About this episode
This episode delves into the concept of slow living as a continuous practice that requires constant effort and intentionality. Mary & Emma discuss with Shannon Hayes, author of 'Radical Homemakers' and 'Redefining Rich,' about her journey in slow living, holistic farming, and creating a life-serving economy. Hayes shares her experiences of managing a family farm and restaurant, the backlash from her first book, and the importance of a quality of life statement. The conversation also explores how redefining wealth beyond monetary income can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life.00:00 Introduction to Slow Living01:37 A Rich Life in the Garden02:34 Interview with Shannon Hayes03:49 Defining True Wealth04:48 Quality of Life Statements10:32 Non-Monetary Income15:23 Shannon Hayes' Background17:36 The Creative Journey22:51 Legacy Work and Overcoming Resentment26:58 Reflecting on Radical Homemakers28:13 Exploring Power Dynamics in Families29:14 The Impact of Misinterpretation30:22 Facing Public Perception and Personal Growth38:06 Navigating Employment and Self-Employment45:19 Understanding Life-Serving vs. Extractive Economies49:03 The Concept of Slow Living50:30 The Good Dirt: Metaphor and Reality52:47 Where to Find More from Shannon━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🌻 About Lady Farmer:Subscribe to The ALMANAC, a Lady Farmer Newsletter & CommunityVisit Our WebsiteFollow @weareladyfarmer on InstagramEmail us at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail!
