#5 Caroline Noble: Harvard Pre-Med on Following Intuition, the Power of Food, and a Semester Learning Regenerative Agriculture
Full Show Notes Here.
From San Anselmo in the San Francisco Bay Area, Caroline is the captain of the Harvard-Radcliffe heavyweight crew team, studies human developmental and regenerative biology on the pre-med track and has used that academic interest in her volunteering in the McKinley Lab - studying how tissues in the endometrium regenerate - and her biotech consulting role last summer.
More interesting than what she does though, in my opinion, is how she thinks about what she’s doing. In an environment that puts pressure on doing what gets extrinsically rewarded, Caroline has recently come to not only listen to, but also follow, her intuition in a direction that is more intrinsically rewarding.
For her semester off due to the COVID-19 pandemic this past fall, she followed the little voice in her head and feeling in her chest that told her working on a farm to learn regenerative agriculture might be exactly what she needed. As you can probably guess, we dig into how she made that “against the grain” decision and how that has largely shifted her perspective on feeling content.
On top of that, in this conversation we talk about the role food and other daily practices played in overcoming her health setbacks, what she learned living by herself in a cabin for the entire fall, what exactly regenerative agriculture and ranching is, and so much more. But the thread through it all is following intuition. An intangible concept that we all possess and one Caroline has made me deeply reconsider and begin to listen to.
