In this episode I reflect on my time away from the farm, and the importance of taking a step back and reflecting while also finding inspiration.  It's so easy to get consumed by the workload, but it's so important to give your self time to step back and admire your journey and dream about the future.  

I've been sick this week, but I promise I won't disappoint.  In this episode I'm scrolling thru my phone of ALLLL the flower pictures and highlighting the ones I liked and those that may have been a little disappointing.

In this episode we talk about owning YOUR journey.  It's so easy to get stuck in the comparison trap, and look on social media and measure your journey against someone who is in their Season 20.  We are all different and I encourage you to be proud of what you're working towards.
