Dalia Monterroso, also known as The President of Chickenlandia, is a backyard chicken educator, entertainer, and author. When she’s not teaching in-person classes or doing seminars, you can find her on the popular YouTube Channel Welcome to Chickenlandia, her top-rated podcast Bawk Tawk, or her online course Backyard Chickens 101: A Chicken Course for Everyone.

In 2023, Dalia published her first book Let’s All Keep Chickens! A Down-to-Earth Guide to Natural Practices for Healthier Birds and a Happier World (Storey Publishing).

In this episode, Dalia and I discuss everything from raising chickens to growing up with two cultures to post-partum depression/anxiety and more! Dalia's honesty and humor will leave you feeling understood and inspired to create a life that you love with the ones you love!
