What happens when you venture deep into the Everglades, armed with nothing but curiosity, a love for nature, and a resilient spirit? For Josie Houchard, it marked the start of an adventure that would change her life.
In this episode, Josie takes us on a journey through wetlands, rivers, and the winding paths of self-discovery. From growing up as the youngest in a bustling North Carolina family to finding her calling in the lush Everglades, her story is one of grit, humor, and an unshakable connection to the environment. Along the way, we explore her dream of reclaiming wetlands and managing stormwater—transforming her passion into purpose.
But the heart of our conversation lies beyond the wetlands. Josie opens up about what it means to find home, not just in a place, but within us. She reflects on the challenges of being an extrovert, balancing her bold personality with the desire for connection, and learning to stay true to who she is despite life’s pressures.
This is more than a story about wetlands; it’s a story about resilience, authenticity, and the courage to take up space in the world. Join us as we wade through the waters of identity, adventure, and the beautiful mess of being human.
