Rebecca Schiller is a writer, journalist and the author of Your No Guilt Pregnancy Plan and Why Human Rights in Childbirth Matter. She is co-founder and trustee of the human rights charity Birthrights and a regular contributor to the Guardian. Rebecca and her family raise a motley crew of goats, geese, ducks and chickens. They work their small plot to grow vegetables, fruit and flowers and restore wildlife to the land.

Rebecca's most recent book, Earthed, is out now in paperback.  Rebecca’s new book ‘1000 ways to pay attention’ - the US version of Earthed - is also out now.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• How she came to smallholding
• Her first memories of nature
• The importance of giving children access to the natural world
• Finding the balance in working in and with nature
• The impact that her ADHD diagnosis and the pandemic had on her writing process
• How the narrative has developed for the US version
• Nature writing as nuanced conversation
• Writing by your seasons
