This Isn’t Normal: Calling Out the Quiet Crisis in Rural Mental Health

In today's episode, I'm calling out the quiet crisis in rural mental health. So many of us in agriculture have had to numb ourselves just to get through the day. 

But that numbness didn't come out of nowhere. It came from surviving, and it's NOT sustainable. We can't pretend it isn't costing us something!

If you're listening today and you're carrying something heavy, please know that you don't have to wait until it breaks you. Reach out and let someone share the load with you, because you're NOT meant to do this alone!

In this episode, I cover:

• The alarming & heartbreaking suicide statistics impacting rural America
• Why “toughness” and numbness aren’t working + what rural communities need MORE of
• How to start honest conversations that go deeper than surface-level check-ins
• What we CAN do to support rural mental health + create real, safe spaces for ourselves & others
