Why My Mountains and Me
I’ve always been a perfectionist and an over-thinker - the kind of person whose mind rarely switches off. Life, work and motherhood can feel loud and overwhelming at times, and getting outside has become my reset button.
The mountains, coastal paths and quiet woodland trails give me space to slow down, breathe deeply and step away from the mental noise. Time outdoors isn’t about ticking off summits or going further each time - it’s about feeling calmer, clearer and more present.
Sharing these adventures with my children reminds me to see the world more simply again.
Muddy boots, fresh air and small moments outside have a way of grounding us all, and that’s a big part of why My Mountains and Me exists - to encourage other families to experience the same benefits that nature brings to both body and mind.
