In today's episode, I'm chatting with Ella Therkildsen, a beautifully nature connected human and Yoga Teacher from New South Wales. I had the unexpected joy of meeting Ella on Arran during her travels from Australia in the summer of 2026. Recording this episode with the magnificent Holy Isle as a backdrop, this conversation was a reminder of the magic that can happen when we take notice of the present. From sea swims and misty mountain hikes to meeting likeminded others and walking the entire Arran coastal path, island life has gifted Ella with experiences that will last a lifetime.
In this episode, Ella reflects on her ocean origins and the spiritual path that led her to solo travel.

If you enjoyed the episode and are able to share with a friend or leave a review, I'd be super grateful.
The hope with this podcast is to bring a tiny dose of blue wherever in the world you're listening...to remind ourselves as a global community of ocean lovers that there is hope for the future of our waterways.
Sending you all the ocean love,
Lily xx
