Episode Synopsis

Helen once had a thriving career as a Consultant Surgeon and Senior Leader in the NHS — but a love of nature led her down an entirely different path.In 2010, she and her husband bought a 26-acre field and began transforming it into a thriving wild haven — planting 20,000 trees, sowing wildflowers, digging ponds, and creating homes for birds and bats.Then, during a summer picnic in 2017, one spontaneous conversation sparked an idea: what if they could do this full-time? That moment led to the birth of Make it Wild, a rewilding business that now helps individuals and companies across the UK boost biodiversity and reconnect with nature.In this episode, Helen shares her inspiring journey from surgeon to rewilding entrepreneur — and what it really means to live a life that gives back.You can follow Helen and Make it Wild here:WebsiteFacebookInstagramTikTokYouTube____To connect with me and find out more about Living Life Differently then follow my social media channels or visit my website:WebsiteFacebookInstagramTikTokYouTubeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/living-life-differently/donations
