 In this episode, Natalie welcomes Rachel, a former nursery nurse turned creative entrepreneur, to discuss the profound inspiration that the sea and nature provide in our lives. They explore the reasons why people are drawn to beach huts, emphasising the importance of proximity to the sea for relaxation and creativity. Rachel shares her journey from working with children to managing family support services, highlighting the significance of play and creativity in both childhood and adulthood. The conversation delves into the therapeutic benefits of crafting, the joy of engaging with nature, and the importance of creating memories through simple experiences. Rachel also introduces her sustainable craft business, where she hand-prints fabric and creates unique items, encouraging listeners to embrace their creativity and find joy in the little moments of life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Importance of Play in Learning: Engaging children in play-based learning, such as crafting and exploring nature, is vital for their development. It helps them learn essential skills like communication, sharing, and problem-solving. Impact of Nature on Well-being: Being close to nature, particularly the sea, can have a profound effect on mental health and happiness. Engaging with the environment through all senses—sight, sound, touch, and smell—can enhance feelings of relaxation and connection. Creativity for Adults: Crafting and creative activities are not just beneficial for children; they also provide adults with a valuable outlet for self-expression and relaxation. Engaging in creative pursuits can lead to a sense of achievement and improved mental well-being. Creating Memories: Small artifacts or experiences, such as a visit to the beach, can trigger strong memories and emotions. Capturing these moments through photographs or keepsakes can help individuals reconnect with positive feelings during challenging times. Permission to Pause: In a fast-paced society, it's essential to give oneself permission to take breaks and enjoy moments of stillness. Allowing time for reflection and play can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment in life. BEST MOMENTS Rachel: "I think the whole culture of society is changing so that there is much more emphasis now on computers and on television... we've lost that opportunity to just play." Rachel: "For children, learning is fun and play is fun. That's one of the cruxes for children and having the opportunity to be expressive." Rachel: "It's about laying those foundations in terms of the connection with the sea and open space... the freedom that the beach gives." Natalie: "If we're not careful, nature is going to be eaten up, and we don't all want to be in these big concrete urban masses with little access to nature." Rachel: "I think it's about creating little pockets of memories... giving yourself time to remember that it is okay to say I'm not okay and I need some time for me." HOST BIO My name is Natalie Young. I bought a beach hut to bring joy into my life after escaping an abusive relationship and a difficult divorce. Based in Christchurch, Dorset, my beach hut is affectionally called the Salty Seagull and is located on Friars Cliff beach with sea views to the Needles on the Isle of White. It is my slice of heaven. Owning and hiring a beach hut is more complicated than I realised and I am on a constant mission to discover the best ways to manage and care for your hut. I have researched the pros and cons of renting and the best ways to market and host. The beach, the sights and the sounds of the sea bring me huge joy. I hope this podcast will bring you smiles, laughter and joy too! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559730024536&sk=about https://www.linkedin.com/company/103555627/admin/feed/posts/?feedType=following PODCAST DESCRIPTION Welcome to the Bonkers about Beach Huts podcast, the show that's all about beach huts!
