## Resource

In episode 479 of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," Matt Payne talks with photographer and army veteran Nichole Vild about her unique journey from a 20-year military career to building a new life rooted in creativity and neuroscience. Nichole shares how her experiences moving around the world shaped her perspective, the role photography played in her transition out of the military, and her passion for the emerging field of neuroarts: the study of how creative and aesthetic experiences change the brain and enhance well-being. She discusses her new venture, Roaming Wild Adventures, which uses custom photo prompt cards and guided journals to strengthen curiosity, creativity, and emotional resilience (use code FSTOP79 - good June 22 -July 7). The conversation highlights the importance of getting outside, slowing down, and practicing mindful creativity as a strategy for navigating life’s transitions and building stronger neural connections.
