Breaking the Silence: Men’s Mental Health Matters with Justin Kallusky

In this episode of Talk is Sheep, host Kyle Stelter sits down with Justin Kallusky for an honest, vulnerable conversation about men’s mental health, the pressures men face, and the healing power of time spent in wild places.

Kyle and Justin unpack the cultural expectations around “being a man,” the stigma that keeps so many guys silent, and why asking for help is actually one of the bravest things you can do. Justin shares his own mental health journey, how the outdoors became a lifeline, and how conservation and community have given him renewed purpose.

Together, they explore how wild places, wildlife, and genuine community can support emotional well-being—and why talking openly about mental health could be one of the most important conservation tools we have.
