010 | Finding Your Balance Between Farm and Family with Mary Pat Sass

In today’s episode I had the joy of chatting with Mary Pat Sass about finding your balance between farm and family. Join us as we chat farm wife - to - farm wife about setting boundaries, working as a team, and taking care of ourselves during the busy seasons. We discussed how communication is key in discovering and living the life that brings you joy and purpose.  Mary Pat, “MP” is a midwestern farm wife and mom from Northern Illinois. She left her corporate career in agriculture technology to be a stay-at-home mom and become more involved on the family farm.  What she thought was her dream job turned out to be the one thing keeping her from living her dream life. Now, she works to inspire others to find what makes them happy and live a joy-filled life.  In this episode about finding your balance between farm and family, we cover:  Our journeys back to the farm and what it was like coming back to our husbands’ operations  The conversation around taking breaks, resting, and prioritizing family time The importance of compassion and constant communication with your spouse and other family members  Readjusting to each new season on the farm Ways to set yourself and your family up for success and thrive as a farm wife   Connect with Mary Pat Sass: Follow on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube Join her email newsletter Sign up for the Thrive Through Harvest Workshop Check out her website and The Cheesery website   Resources & Links: ASCEND Mastermind Retreat Details Get your #YouDoYou82 tracker and join the Facebook community!
