What self-care and well-being mean to me as a farmer: “Self-care means giving time and space to strengthen our mind and bodies, and also the space needed to rest and rehabilitate.”
How I might use this $100 self-care award: “I would use the award to cover some co-pays for therapy. I want to work on managing farm related stress and anxiety.”
