In this episode of the Truly Expat Podcast, hosts Paula and Rachel sit down with Lisa Partridge, the founder of Sixcoms, to discuss the impactful Walk and Talk concept. 


Originating from Lisa's life-changing move from the UK to Singapore, the innovative community activity encourages people to connect deeply through walking together in nature. Lisa shares her journey from being a teacher to an entrepreneur and facilitator in Singapore, elaborating on how the idea of 'Walk and Talk' was born out of the need for meaningful connections during lockdown. 


She opens up about the transformative power of walking side by side, fostering deep conversations and reflections, and the organic growth of the walk-and-talk community to over a hundred members. The discussion delves into the benefits of walking for mental and physical well-being and as a unique way to foster connectivity and inclusivity in various settings. The episode also discusses how these principles can be extended to workplace environments and personal growth workshops, emphasising the broader implications for mental health and community building.
