I’m excited to introduce this week’s guest, Erica Terblanche. Erica was recently introduced to me by Eric Deeter, who was a guest on this show, on episode 368. You’ll hear us saying “Thanks Eric!” in this episode, and that’s who we’re talking about.

In this episode, we talk about how nature helps us to unlock our highest potential. We also discuss the cost of being disconnected from nature—mentally, physically, and emotionally.

About Erica Terblanche

Erica is a life and well-being coach, and has a popular weekly feature on Mix FM on the science of well-being and how people can build resilience in scientifically validated ways.

She has a degree in psychology. a masters in positive psychology from the University of East London in the UK, and several international coaching qualifications that enable her to work with individuals and especially within teams.

She has twenty years of corporate experience at Exco and Board level in financial services and holds an MBA from the University of Cape Town.

She is also a well-known and accomplished endurance athlete, having won some of the world's most grueling multi-day races (she has told me the furthest she has ever run without stopping once is 208km - she knows about perseverance and grit and not just from textbooks) and she is the author of the much-acclaimed memoir RUN for the Love of Life, which also made it to the Exclusive Books Top Recommended list for non-fiction only three months after publishing the book.

Erica is also the founder of Teach a Girl to Fish and Thrive Guru, both businesses helping people to unlock their highest personal potential, well-being and happiness, especially through combining psychology and nature immersion. She has a unique angle on motivational speaking, blending her corporate experience with the lessons from extreme distance running with the science of what makes life worthwhile to inspire, equip and motivate people to take that next step in their life.
