Ellie Goulding has opened up about her struggle with postpartum depression, which is reported to affect more than 1 in 10 parents in the UK within one year of giving birth.
The singer and songwriter welcomed her son Arthur into the world in 2021, and credits nature’s healing power with helping her recover.
The Healing Power of Nature: How Nature Walks Helped Me Overcome My ‘Numbness’ During a guest edit on Radio 4’s Today, Ellie Goulding talks about how walking in the countryside helped her overcome her ‘numbness’.
This is not the first time that nature has been a refuge for Ellie. She has a long-standing history of anxiety, which she attributes to her turbulent childhood, which saw her parents split up and her family facing financial uncertainty.
