In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kacee Bohle — farm girl turned leadership coach, founder of Agri Minds, homeschooling mom, and a powerful voice for the human side of agriculture.

Kacee shares candidly about her journey from corporate ag to entrepreneurship, and the pivotal moments — including deep personal loss — that made her rethink what a meaningful, healthy, sustainable life in agriculture truly looks like.

We dive into:
⭐ The Three B’s: Burnout, Boundaries & Balance
⭐ Why mindset is often the real bottleneck in farm and ranch life
⭐ The pressure so many land stewards feel to “push through” at the expense of themselves
⭐ How burnout affects marriages, families, and the next generation
⭐ What it looks like to shift old patterns and actually create a life that fits your season
⭐ The difference between a request and a boundary (and why most of us confuse the two!)
⭐ How to navigate generational dynamics, communication challenges, and the need for change
⭐ Why self-awareness is one of the most underrated — and essential — tools in agriculture

Kacee brings humility, humor, and hard-won wisdom to this conversation. Whether you’re a farmer, rancher, homesteader, or supporting the ag industry in any way, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how vital your inner landscape is to the health of your land, your relationships, and your future.

This episode is a reminder that regeneration begins within — and that honoring your own boundaries, needs, and emotional rhythms is just as important as caring for the soil beneath your feet.

Kacee is hosting AgriMinds Summit in Ohio, March 24-25, 2026. For more detail: Summit - Kacee Bohle Coaching

We make countless decisions every day on our land, in our business, and in our lives—but most of us were never taught how to make them effectively. In this episode, I share the decision-making framework that completely changed how I approach every choice: the Holistic Management Decision Testing Questions.

I'll walk you through my own journey from making reactive, problem-focused decisions to using a framework that considers the whole picture. You'll hear how I went from spending money on symptoms (like spraying weeds annually) to addressing root causes with one-time investments that actually moved my operation forward.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why traditional decision-making fails in complex land management systems
• The costly mistakes that happen when we only focus on the part, not the whole
• How poor decisions lead to second-guessing, analysis paralysis, and burnout
• The framework I've used for years to make confident decisions that align with my values and goals
• Why monitoring your decisions is just as important as making them

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by choices, uncertain about how to move forward, or frustrated that your decisions aren't getting the results you want, this episode will give you a new way to think about every decision you make.

Ready to stop second-guessing yourself? Join me for The Decision Lab workshop on November 19th at 12:00 CST, where we'll work through the seven Decision Testing Questions together in an interactive, hands-on format.

Your land, your finances, and your peace of mind will thank you.

In this raw and honest episode, Christine shares why she's changing how she records - because the "polished" version wasn't the real her. You're getting the authentic Christine from now on.

She opens up about her scattered homesteading phase: the 15 versions of chicken tractors, learning to harness a draft horse with a picture book, and the annual W2 review wondering "where did all my money go?" Sound familiar?

After working with hundreds of land stewards, Christine has identified the #1 problem: we get so excited about being on the land that we just start with everything. We buy the chickens, the cows, the sheep - all sorts of projects going on at the same time. We go to conferences, come back with lists of cool things to do, and either try none of them or try to do them all.

The result? Scattered decisions, wasted money, burnout, and land that becomes a burden instead of the sanctuary we dreamed of.

Christine vulnerably shares how discovering the Holistic Goal framework changed everything - including the difficult realization that led to her divorce when she and her husband discovered they wanted completely different futures.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why most land stewards feel scattered and overwhelmed despite their passion
• The consequences of working without understanding what you want and where you're going
• How the Holistic Goal transforms decision-making from second-guessing to confident filtering
• Why your operation should be uniquely yours, reflecting your own gifts and preferences
• How to get your whole management team aligned toward a common destination

Ready to stop being scattered? Christine introduces her Find Your Compass program - 10 days to define your Holistic Goal so every decision moves you toward the life you actually want on your land.

The Return of the Feminine to the Land

In this heartfelt solo episode, Christine Martin, rancher and Holistic Management® Certified Educator, opens an honest conversation about the energy agriculture has been missing — the feminine.

She reflects on her own journey from trying to control nature to learning to listen to it, sharing how the feminine energy of presence, intuition, and relationship is what allows both land and people to thrive.

This isn’t about gender — it’s about balance. It’s about restoring rhythm, compassion, and connection to the way we grow food and care for the Earth.

If you’ve ever felt the quiet pull to do things differently — to lead, steward, and live from a deeper place of love and reciprocity — this episode will remind you:
 the feminine never left agriculture… she’s just been waiting for us to slow down enough to hear her again.

⭐ Listen now to rediscover the sacred relationship between the feminine and the land.

In this brief episode, I share a recent pasture walk with my NRCS grazing specialist, we spotted Indian Grass and other natives already thriving — no expensive seed needed.

I share how simple grazing management can unlock the seed bank, and why shifting from “What do I fix?” to “What moves us toward our desired goal?” changes everything.

I’ll go deeper into these mindset shifts in the Regenerative & Resilient Pathway Masterclass — September 15–17, live and virtual, 12:00 PM CST each day.

What if the struggles you face on your ranch—or in your life—aren’t actually “out there”? In this episode, Christine shares a bold but freeing perspective: struggles don’t exist outside of you. They’re not weeds, armyworms, bills, or the lack of rain. They’re invitations—feedback that shows up so you can grow.

Christine explores how what feels like a crisis to one land steward might be an opportunity to another, and how reframing struggles as feedback transforms them from roadblocks into lessons. You’ll hear personal stories, practical examples, and a reminder that nature is always communicating if we’re willing to listen.

👉 If this conversation sparks something for you and you’re ready to stop symptom-chasing and start managing the whole, join Christine for the Regenerative & Resilient Pathway Masterclass kicking off on September 15th. This is where you’ll learn how to interpret the signals from your land, shift your mindset, and create the systems that move you toward thriving stewardship.

Are weeds, armyworms, and leafcutter ants really the problem on your land—or are they trying to tell you something deeper?

In this episode, Christine shares a personal story from a recent class where the proposed solution to pests was spraying chemicals. She challenges that mindset and invites you to look at weeds, worms, and ants not as enemies, but as messengers of land health and ecosystem function.

You’ll learn why these “problems” keep coming back, how they point to root causes like mineral imbalances, plant stress, and simplified ecosystems, and what it means to manage the whole system instead of just chasing symptoms.

Tune in to discover how listening to what nature is showing you can reduce frustration, restore balance, and give you more confidence in your stewardship.

At this year’s preconference Grazing School at Small Family Farmers and Food System Conference, organized by Small Producers Initiative and Farm and Freedom Alliance, at Texas State University, three powerhouse organizations—Understanding Ag, Noble Research Institute, and Holistic Management International—taught regenerative grazing together for the first time. Each brought a unique history, language, and approach, yet all agreed on one powerful truth: your mindset, not just the application of grazing principles, may be the biggest factor in your land’s productivity and profitability. 

In this episode, Christine shares her takeaways from the event, explores how these different perspectives complement each other, and explains why developing a holistic mindset is essential for confident, context-based decision-making in land stewardship.

You’ve done the work—your land is thriving.
So why are you still lying awake at night, second-guessing every decision?

In this powerful solo episode, Christine Martin exposes a hidden truth in regenerative agriculture: resilient land doesn't guarantee a resilient decision maker. And that gap? It’s where most stewards get stuck.

Christine shares real-world stories of ranchers who faced the same challenges—yet experienced wildly different outcomes—not because of their land, but because of their inner capacity to lead under pressure.

You’ll learn:

• Why “doing everything right” on the land still leaves you feeling fragile
• How conditioned stress responses silently undermine your success
• What true decision-making resilience looks like—and how to build it

If this resonates, don’t miss Christine’s free 3-day masterclass, Regenerate and Resilient Pathway, starting July 22 at 12:00 CST. It’s designed to help you strengthen the one part of your system that regenerative education often forgets: you.

Your land is ready. It’s time you are, too.

Two ranchers. Same drought. Same tools. Completely different outcomes.

Why did one thrive while the other barely hung on?

In this solo episode, Christine reveals the hidden factor that separates thriving land stewards from those constantly stuck in stress and survival: decision-making confidence. You’ll learn why having the right framework—not just more knowledge—makes all the difference when crisis hits.

From the screw worm outbreak to chronic droughts and floods, Christine breaks down how most land managers fall into reductionist thinking, reacting to symptoms instead of addressing root causes. But there’s another way—holistic decision-making that builds true resilience.

Tune in for:

• Real examples of land stewards navigating crisis differently
• How to tell if you’re stuck in the “firefighting” loop
• Why knowledge isn’t enough without a framework for action
• A powerful mindset shift that changes everything

🎓 Ready to manage from confidence instead of fear?

Join Christine for the free 3-day masterclass, Regenerative and Resilient Pathway, happening July 22–24. Learn how to shift from reactive firefighting to clear, confident, and regenerative leadership—no matter what challenges come your way.
