Biophilic Solutions: Nature Has the Answers
Have you ever noticed how DNA’s spiraling structure mirrors the shape of seashells and flowers? How our circulatory system branches like tree roots? Nature doesn’t just surround us—we are nature. Our bodies, minds, and societies are woven into its rhythms, yet in today’s modern world, we’ve severed that bond, and the consequences ripple through our environment, politics, culture, and even spirituality.
Every other week, hosts Monica Olsen and Jennifer Walsh explore the profound connections between planetary health and human well-being. Through conversations with leading experts, they uncover how nature influences everything—from the way we design our cities to the way we govern, heal, and find meaning in our lives. As we face climate change, biodiversity loss, and deep societal shifts, rediscovering our place in the natural world isn’t just necessary—it’s transformative.

As we welcome a new season of Biophilic Solutions, we’re also sharing a bittersweet farewell to our wonderful co-host, Jennifer Walsh. From the very beginning, Jennifer has brought a thoughtful, grounded perspective to nearly every conversation, drawing on her work as a business leader and expert on biophilia.
The silver lining is that she’s stepping away precisely because her message is resonating. From speaking engagements to nature walks to wellness room design, her essential work is in greater demand than ever. Finally, it seems like people are ready to log off, slow down, and really reconnect with both nature and themselves.
In this episode, Monica and Jennifer look back on the first five seasons of the podcast, sharing key lessons and memorable moments along the way. They also explore Jennifer’s new project, The Lost Art of Being Human (LABH), and reflect on how the field of biophilia has evolved in recent years. And of course, they look ahead, offering a glimpse into what’s next from exciting guest co-hosts to the future of our relationship with nature in an increasingly chaotic world.
