In this captivating episode of the Soul Seekers Podcast, host Johnny Mack reconnects with Jess Caldwell, the owner of Wildkind Outdoors, to explore her transformative journey towards self-reliance and her deepening connection with nature. Four years after their last conversation, Jess shares her evolution from a fear-driven prepper to a vibrant advocate for holistic survival and community resilience. Together, they discuss the importance of living in the present, the spiritual aspects of hunting, and the balance between consumption and production in our lives.

Jess reflects on her experiences with hunting and how it has shaped her understanding of self-reliance, community, and the primal adventure that lies within us all. She emphasizes the significance of mentorship and the need for a supportive community in nurturing a love for the outdoors. The conversation delves into the energy we bring to our food, the life force inherent in wild versus cultivated food, and the powerful connection we share with the natural world.

Listeners will be inspired to embrace their own journeys of self-discovery, learn about the upcoming courses and initiatives from Wildkind Outdoors, and understand the vital role of hunting in our lives. Jess’s passion for teaching and empowering others shines through, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in deepening their connection to nature and fostering resilience in their communities.
