Embracing Discomfort: The Catalyst for Change

If you find yourself uncomfortable at every turn these days, you're not alone. In this episode, the Soil Sisters wade through the idea and experience of getting comfortable with discomfort. They 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 their efforts to be better stewards of the land, healing family relationships through shared projects, and the importance of advocating for agricultural changes. The Soil Sisters also touch on the benefits of methylene blue as part of a daily wellness protocol and its impact on health. This conversation originally aired on KLKT-LP 107.9 Radio Lockhart.
