"I worked 16+ hours a day and still had to go home and work because I have a family. So there wasn't enough time for me to sustain myself as well as do all the things for all the people. And I realized that one day while walking to work. I never will forget it. I sat down at my computer around 7:30 in the morning and started to read emails. I got to one from my boss and I started a new thread titled "Resignation." This is how Christa Barfield changed course from exhausted to excited. Tune in to this episode of SB to hear how Christa built her Philly businesses, Farmer Jawn and Viva Leaf Tea, around food justice, regenerative agriculture and a passion for community healthcare.
