The Silvercore Podcast with Travis Bader

Ep. 151: Survival, Psychology, and Burnout: A Deep Dive with Megan Hine


Listen Later

Join me as I sit down with one of the world’s top survival experts, Megan Hine, for a raw and thought-provoking conversation. Megan is an expedition leader, the author of Mind of a Survivor, and a key figure behind some of the most extreme survival TV shows in the world. In this episode, we explore survival psychology, the power of human connection, and how the outdoors can heal and transform.

Megan opens up about her personal experiences with burnout, the lessons she’s learned from decades in high-risk environments, and the mental toughness it takes to thrive when the odds are against you. We also discuss the role of nature in balancing the chaos of modern life and how embracing discomfort can help us grow.

This is more than just a podcast—it’s a deep dive into what makes us resilient as humans. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a psychology buff, or just someone looking to be inspired, this conversation will leave you with new perspectives and actionable insights.
