Listen to this episode on how Mike Martin shares how nature and the wildlife can heal you mentally and emotionally.

About the Guest:

Mike Martin is an author and host of the podcast Project Mindfully Outdoors. He is also an avid sportsman. Who finds his soloist within the wilderness. No matter if Mike finds himself in the deer works, or a river bank the connection with Mother Nature is his driving force behind the adventure. In 2020, life handed Mike a bunch of bad medicine. It became clear that he could no longer hide from his mental health struggles. This perfect storm of life-changing events caused him to retreat back into the wilderness. In the wilderness, he could tap into the unique skill set he developed during his life. To begin to work through the depression and anxiety, that had plagued his life. By leaning into the concepts behind the North American Wildlife Conservation Model, he found inspiration to meet his own personal challenges, and rebuild his life. Once Mike learned to combine the two major ideas that make up the model, conservation, and stewardship, with finding a deeper connection with the wilderness. He found an inter power to take control of his life. 

Notable work, Project Mindfully Outdoors- This is the base camp for Mike's work. This project was started back in 2020, early on in his journey. When he began working with Cervid Nation. With the goal of bringing to light a subject that had a need to be approached within the outdoor space. Through his many articles and weekly podcast, Mike has become the voice of support within the outdoor community and beyond.

Letters from camp- This is a collection of guided meditations that are intended to aid in building a personal connection with mother nature. While sharing with the listener the wisdom to unlock the power within to move their life story forward.
