In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when calm becomes disconnection. What we often call calm isn't really calm at all. On the outside, it looks steady and strong, but inside? It can feel tight, numb, or completely disconnected - it's what I like to call "comfortably numb."

This is what so many of us in agriculture are taught - be tough, hold it together, and keep going (no matter what). But when calm becomes disconnection, we lose touch with ourselves AND the people around us.

True calm comes from a regulated nervous system. It's the kind of peace that allows you to think, feel, connect, and actually be present.

In this episode, I cover:

• What true calm really means + how it differs from disconnection
• Why we often mistake being calm for being disconnected
• How to recognize the physical & emotional signs of true calm vs. shutdown
• Practical ways to come back from a freeze or shutdown + reconnect with yourself and others
