Our first video episode is wildy goofy and riveting, we'd expect nothing less from Lilly Woodbury! As the Regional Manager of Surfrider Foundation Canada (& Sexy Stoked Pacific Rim Surf Bums), Lilly's environmental activist roots are shaped by her formative years in Tofino and her parents' eco-conscious ethos. We delve into her unconventional upbringing in Tofino, navigating world issues, and personal challenges with resilience and grace. Lilly opens up about her unwavering support for her parents through tough times, recounting her father's valiant fight against cancer and her mother's inspiring triumph over the disease.
We then explore the significance of self-care and equilibrium in our chill, yet incredibly un-chill, lives. Lilly imparts wisdom on overcoming self-doubt and cherishing moments of solace in nature.
