Opening Thought

Who has felt anxious in the last few weeks??

• Stop trying to feel better
• Build a life that steadies you
• Anxiety = unused capability
• Holler Hub: people working together
• Being useful calms people
• Idaho skiing
• Weather, terrain, attention
• Know when to push, when not to
• Preparedness without panic
• Winter storm came through
• Systems absorbed stress
• Humans stayed calm
• That's what preparedness is for
• Choose what grows
• Skills, systems, people
• Pull what destabilizes you
• Spring Workshop
• Hands-on
• Calm isn't something you wait for
• Calm is something you build
• 2026 = steady people

Today, I am joined by Jessica Arno, The Combat Midwife, to discuss keeping women and children alive when you can't just drive to the hospital. More that that, we will discuss how building these skills is a foundation for improving health even if you CAN drive to the hospital.

Today, I am joined by Kerry Brown from Strong Roots Resources to talk through the new approach we are taking with the LFTN food forest and how he is using mother nature to progress the system through to maturity one season at a time. Tapping into what we know about the soil and conditions here, native plants, what the people in our community want to eat, and working toward a system that does not require many hours to maintain. When you work with nature, you develop systems that you can help along rather than battle with constantly.
