Cutting Fences Podcast
As an occupational therapy student, I recognize the power of living a purposeful lifestyle and have grown up appreciating the agricultural lifestyle's purpose. My podcast aims to advocate for the incredible people in the agricultural population who have suffered injuries, accidents, or have disabilities. These individuals' challenges never hold them back from checking calves at 4:00 AM in the midst of a bitter winter storm or an overnight harvest shift and, most notably, from helping to feed this wonderful world we live in. The Cutting Fences Podcast is filled with these amazing individuals' stories, experiences, equipment, life hacks, and more. Farming and ranching are far from your average 9:00-5:00 job, and no short of this, the individuals featured on this podcast are filled with perseverance, grit, pride, and a wealth of wisdom. This is a space molded to cultivate compassion, empathy, and support. Join my guests and I in eliminating barriers and unit fields while we plant seeds of support to harvest humanity.
