This week, we get an inspiring story with a Western twist. Haley is joined by Susan Gaetz, Executive Director of Casting for Recovery, a nonprofit organization that combines the therapeutic power of nature and fly fishing to support women recovering from breast cancer. Susan shares how the organization got started, its growth to nearly every state in the country, and why a fly rod can be a surprising but powerful tool for healing.


Tune in to learn how ranchers, landowners, and anglers alike can support this life-changing mission - and why access to wild places matters more than ever.
