146 - Cabin Fever in the Studio with Rita: The Way I Prefer to Pass the Winter Months

from The Barn Philosopher · host The Barn Philosopher

In this episode, Shelby sits down with Rita to talk about cabin fever — and why winter turns us all into slightly restless houseplants in need of sunlight. The conversation drifts (as the best ones do) into Rita’s tropical upbringing, where there was no winter to hunker down through, just a constant fight against the jungle reclaiming everything that didn’t move. We compare that to the Midwest’s seasonal reset, where frost does the pruning for you and boredom creeps in around February. Thankfully, the grandkids are a built-in cure for winter monotony. Between their projects, imaginations, and general chaos, cabin fever doesn’t stand much of a chance. A cozy chat about seasons, sanity, and how different landscapes shape different rhythms of life. Don't forget to rate, follow and share!! It's not like you have anything else to do...
