Here’s the thing - life is tough and it can leave us feeling pretty broken at times. But you don’t have to LIVE broken. Author and speaker, Mattie Jackson, is sitting down with inspiring authors, musicians, and entrepreneurs to uncover how they’re chasing the good in life and why they’re intentionally choosing joy even when life has knocked them down. Through personal stories and humorous encounters, these conversations are like sitting down with life-long friends – friends whose own courage to live joyfully will equip and encourage you to do the same. No matter the hurt you’ve experienced or what unknowns may lie ahead, there IS joy waiting for you - right here, right now. And Mattie is here to help you find it. This is the In-Joy Life Podcast.

Nature’s Lessons on Slowing Down & Living Well with Stephen Proctor

Are you tired of the constant noise, hustle, and angst of culture? Does the pace you’ve been keeping feel like it’s robbing all your joy and peace? Stephen Proctor is here to direct our eyes, ears, and minds back to one of the most powerful and accessible sources of revitalization — NATURE!

Stephen Proctor is a visual artist who specializes in landscape cinematography and aerial photography to curate calming, imaginative experiences. And in his new book, Wild Wonders: What Nature Tells Us About Slowing Down and Living Well, Stephen is lovingly calling us out back outdoors to the place where restoration is available and waiting. 

Stephen encourages readers to recognize how being outside offers us a renewed sense of awe and wonder for the Creator, draws us back into a more holistic and contemplative way of life, and restores a deeper awareness of the beautiful world around us.
