Choosing Gratitude, Even On The Hard Days

In this solo episode of Herd it Here First, I’m slowing things down to talk about gratitude — the simple practice of noticing the good in our everyday lives. In agriculture, it’s easy to get caught up in long days, challenges, and the unexpected. But when we pause to look around, there are always moments worth appreciating: the smell of fresh feed, a sunrise over the fields, or the people who walk alongside us in this wild world of farming.

Join me as I share why gratitude matters, how it has shaped my own journey, and a few ways you can bring it into your daily routine. Whether you’re listening from the barn, the tractor, or your kitchen table, this episode is a reminder that small moments of gratitude can bring connection, perspective, and joy.
