The topic this week goes into a discussion on the importance of living authentically rather than just 'checking the boxes'. Dawn emphasizes the importance of living life for the experiences rather than ticking off to-do lists or comparing oneself to others on social media. Dawn shares her personal experiences, including finding joy in seemingly ordinary life activities like receiving baby pigs and arranging a family trip to Disney. She discusses why we often get burnout and shares thoughts on mindful spending habits. Dawn also introduces the 'Ripple Effect' sessions she offers to help women who feel stuck establish what truly matters to them in their lifestyle.

Life Balance and the Power of Seasons: Overcoming Perfectionism and Embracing Progress. In this episode of 'Harvesting Her Way', I talk extensively about overcoming the concern of feeling like you can't have it all and managing life balance. I share my personal experiences, discuss the concept of adjusting to different seasons in life, and suggest ways to make space for what one desires. There is the importance of writing down fears and strategizing on how to overcome them. Women are faced with deep wounds from societal pressures. Releasing those “thoughts” out on paper makes us realize how untrue those are, we can also see patterns that some of what we're going through are seasons in life and how we are capable of many great things at once.

In episode 78 of Harvesting Her Way, I share my thoughts and strategies for the new year under my theme, 'Living on Purpose'. In this episode, we cover: The need for decluttering both physical and mental spaces to make room for meaningful experiences. An intent to be disciplined, resist distractions, and avoid getting into analysis paralysis mode are some of the ways she plans to live more purposefully this year. Learning from past experiences, letting go of others' opinions, and using your human design for decision-making. This year I'm focusing on organizing time better, stepping away from scattered energy, having curiosity in health, and spending more time with family. Having curiosity in personal growth and its vitality in learning more about herself and the world. I encourage listeners to manifest their goals and set a daily, weekly, or monthly intention, preferably backed by a vision board. ----------- Helpful resources: Want to stay in touch like besties?

In episode 76 of 'Harvesting Her Way', I, your host Dawn Marie, discuss the theme of embracing one's intuition & shedding societal ‘shoulds'. Societal pressures often make us do things we 'should' do, rather than the things that we 'could' do and want to do. Referencing the book 'Find Your F*ck Yeah', by Alexis Rockley, I emphasize the importance of intrinsically driven motivations and re-evaluating responsibilities that may be causing unnecessary stress. Also covered are the different expectations and tasks we take on: roles as mothers and wives. There is so much importance in delegating tasks, identifying internal vs external motivators, and embracing your unique self.

Lately, I've been digging into my WHY again as a person, and for business planning. There is magic in reliving through some of the best times of your life & especially the worst. Think of the top 3 things that were difficult, then jot down 3 life events that brought you so much joy. Write out in detail; the sights, smells feelings then and now about each of those Within those memories is your why you do what you do, why you reach for goals. The message that comes to the surface is your golden WHY. They solidify your scars of living through and what it was all for.

Abby left her 20-year career in corporate retail last fall to come back to our farm and focus on The Ginger Hill Farmer. Abby & her husband are operating as first-generation farmers. The Shipleys grow corn, soybeans, and barley, and feed out Holstein steers. Although Abby's been around her farm for many years, she was never able to be fully involved in it because of her off the farm job. It's been a learning curve for sure but it's allowed her to somewhat rediscover herself and what she loves most, (being outside and on their farm). Abby states she's excited, and maybe a little nervous, for her first harvest actually out doing the things!
