Walking in Joy, Spontaneity, and Friendship with Cheryly Richardson and Beth Platow
This Morning WalkShow Notes
Libby welcomes two of her closest walking partners - Cheryl Richardson and Beth Platow - to the show this week for a conversation about friendship, joy, self-care, and a sense of belonging. Cheryl Richardson is a pioneer in the practice of self-care and New York Times bestselling author of multiple books on the subject, and Beth Platow is an author and professor at Berklee College in Boston. As neighbors, they walked together throughout the Covid pandemic as a pod, reminiscing about specific walks that were particularly meaningful during that time, including walks in the woods, on the beach, and even in the cold water. The conversation highlights the joy, spontaneity, and childlike wonder that walking together has brought into their lives.
