Episode 10: How Joe Minihane Found Wild Swimming

Full episode and Show Notes - www.activeminds.life/podcastMy 5th guest on the podcast is the travel adventure journalist and author Joe Minihane.After reading Roger Deakin's seminal book Waterlog, Joe became obsessed with wild swimming, and between 2012 and 2015 decided to retrace Deakins wilds swims around Britain and then write a book detailing his adventures. No mean feat given the fact that he didn’t drive at the time and wasn’t a particularly strong swimmer.In his book, Floating, Joe beautifully details his journey in exploring his own mental health and attempts to find acceptance and peace through the healing properties of nature and wild stretches of water.I’ve a lot of respect for Joe in how publicly open and honest he has been with regards to his own mental health struggles particularly at a time when it wasn’t quite as acceptable or dare I say it trendy. I also respect the fact that he has addressed his mental health issues head on, done the hard work and has the discipline to put into practice the self-care strategy that works for him; cause let’s be honest, despite what a lot of the self-improvement industry might have us believe, there is no silver bullet or quick fixes when it comes managing our various expressions of mental illness. Whether it be anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, eating disorders or drugs or alcohol dependency, It takes a huge amount of work and bravery to explore the root causes and gain the awareness needed to manage and overcome these debilitating illnesses…and despite toddlers, babies, furloughs and pandemic lockdowns, Joe finds himself in a good place and grateful for all he has.
