Living the Dream: Crofting, Motherhood and Saying “Stuff It” with Sally Crowe from BBC This Farming Life

In this uplifting Soulful Valley Podcast episode, Katie Carey speaks with Sally, a crofter, single mum by choice, entrepreneur, and star of BBC Scotland’s This Farming Life (Series 7).

Sally shares her journey from chronic illness and burnout to consciously creating the life she truly wanted—running her own croft in the Highlands, raising her son William, and building multiple income streams from farming with creativity, resilience, and humour.

We explore:

🌱 What it really means to be a crofter and how Sally built her dream life from the ground up

🌱 Saying “stuff it” to fear, doubt, and limitations—and taking bold leaps into opportunity

🌱 Balancing motherhood, farming, and entrepreneurship as a single parent

🌱 The challenges of perimenopause and how it reshapes self-belief and business

🌱 Behind the scenes of This Farming Life—from filming to worldwide recognition

🌱 Sally’s message for anyone ready to stop waiting and start living life with zero limits

Her story is raw, funny, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that you don’t need to wait until you’re “ready”—you just need to start.
