    Brighton Peachey: Solo Adventures With Kids & Outdoor Safety Tips

    This episode features Brighton Peachey, a mom to three boys, currently living in the woods of Maine. She's passionate about spending time in the outdoors with her family and has unique insight from her experience working in the ER and on Search and Rescue. We talk about how the outdoors helped her in the postpartum period, going on solo adventures with her kids, homeschooling, and outdoor safety tips. Brighton also shares a harrowing personal story that highlights why being in a city is not necessarily safer than being outdoors. I really enjoyed this talk and was inspired by Brighton's strength, resilience, and empathic nature.
