What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “I am a yoga instructor, and my husband is a massage therapist. We often teach others to self-care and maintain healthy bodies, but neglect our needs. We operate the farm as a tool for resilience for our community and benefit the most from getting the support to keep our bodies in shape to complete chores, shear the sheep, etc.”
How I might use this $250 self-care award: ”I would use the award for 4 therapy sessions and 2 float tank sessions.”
Most important self-care needs that contribute to my well-being as a farmer: "Therapy has helped us to manage the stress of cancelled contracts and financial uncertainty.”
