  <description>In this episode, I’m joined by Caleb Pauzé, a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate, Wilderness First Responder, and experienced canoe trip leader, to explore the transformative power of wilderness adventures on mental health. Caleb shares what canoe tripping is and reflects on how extended time in nature impacts mental clarity and mood, the role of solitude and disconnection from technology, and the resilience built through the physical demands of outdoor adventures. He also offers practical advice for anyone considering a wilderness journey as a way to support their mental well-being. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about finding peace, balance, and growth in the great outdoors!
