Nature, Beauty & Jennifer Walsh

This episode features a 2-part interview with Jennifer Walsh, who talks about her years in the beauty industry, her deep love of nature and her mission to connect us to the natural world. The first part of our interview was recorded Fall 2019 with the intention of kicking off the 3rd Season this Fall. But with everything happening in the world today we realized Jennifer's perspective and love of nature is the inspiration we could use right now as we are all sheltering-in-place. So we talked to her again this April while she is sheltered in NYC, and we hope this conversation will give you the encouragement to find those moments to get outside into the beauty of nature. Please enjoy this episode of Serenbe Stories.
