I'm your host, Mary Lewis. Today I'm talking with Pam, at Mother Nature's Apprentice in Kentucky. Good morning, Pam. How are you? I'm very well. How are you today? I'm good. How's the weather? It actually is nicer today. It's a bit overcast here in beautiful Northern Kentucky. We've been having 00:28 like most of the country, some hot weather, but we did get some rain and I think we may get a bit more today. How about you? It is lovely in Minnesota right now. The sun is shining. There's big puffy clouds in the sky, bright blue, and it's about eighty to seventy five degrees, I think, if that it's the first really nice morning we've had in just under a week because it's been really muggy here. So. 00:56 I was very happy to drink my coffee sitting on the porch with the window open and see the rogue raccoon we have visiting us. Oh, the rogue raccoon. Yes, we have one of those. How often does that little critter visit? 01:14 Yeah, our little guy looks like he has a leg that is maybe hurt because he looks like he's hopping a little bit. I've been calling him hop along in my head. And we don't have a live trap big enough to catch him. Plus our cats would get caught instead of him. And my husband wants to end his suffering with a firearm. And I am okay with that. The problem is he's never where we can get to him. 01:43 They are smart. They're very smart. Yep. And I saw him actually face on toward me the other morning and the sun was coming up. He's so beautiful. I'm like, God damn it. I don't want to kill this animal. He's gorgeous. Yeah. Those are tough calls, aren't they? I hate it. I absolutely hate it. And I know it's part of the life that we have chosen, but I hate it so much. Pam, it makes me sad. Yeah. 02:10 Yeah, I know we've been there a couple times. don't have the beautiful weather. You have, but we get things off the pond and whatnot and it just breaks my heart every time. 02:23 Yeah, it's hard, but if we don't put him down, a car is going to hit him. And I don't know which is worse. So we'll see what happens. Okay. So tell me about yourself and about Mother Nature's apprentice. Ah, well, I'm, I was born and raised in Indiana. And actually I'm a dual citizen. I'm a Canadian and a U S citizen. Lived here in 02:52 until my early twenties and then found my way actually to Western Canada, the beautiful province of British Columbia, which is just north of Washington state and lived there for quite a while. But you know, as beautiful as Canada was, I mean, I've always loved nature and backpacking and an incredible geography there. You know, when you're born somewhere, that's still where you consider home. 03:22 So I found my way back to the Midwest and not Indiana though, my husband and I, you know, live as I said in Northern Kentucky and we have sort of three acres that we've reclaimed. I'm a wife obviously, a mom, a grandma. Our kids are grown. We've got a bunch of little ones running around and we love nature. 03:50 Professionally, I guess that's the other hat I wear. I have a PhD and earned PhD and I'm a nurse practitioner clinician and an epidemiologist where I'm also an adjunct prof here at Northern Kentucky University where I investigate winter joy, wellbeing and nature, how nature has such a wonderful, powerful impact on our health and wellbeing. 04:20 And you're an author too, right? Yes, that was unexpected. As an offshoot of a research study I did, which talked about wellness versus well-being and nature and extraordinary ornery, cetera, I decided to indulge in my passion for creative writing. So I started the blog, Leather Nature's Apprentice, and it talks about nature and 04:49 all the things I just mentioned and some funky kind of nature, quirky things too, because I am a science nut. But that kind of dovetailed into a book, which I can't believe I did. That's been a journey. You people were very, thankfully, very kind about the blog and developed a bit of a following. And I said, you should write a book. And I guess even more than that, at the same time when I was 05:18 presenting some of my research findings on well-being at conferences, it really resonated with people and I got asked to talk more and more. And I initially thought, you know, I'll publish this in an academic journal like most academics do. ...
