Shownotes

The podcast is getting a new name, and branching out to some more hands-on, useful resistance topics. Resisting in the garden (including balconies and indoors!) and kitchen, while protecting your mind. This is resistance.

So now this show is also going to help you eat during these wild times.

If you're Canadian, this one is especially for you!

Check out this quick note about what is happening with the show.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back.

2

::

I've got some news to share, so I'm

3

::

excited to announce that I'll be changing the

4

::

name and shifting the focus of this show.

5

::

Recently, I have been developing another project, and

6

::

I realized that the themes and the goals

7

::

between both of these things were becoming really

8

::

similar.

9

::

It felt natural as the next step to

10

::

combine these two efforts into something new, focused,

11

::

and hopefully even more helpful for you all.

12

::

So moving forward, this podcast will branch out

13

::

to a couple new topics and be called

14

::

Toque and Trowel.

15

::

So what's Toque and Trowel all about?

16

::

Well, at its heart, it's about finding resilience

17

::

and empowerment in everyday actions.

18

::

I believe that growing a food garden can

19

::

be an act of resistance, creating healthy, nutritious

20

::

and affordable meals, maybe even using what you've

21

::

grown or simple, really easy to find budget

22

::

-friendly ingredients from grocery stores or growers of

23

::

your choice.

24

::

Well, that's resistance too.

25

::

And maybe most important, protecting your mental well

26

::

-being, especially when life feels super overwhelming or

27

::

you're burnt out or you're just really busy.

28

::

That's absolutely a form of resistance and what

29

::

we've been exploring on this podcast.

30

::

We'll be discussing practical ways to do all

31

::

of this.

32

::

We'll also be weaving in a focus on

33

::

supporting Canadian gardeners, producers, and communities, which feels

34

::

really important to me right now.

35

::

And I'm probably not alone on this.

36

::

I'm genuinely excited about the new direction and

37

::

hope you'll join me on this journey with

38

::

Toque & Trowel.

39

::

Thanks for listening and I can't wait to

40

::

share the new episodes with you.
