Episode Description

It can be both courageous and impressive when you bravely bite the bullet and make a big change in your life. When you finally make that bold move.

And it can also be tough, really tough, to then have things go to shit and it doesn’t work out as you had hoped or expected.

On this episode of Against The Grain I’m discussing the dilemma of dealing with changes that don’t go to plan. The challenges we face when we intentionally take the leap to make a big life change, when we’re the ones driving that change, yet things don’t work out in our favour.

Listen in to hear me talk about a time when I packed up my life, made a move interstate in search of warmer weather and to be closer to my family… and welp… nothing quite worked out as I had hoped.

It was a costly move. A move that resulted in me going financially backwards in a hurry, where I went from being flushed with funds at 40 to flat out broke at 41.

So what do you do when the shift you make shatters your stability?

Now you might be hoping I’ll provide you with the perfect remedy of what to do when you find yourself in this predicament, or in a similar sticky situation… that I’ll tell you THE THING you need to do.

But I don’t. And I won't. Why?

Well just as it wasn't ONE thing in particular that upended our well laid out plans... it wasn’t ONE thing that helped us stabilise our situation.

It was LOTS of things. And that’s the thing!

Against the Grain: The Farm Aid Podcast Jessica Ilyse Kurn and Michael Foley “Against the Grain” is the Farm Aid podcast, designed to bring the magic of Farm Aid’s annual festival to listeners year-round. Listeners will hear from artists and farmers, advocates and food experts, activists, and policymakers–all of whom are working towards building a more just and equitable farm and food system. Farm Aid’s Jessica Ilyse Kurn and Michael Stewart Foley will take you all over the country, from Farm Aid’s backstage to rural and urban farms and farmers’ markets. There, you’ll meet citizens fighting the industrial agriculture giants, holding the government accountable, and shifting the culture towards a food and farm model that is better for farmers, the planet and for all of us. This season, in our series Artists and Activism, we’ll talk to more than two dozen artists who are using their art and their voices as vehicles for political engagement and expression on issues that matter to them – and to all of us.Learn more at www.farmaid.org/podcast Against the Grain, or Against Nature by Joris-Karl Huysmans Loyal Books “THE BOOK THAT DORIAN GRAY LOVED AND THAT INSPIRED OSCAR WILDE”. Such is the enticing epigraph of one early translation of Huysmans’ cult novel of 1884, which is also routinely called the Bible of Decadence. Accurate descriptions, both, of this bizarre masterpiece which has reverberated ever since through high and popular culture. “Against Nature” (or in this version “Against The Grain”) explores to the furthest limit the life of the world-rejecting aesthete living a reclusive existence devoted entirely to artificial paradises of his own devising. This is no solemn tract, however: the book’s anti-hero Duc Jean Floressas Des Esseintes spectacularly fails to achieve his life’s work, as all his attempts to create worlds of perverse experience through synaesthesia and interior decoration prove ludicrously unsatisfying and injurious to health. An innocent tortoise also falls casualty to his theories, in the wonderful fifth chapter.
