In this solo episode of Farm Life Psych with Steph Schmidt, Steph returns after a break to share a powerful yet simple idea she’s leaning into right now—finding the AND.
Join farmer and psychologist (and mum of 3 amazing boys), Steph Schmidt, as she shares practical, paddock-tested strategies to navigate life on the land.
Life on the land is full of challenges—especially with the ongoing drought and uncertainty so many are facing across Australia. But amidst the stress, there can also be strength, connection, even tiny sparks of joy.
Steph unpacks what the AND means, why it matters, and how you can start practicing it today using three powerful steps:
Acknowledge the hard
Notice the joy
Do what matters
Whether you're in the thick of seeding or navigating another hard season, this episode offers a compassionate check-in and some practical, doable tools to help you show up for what matters—without ignoring the struggle.
