We move from a smooth switch to corn and a smarter bagging setup into a frank talk on burnout, the healing pull of nature, and why community support keeps both people and farms alive. Small rain, small signs, big meaning, and a reminder to reach out when the room goes dark.

• bean finish and corn bagging workflow for efficiency
• roles for the team and kids to cut idle time
• reframing pauses as part of the process
• a needed rest triggered by a small rain
• speaking on burnout and using nature to heal
• years-long climb out of darkness and what helped
• the power of one listener who sits without judgment
• disconnection from land and rising anxiety and perfectionism
• support for family farms and food freedom
• local buying as better nourishment and better economics
• blessings as daily signs to notice and act on
