Welcome to the 123rd episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast and a very happy 2022 to you all. I hope you had a good break and feel ready for the year ahead.

So, in today’s episode, I’m going to be reviewing the book Wintering (The power of rest and retreat in difficult times) by Katherine May.
