoors embracing being the badass you are inside.I tapped into a little Skald (Norse storyteller) moment reading you two excerpts from the Hávamál at the very end. Enjoy.Stay safe. Stay wild, my friends!_________________________________________Join me in The Horde of Badasses:Subscribe to my email list, here for the The Wild Experience Gear Newsletter!

Holistic health - What is it?The whole person approach to health. This includes a person’s physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual wellness. Taking into account more than just the physical symptoms of disease or injury. 3 main topics of value-- consumption, routines, and supportEating to support the body is vital for quality health.What is normal? What does a "normal" or homeostasis body feel like?Rested, uplifted spirits, no headaches, no digestive issues, temperament is even, going to sleep is easy and staying asleep a normal thing, energy to keep up with the life you want to life!To get on top of your health... Do your own research! Don't take no for an answer. Get a second opinion.After researching, I chose to go with a functional medicine clinic which catapulted a chain reaction of learning lifestyle changes and management over my own health. We have more power and autonomy over our health than we have been conditioned to think.Let’s think about this. Your body is always signaling to you.
