Shownotes
On today's episode, I have Emily Matzke as a guest! One of the most beautiful things about Emily is she’s very clear on what she wants to do with her life. She always knew she was meant to be in agriculture - she really is her happiest and freest self when she’s involved with the farm. Emily has been super intentional about following her passions and choosing to do work that lights her up, instead of staying stuck in a traditional job that did just the opposite. She continues to do a variety of work in agriculture, and she loves showing others a complete 360 view of what life can look like in this space.
Emily is laser-focused on building a life with intention, and she is totally your go-to girl when it comes to agriculture and farm life. She is all about redefining rural-ish living and cultivating change in our world today. I know you’re absolutely going to LOVE hearing Emily’s story, and all of the goodness she has to share!
In this episode, we will cover:
- Emily’s early, cherished memories on her grandparents’ dairy farm, to her continued desire to have a career in agriculture
- ‘Jumping without a net’ and going all in to pursue your goals and passions
- Creating an inviting and relatable space for people both online and in the local community to learn about agriculture
- What ‘rural-ish’ living looks like for Emily, and how she shares that with others
- The importance of leaning into and embodying your own, unique identity vs. trying to fit yourself into someone else’s box of you
- Changing the conversations by bringing empathy, compassion, and curiosity to the table
- Confidently leaning into the real, authentic YOU
