Embracing Discomfort: The Catalyst for Change
Receive Our TX Soil Sisters Newsletter by Signing Up Here.
Hi, y’all! Johanna here from the TX Soil Sisters.
(Show below w/ links of things we talk about. Or skip my fluff and listen here.)
If you find yourself uncomfortable at most every turn these days, you're not alone. In this episode, the Soil Sisters wade through the idea and experiences of getting comfortable with discomfort.
We talk about tackling new and uncomfortable tasks - from starting a radio show, to learning holistic farm management, to participating in agriculture committees, and maintaining family land. And how it's all led to personal growth and excitement for the process.
This conversation touches on our efforts to become better stewards of the land, healing family relationships through shared projects, and the importance of advocating for agricultural changes.
We also share our recent experiences starting to use methylene blue as part of a daily wellness protocol and its impact on health.
Happy farming and healthy living, y’all!
Love,
Jo (and Crystal) ❤️
