Many veterans today are suffering—and isolation is a key cause. Without the shared mission and tribe of active duty life, mental and emotional wounds can deepen in silence.Could nature, skill, and community be the antidote?Retired Lt. Col. John “Saint” Langford thinks so.As CEO of Project Healing Waters, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving disabled veterans, Langford now leads one of the most unique healing organizations in America. Through the therapeutic art of fly fishing—and the power of nature and community—his team helped over 7,000 veterans in 2024 rediscover strength and post-traumatic healing.In this episode, we discuss:- Why fly fishing offers a potent combination of focus, challenge, and community for trauma recovery- How nature and structured discomfort can rewire the brain and support long-term mental health- The science behind community as medicine—and how loneliness is killing more Americans than heart disease- The idea of “tribe” and how veterans can find it again outside of uniform- What civilians can learn from this model—and why we’re all wired for meaning, purpose, and shared missionWhether you’re a veteran, a family member, or simply someone feeling lost in today’s world, this episode offers hope—and a reminder: sometimes healing starts waist-deep in a river, fly rod in hand, with someone beside you who gets it.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE- Start your healing journey with Project Healing Waters: Locations : Project Healing Waters- Support the mission / Donate: Get Involved : Project Healing Waters- Having suicidal thoughts?
