It’s been a long, hot minute since I last recorded Farm Life Psych, but we’re here now. In this episode, I’m checking in—not just with myself, but with you too. If you’ve been feeling the weight of dry conditions, long harvests, or just the constant juggle of farm, family, and life, this episode is for you.
I’ll share some of the struggles and lessons from the past few months, as well as a simpleself-check-in exercise to help you pause, reflect, and take small steps forward. Because when life feels relentless, sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply stop and notice.
🎧Tune in to hear:
✔️ A personal update on farm stress, mental load, and navigating burnout
✔️ A simpleself-check-in exercise to reconnect with yourself
✔️ Why we often avoid checking in—and what happens when we finally do
✔️ How to assess what’sworking andwhat’s not in your daily habits
✔️ Small, doable actions to help you manage stress and build resilience
🛑Take a moment to pause, check in, and take one small action for yourself today.
💬Let’s continue the conversation!
