About this episode
This is a short preview episode with Monica Stahlmann, who writes under the pen name Leokadia George. Monica is a children’s book author, mental health therapist, and wolf conservationist. The full conversation will be released soon.
In this mini episode, we briefly touch on Monica’s children’s book series centered on wolves, including Trumpet, a critically endangered Mexican gray wolf. We also open the door to why wolves are often misunderstood and how storytelling can invite curiosity rather than fear.
We lightly explore how wolves live in family groups, why listening matters in a time of strong opinions, and why connection, whether through nature, story, or sound, still has a place in our lives.
This episode is meant as a teaser. The deeper stories, history, and reflections will be shared in the full interview when it drops in the coming days.
Takeaways
• Wolves are often misunderstood, especially in popular stories
• Story and nature can open space for curiosity and dialogue
• Listening is a simple place to begin connection
Reflection
What might shift if you stayed curious instead of certain?
