In this episode of the AGRIMINDS® Podcast, Kacee sits down with former dairy farmer and leadership coach David Jones to talk about what happens when the life you’ve built… quietly stops working for you.

Together, they dig into the messy, honest middle ground between “this is fine” and “something has to change”—especially for those in agriculture, family businesses, or roles that were “laid out” for them long before they ever chose them.

You’ll hear them explore:

• What it feels like to realize the life you’re in doesn’t quite fit anymore

• The guilt, pressure, and responsibility that come with leaving a family business or long-held identity

• Why so many of us stay in a “C-minus life” because it’s familiar and “good enough”

• How pivots don’t have to be 180°—they can be a one-degree shift that still honors your roots

• How awareness (through writing or talking it out) becomes a bridge to real choice

• The difference between mentors, therapists, consultants, and coaches when you’re trying to figure out your next step

• What it means to hold two truths at once: you’re perfect as you are and you’re allowed to want something different

This is a grounded, hopeful conversation for anyone who’s ever thought, “I should be grateful… but I can’t shake the feeling there’s something more aligned for me.”

Burnout isn’t just about doing too much, it’s about the weight of doing all the things at once.

In this episode of the AGRIMINDS® Podcast, Kacee sits down with Scout Foster, Director of Strategic Storytelling at McFarland Productions, to unpack her 11-month research study on burnout in marketing and how those lessons apply to agriculture, leadership, and everyday life.

Together, they explore:

• The real signs and symptoms of burnout (it’s more than just being tired).

• Why even the work you love can leave you drained if you don’t pause and reset.

• The overlap between home and work life—and why separating them isn’t always realistic.

• Boundaries, delegation, and small shifts that can help you reclaim your energy.

• Practical solutions like rotating on-call schedules, unplugging from work apps, and taking true breaks that restore—not drain—you.

You’ll also hear stories that bring this research to life, from hosting family holidays to raising kids and running a business, and why creating space to recharge is essential no matter your role.

• Burnout can stem from overwork, but also from doing the wrong work at the wrong time.

• Loving what you do doesn’t make you immune—without breaks, even passions can exhaust you.

• Boundaries are only effective if you stick to them (and drop the guilt).

• Small changes—like shifting routines, delegating chores, or shutting off email notifications—add up to big impact.

What if understanding why people do what they do could change the way you lead, work, and connect?

In this episode of the AGRIMINDS® Podcast, Kacee sits down with Jacki Langlois, an Illinois farm girl turned global agriculture professional and founder of Gen D Consulting.

Together, they dive into the concept of cultural intelligence (CQ)—what it is, why it matters, and how it shows up both across borders and right here at home.

From adjusting to new regions in the U.S. to navigating two-hour lunches in France, Jacki shares powerful stories of how cultural awareness can shape relationships, leadership, and even business success. You’ll hear how she helps clients bridge generational gaps, overcome burnout, and communicate with confidence.

Whether you’re leading a farm crew, running an ag business, or working across global teams, this conversation will challenge you to pause, pay attention, and consider how cultural intelligence can transform your work and life.

• The difference between IQ, EQ, and CQ (cultural intelligence)

• Why cultural intelligence isn’t just about traveling abroad—it matters from county to county, farm to farm

• Stories of adapting to different work cultures in France, the Netherlands, and the U.S.

• How awareness, communication, and the “power of the pause” can strengthen leadership in agriculture

• Practical strategies for setting the tone (Jacki’s “thermostat mindset”) and avoiding reactive leadership

Jacki Langlois is the founder of Gen D Consulting, where she equips leaders and teams with the tools to improve communication, set boundaries, and increase cultural and generational awareness in the workplace. With roots on a family farm in Illinois and global experience in sales, marketing, and agronomy, Jacki brings a unique perspective on what it takes to thrive in today’s connected (and often digital) world. She’s also a keynote speaker and coach, passionate about helping people rediscover their spark.

Have you ever finally caught up… only to feel anxious that you must be missing something?

That’s where I’ve been lately. For the first time in my career, I feel “caught up” — and instead of feeling relaxed, I’ve been restless and a little on edge.

In agriculture, we’re conditioned to believe our worth is tied to what we produce. If we’re not filling every minute with output, we start to wonder if we’re falling behind or dropping the ball.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why that “need to produce” mindset is so ingrained in ag life

• 3 steps to check if you’re actually dropping the ball or just uncomfortable with stillness

• How to choose intentional action instead of busywork when you do have space

• Why slowing down might be the most productive thing you do this season

You’re doing all the things—so why do you still feel like you’re failing?

In this episode, I’m sharing the real reason burnout might not be going away (even after the checklist is done).

Spoiler: it’s not a productivity issue. It’s your nervous system stuck in fight or flight.

I’ll share the story of how I realized my son’s behavior wasn’t defiance, it was dysregulation, and how it mirrored what was happening in me.

We’ll talk about:

• What burnout really is (and isn’t)

• Why your body doesn’t feel safe to slow down

• Signs you’re stuck in a chronic stress cycle

• A simple breathing tool you can use today

• And how we’re digging into this at the AGRIMINDS® Summit

If you’ve been snapping, pushing, or crashing, and wondering why rest isn’t working, this one’s for you.

Welcome back to The AgriMinds Podcast — where we talk about real life, real growth, and the real challenges that come with being in agriculture.

In today’s episode, your host Kacee Bohle takes a deep dive into something we all face: comparison.

We ask the hard questions:

• Is comparison always a bad thing?

• Can it be used as a tool for growth?

• And how do we reframe it so that it makes us better — not bitter?

You’ll hear:
✅ How outward comparison can lead to emotions like resentment, guilt, or bitterness
✅ The importance of accurately naming your emotions (like the difference between envy and jealousy) — a key lesson from Week 6: Emotions in AGRIMINDS
✅ How to shift your focus inward and compare yourself only to a past version of you
✅ A powerful mindset from Atomic Habits: “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become.”

This episode also includes a personal story (spoiler: it involves a new Chevy Tahoe and a moment of unexpected envy) and practical tips on making small, intentional choices that build a life you're proud of — not one based on someone else’s highlight reel.

💡 Ready for more?AGRIMINDS dives deeper into these conversations with a step-by-step structure to help you align your emotions, habits, and mindset — so you can grow in ways that matter, both in the field and at home.

In this episode, we’re getting real about the kind of burnout that shows up even when you’re doing what you care about — and why rest or time off isn’t always the solution.

• “I’m tired, but I don’t know what to do about it…”

We’ll talk through:

• What burnout really looks like (and why it’s not just about being busy)

• Why mindset might be draining you more than your to-do list

• What to do if you can’t delegate or take a vacation right now

• And one simple exercise you can try this week to shift your energy

You’ve asked it quietly. Maybe you’ve even googled it late at night: Should I quit my job?
In this episode, we’re digging into the real reasons that question shows up—burnout, misalignment, shifting seasons—and how to know whether it’s time to walk away or simply realign.
I’ll walk you through how to unpack what’s really behind your desire to leave, how to know if you’re running from something or toward something, what to have in place before you quit, and how to find peace even when staying feels hard.
We’re also talking family farms, expectations, and the weight of legacy—and why staying or leaving doesn’t define your worth.
If you’ve been wrestling with this decision, you’re not alone—and this episode is for you.

We often blame time for the things we’re not doing — “If I just had more time, I’d finally ______.” But in this powerful episode, Kacee flips the script and asks a different question: What if time isn’t the issue at all? What if what you really need… is clarity?

Drawing from her coaching experience in the ag industry, Kacee explores how misaligned priorities, mental clutter, and decision fatigue might be what’s actually standing in your way. She shares why chasing more time won’t solve the deeper problem — and how getting clear on what matters most can unlock the energy and focus you’ve been missing.

You’ll also hear about a brand-new option for ag professionals looking for growth on their own terms: AGRIMINDS® Essential — a flexible, self-paced version of her most impactful program.

If you’re in a season of "go-go-go" and wondering how to reclaim your time, energy, and peace — this episode is your starting point.

In this episode, Kacee dives into one of the most common challenges she sees in her coaching clients: feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next.

Through the real-life story of a former client, Kacee shares how taking one small, aligned step—not overthinking—led to a career shift filled with purpose.

She introduces the Ikigai framework as a tool for finding fulfillment and reminds listeners that clarity isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we create through action. If you’ve been stuck in indecision, overwhelmed by choices, or just craving a clearer path forward, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Feeling stuck is normal—but staying stuck doesn’t have to be.

• Clarity comes after action, not before it.

• The Ikigai framework can help you align your work with your purpose.

• You don’t need to overhaul your life—just start by saying yes to one small thing that lights you up.

• AGRIMINDS® is designed to help ag professionals gain clarity and momentum—on their terms.
