Episode 36
Be your own valentine's w/ Fleur Boxall
Join us on a journey into the heart of nature's healing embrace as we delve into the profound effects of self-love on our well-being. In this episode, we're delighted to welcome the insightful Fleur Boxall, whose expertise in mindfulness and self-care illuminates our understanding of the powerful connection between nature and self-discovery.
Fleur is a nature connection coach, Nature based therapist, Nature & Forest Therapy Guide and EcoNIDRA meditation teacher. And, Fleur shares her wisdom and experiences, guiding us through practices that foster self-compassion and appreciation for the world around us. Whether you're seeking solace amidst the trees or simply to reconnect with your own inner landscape, this episode offers inspiration and practical insights to cultivate a more loving relationship with yourself and nature.
Through intimate conversations and reflections, we explore how immersing ourselves in the beauty of the natural world can deepen our sense of self-love and acceptance. From the restorative power of forest bathing to the transformative impact of mindful hiking, each moment spent in nature becomes a gentle reminder to nurture our inner selves.
We hope you enjoy this episode and the lovely poem written by Fleur below!

'You See Sister’
Why is it That when we buy a gift for a friend or someone we love
The effort made Is always displayed?
We take time to consider what they would really desire
Planning ahead of time
Nothing sent from Amazon prime
Or last minute cheap bottle of wine It’s an ‘Etsy’ gift
Personalise and unique
Or bought from a fancy boutique
Or ‘not on high street’
Always wrapped in the prettiest paper
Or gift bag With a tag
To say 'Happy Birthday’ a moon pig card
To make them laugh If they need a hug
To say we care We’re always there
To let them know they are loved
But when it’s just us
We resign ourselves to the bargain basement
No need to make a statement
We head for the aisle
Where things are a little bit broken
The dress with a slight rip
Or unusable zip
Or unforgiving stain It’s cheap, marked down, always picked from the sale rail We save the quality, Tesco Finest, The John Lewis purchase M&S , the best For the rest only ever for everyone else
Leaving ourself on the value shelf
Of life In love How sad it is
To always stand at the back
When the photo's taken
Wearing an invisible cloak is no joke
Leaving ourselves out Last to be chosen
Your poor heart frozen
Not safe to be seen
Told off for being a ‘Drama Queen’
Learned behaviour Won’t be your saviour How sad it is
To always wear boring grey ‘It don’t matter anyway’
You say to yourself
Every day But it does It’s only when
You learn to exist For yourself
Raise your self up to the highest shelf
Stop being mean to your self esteem
Only the best will do applies to you too!
Your self worth is worth saving
Take a hard look at how your behaving
Treat yourself with daily love and kindest You see sister
The tag you wear is priceless
That big heart you have
Save some love for yourself Stand at the front
Never doubt
That you count
Take a seat In first class
Don’t be afraid To show off your sassy ass
Don’t be afraid to take up space
Stand in your power
Own your place With Grace
Don’t be afraid of being a disgrace
And never, ever again resign yourself to the bargain bin In life In love
Be your own best friend Put yourself first
Buy yourself flowers
Own your own beautiful worth
