I am really excited to share with you this reel from Alexandria Wood-Ward .0 presenting a recording I have done last year on her podcast The anatomy of life

A bit weird out by the sound of my own voice but I’m getting used to it!

😊

There’s a term for being overwhelmed by beauty: Stendhal syndrome – when a painting, a church, or even a city square is so intense that your heart races and you have to look away.

I think some landscapes do this too.

You stand there, and suddenly it’s not “just” a valley or a shoreline. It’s grief, awe, memory, belonging – all arriving at once. Your nervous system understands something long before your rational brain catches up.

In 2025, I visited twelve places that did exactly that to me.

They weren’t the “biggest” or most impressive sites. But they were the ones where I felt my chest tighten and my thoughts slow down – the places that reminded me I’m a body in a landscape, not just a brain carrying a to-do list.

We spend so much time in controlled environments that we can almost forget how strongly place shapes our thinking, our empathy, and our capacity to stay with difficult problems.

I’ve shared here twelve landscapes from 2025 that moved me more than any dataset – not because they were “perfect”, but because they made emotion and context impossible to ignore.

🎙️ Second podcast recording in 72 hours — first one of the week, and done!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining the Communication and Culture podcast hosted by Nadege Minois, and it was just a genuinely lovely conversation. Very natural, very warm… simply a great chat. ✨

The episode will be coming out very soon, and I’ll make sure to share a few snippets here — and also over on Instagram at .

As promised, I’m giving you both the pre-recording jitters photo and the post-recording goodbye photo. The relief was real! 🙌

Feeling grateful for these opportunities and the meaningful conversations they spark.

🎙️ Celebrating a new podcast recording today at Archaeology for Wellbeing!

I’m giving you both the pre-recording jitters photo and the post-recording goodbye photo… because honesty is part of the journey. 😅 no filter no lighting-work no editing just a real face a bit flushed and all

Recording with Abigail Letsinger was an absolute delight. We had a relaxed, thoughtful conversation with some truly stimulating moments.
And yes—there were flashes of self-doubt in between the clarity (as always):
“Did I say everything I meant to say?”
“Did I sound like a reasonable human being… and a fully functioning adult?” 🤔😂

Hopefully I didn’t convince anyone that archaeology is only populated by silly people.
(I promise: we’re all perfectly fine. Mostly. 😉)

Next week, I have two more podcast recordings lined up. I’ll keep you posted—and yes, I’ll try to share more pre- and post-photos of the adventure!

The episode recorded today will be released in April 2026, and I’ll make sure to keep you all updated.

Feeling grateful, excited, and just the right amount of tired 🥱

Now heading to my favourite room (the kitchen) to prepare for my favourite time of the day (dinner)!

Curiosity saves my sanity...

As a child, I was obsessed with the idea that whole cities were sleeping under our feet. As an archaeologist, that same curiosity now helps me face long days, heavy emotions, and the loneliness that can follow us into work.

Every trench, broken pot, oyster shell or forgotten building asks the same question: What’s the story here?

When we return to that question. We listen better. We feel less alone. We see possibilities. Curiosity becomes a form of care, and a powerful antidote to burnout.

This is what I teach in my workshops people feel grounded, connected and creatively alive again.

What does curiosity look like in your life?

Women weren’t just present in care—they were pillars of it. They had a place in the system and showed up in healthcare long before handbooks and job titles.

Shame the line was written by a man who thought he could grade our “wits”.
Thanks for the seat at the table—we’ll keep the whole clinic.
Patronising tone? 10/10.
Women’s contribution to care? Also 10/10.
CTA: Who’s the woman healer in your family story? Share her name to honour the carer.

What is YOUR pain point at work?

Attended the FUTURE READY SUMMIT for professional speakers yesterday organized by Elliot Kay. Loved Maria Franzoni’s session—clear, brilliant, practical. Her book’s already on my desk.

I’m fired up to apply her recommendations: sharpen ROI and pain points I solve. It’s all about clarity. Expertly moderated by the incredibly efficient Lovelda Vincenzi.

I’ll take this straight into Archaeology for Wellbeing Keynotes and Workshops—

For disconnected, isolated, misaligned teams and individuals -> I make communication easier, rebuild connection, and give you clear before/after metrics.

If you’re nearby, go see the Last Days of Pompeii exhibition.
It’s short, yes — but beautifully crafted, immersive, and full of vivid archaeological storytelling.
The VR, the reconstructions, the atmosphere… it brings a whole ancient world back to life.
Worth it, absolutely.

Rhythm matters.

Small, repeatable actions can have a profound impact on mental resilience.

Across history, communities relied on tactile, rhythmic practices - textiles, weaving, carving, knitting - not only to produce, survive and sustain economies, but also, unknowingly, to create moments of calm, focus, and mental restoration.

Modern research echoes this: rhythmic manual tasks can lower stress, support emotional regulation, and give our minds a welcome “mental break.”

At Archaeology for Wellbeing, I explore how these ancient practices continue to inform the way we build resilience today: individually and within teams.

Are these ruins? Not really—they’re people, hidden in plain sight.

Tiny shoes, woven fibres and keys reveal Roman life better than any monument. These objects remind us that archaeology is everyday humanity made visible.

When we handle them, we connect, empathise, and slow down. Visit for the walls; stay for the lives.

This is one of the main step of integrating Archaeology for Wellbeing.

Archaeology looks slow from the outside, but its rhythm is a masterclass in mindful focus.

Every layer teaches you to pause, observe, and decide with intention. That’s why archaeological practice keeps showing up in wellbeing research: the act of noticing is therapeutic.

It steadies attention, lowers stress, and creates a sense of quiet purpose that many teams are missing today.

When we bring this mindset into the workplace, we don’t just analyse the “past.” We build cultures that protect presence, care, and clarity. Archaeology has more to offer than you think.
