Show Notes

What do you do with your stress and anxiety? We used to mash it down into a little ball that grew less manageable over time. It wasn’t until we started daily walking and hiking in our 40s that we realized the mind-body benefit that comes from sweating it out. Today we’re talking to a woman who found exercise more than a stress-buster; it actually saved her life.

Our guest today, Amy Clover, has battled clinical depression and anxiety all her adult life. After a near suicide and treatment, she turned to exercise to become Strong Inside Out. Besides her work on suicide prevention around the US, Amy teaches people with anxiety and depression how exercise can improve their lives and ease their symptoms.
