Let’s be real for a minute…

Being a woman right now is a lot.
The pressure to keep up, hold it together, stay informed, raise good humans, show up at work, be present at home… and somehow still take care of yourself?

And then layer in politics, the constant news cycle, and everything happening in the world… it’s exhausting.

No wonder your nervous system feels fried.

This is your invitation to step out of the noise—and come back to yourself.

Spring break is usually for beaches and naps, but these Warren Wilson College students chose... rakes and goat shenanigans. We’ll take it! 🌾🐐
Huge thanks to Dr. Sarah Himmelheber and her Warren Wilson College Care Farming class for spending their Spring Break with us! These rockstars tackled wind storm debris and leaf piles like pros. Of course, Jelly Georgia provided the “entertainment” by head-butting every volunteer she could find. 🐏💥 Consider it a very firm farm welcome! We’re so grateful for the help and the laughs. 😄

We had an ice skating rink installed for the animals at the farm for the last couple days. ⛸️ 🧊Ice, ice baby! They didn’t like it so much. I didn’t either. Farm chores are not fun on ice. 🥶 , , , , ,
