Nature Fit Family with Brett Traudt
S'more Outdoor Presents Nature Fit Family. What if I told you that just getting outside isn’t enough? While this show is based on the premise that spending more time outside IS beneficial for our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well being and should be the foundation for our family’s health, we need more than the outdoors for our family to thrive in todays world. For the last 15 years, Brett has been on a journey learning about the impact nature has on us while trying to figure out a way to bring that ‘Nature Feeling’ back to our everyday life. Join Brett as he shares what he is doing to overcome the struggles we all face in life, how he is raising a child in an always on digital world and what he has discovered about the outdoors, personal growth and spirituality.
