📖 🌊ANNOUNCING: WOMEN AND WATER, A new book from She Explores 🌊 📖⁣
⁣
We’re thrilled to share our latest project with you after the spending the last year (plus!) diving into all things water. Featuring more than 40 swimmers, paddlers, sailors, surfers, activists, artists, scientists, and fisherpeople…Women and Water showcases women in varied stages of their water journeys. Our hope? That reading this book opens you up to the world of possibilities surrounding this precious element.⁣
⁣
We’re grateful to this book for giving us the opportunity to contemplate our own connection with waterways near and far, and to stretch ourselves dream up new ways of engaging with and protecting the environment. And we’re grateful to you all for continuing to challenge and inspire us ✨ ⁣
⁣
Women and Water is now available for preorder; Head to She-Explores.com/women-and-water (linked in our profile!) to order and learn more. The book will be available everywhere in March 2023.⁣
⁣
Please head to our comments to see all the incredible women who are featured in this book! (We’re limited in tagging handles here…) And know that we’ll be featuring them in various capacities over the coming months.⁣
⁣
Thank you to @chroniclebooks, and our editors @rachelhiles, & @claire.gihuly ⁣

📣ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 Nine years ago we started down a path and created She Explores. And as of today, we’ve reached the end of our time on this particular trail. As you may know, we’ve been slowing down for a while now, but we want to make it official: 

We have decided to close submissions and end production for She Explores. 

In your podcast feed, you’ll find our last episode. On She-Explores.com, you can read our last blog post. In both, you can learn more about the decision, what the team is up to now, and what we’ll be carrying with us. 

But here, we just want to say a big THANK YOU — for reading, sharing, and listening. For meeting us in person and online. For collaborating with us and for supporting this work. So much of She Explores has been about the connections we make in our time outside - and these connections have only been possible because of you.

Goodbyes are bittersweet, to be sure, but especially so when you shared something special. Thanks for being a part of something that’s been hard to let go of, and easy to grow with. We hope your time indoors and out brings with it lots of curiosity, creativity, and insights into what makes you, you ✨

Marine biologist and science communicator Mugdha Flores @mugsie_b is the final interview in our Women and Water series on the podcast. I’m part, she talks about the deeper connection she feels out there: “I just feel a deeper connection, not just with the environment, the underwater world, but also with myself.  If I could live underwater, I would… but I'm not a fish, so I think diving is the closest I can get to it.”

Learn how a love of science and nature has taken Mugdha to the depths of the ocean, exploring tide pools, and adventuring with her three dogs. 

Listen to Mugdha on #SheExploresPodcast wherever you find podcasts. 

You can also find Women and Water most places books are sold 🌊

Besides providing a delectable treat, foraging for mushrooms is a great way to immerse yourself in the outdoors and learn about the natural world! 🍄
@naturally_chrisha lists below her favorite wild edible mushrooms. Which mushroom is your favorite to find?

Featured mushrooms:
King Bolete
Chanterelles
Blue Knight
Morel
Chicken of the Woods
Oyster

Finding these mushrooms in the forest takes a lot of research and learning to do so responsibly and with care. And importantly, foraging is a traditional practice for indigenous peoples. We’ve shared a couple of resources in our stories to learn more.

“No matter your shape, water hugs you and holds you. It adapts. As long as you respect it, it will be there for you. And it'll bring you whatever comfort you need.”

When Irene Marcoux @irene_la_sirene was growing up and playing at her local pool, she didn’t dream of becoming a mermaid. She was a mermaid. Those early days of freedom and play were her gateway to a life in the water. And because she’s a big believer in the fact that every body can dive - Irene is all about helping others embrace their inner mermaid too.

Irene is a freediver, scubadiver, synchronized swimmer, lifeguard, and - yes - mermaid! Learn more about her on this week's episode of #SheExploresPodcast.

Irene is also a contributor of our new book, Women and Water 🌊
