Shownotes

In this episode, I share a personal moment where I realized something felt off, even though I had built a life and business I thought I wanted. I walk through what it looked like to feel distracted, mentally overwhelmed, and disconnected despite choosing this path, and why that experience is more common than we admit in agriculture.

I break down what burnout actually looks like beyond just being tired, and why the typical advice to rest or take time off isn't always realistic in agriculture. I walk you through how burnout builds through repeated patterns like overcommitting, second-guessing, and constantly reacting instead of leading with intention. I also share practical ways to start shifting out of burnout by building awareness, pausing, simplifying priorities, and making small changes that create a more sustainable way of operating.

What's covered in this episode:

  • What hidden burnout actually looks like in agriculture
