Today I am thankful for guests like Cindy Stites who’s story and voice will no doubt bring hope to our community. 

TRIGGER WARNING: The stories shared in this episode stem from enduring a decade in an abusive marriage. Talk of domestic violence, physical harm, sexual assault, and other abuse is discussed.

Cindy’s journey goes way above and beyond those dark pieces of her past. She shares her recovery and how she went from being a non-hunter, to a woman whose hand is in many areas of hunting education, mentorship, and conservation. 

I believe that her mission to be a steward to the land will encourage others to think about the bigger picture when it comes to what it means to be a hunter. 

Enjoy this powerful conversation!
