Then a twist of fate found me working as a wildlife photographer/filmmaker/guide while living in Yellowstone, and the wild came creeping in...My podcast will cover my journey through immeasurable loss, devastating addiction, and how I found Marley, and my way home to healing and recovery in nature. I'll share my unconventional route, and interview others on their journey
