    Finding Calm on the Farm

    In this episode, I’m joined by Kristen Kelderman, the creator and calming voice behind Grounded: 5 Minute Farm Meditations. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pace of farm life, or wished you could carve out just a few quiet moments in your day, this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath. Kristen shares the story of how Grounded began, why she felt called to create short, accessible meditations for the agriculture community, and how the simplest moments on the farm can become powerful grounding practices. We talk about burnout, intuition, creativity, and the importance of finding softness in the middle of our busiest seasons. Whether you’re listening in the barn, on the road, or unwinding at the end of the day, this episode is your invitation to slow down and reconnect with yourself — even if only for five minutes. Tune in to hear Kristen’s wisdom, her gentle presence, and her passion for supporting farm women through mindful moments that truly matter.

    Pivoting with Purpose

    In this episode of Herd it Here First, Blythe sits down with her friend Jeannette — a loving, driven, and resilient woman who knows firsthand what it’s like when the farm plan changes. Jeannette grew up as a farmer kid, working alongside her family with every intention of taking over the farm one day. But while away at ag college, life took an unexpected turn — her dad decided to step back, and suddenly the future she had pictured for herself wasn’t there anymore. What followed was a journey of redefining identity, rediscovering passion, and realizing that even when we’re not farming the way we thought we would, we still belong in agriculture. This conversation is for every woman who’s ever felt like she had to pivot, start fresh, or find her place all over again. Grab your coffee, tune in, and join us for an honest talk about purpose, change, and the heart of being a “girl farmer.”

    Choosing Gratitude, Even On The Hard Days

    In this solo episode of Herd it Here First, I’m slowing things down to talk about gratitude — the simple practice of noticing the good in our everyday lives. In agriculture, it’s easy to get caught up in long days, challenges, and the unexpected. But when we pause to look around, there are always moments worth appreciating: the smell of fresh feed, a sunrise over the fields, or the people who walk alongside us in this wild world of farming. Join me as I share why gratitude matters, how it has shaped my own journey, and a few ways you can bring it into your daily routine. Whether you’re listening from the barn, the tractor, or your kitchen table, this episode is a reminder that small moments of gratitude can bring connection, perspective, and joy.
