Episode Description

Over the span of my lifetime I've journeyed through a heap of change and have been handed a tonne of teachings along the way.

And while most of the big changes I've endured have been intentional, absolutely my choice, some of them haven't ended as I would've wished.

Yet all of them, positive or not, have been memorable!

Every change we encounter imprints something on us - a lesson, a learning, a little nugget of wisdom, all offered to help us progress with more ease when making future change.

In this episode of Against The Grain I'm reflecting on 5 surprising lessons that have stayed with me from the times I've navigated big change.

Lessons that have humbled me, empowered me, even rattled me.

My hope is that through sharing my own personal experience, my insights can be of support to you when moving through a period of challenging change yourself.

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.
