About this episode
Mary and Emma Return: Rethinking Slow Living, Sustainability, and the Good LifeMary and Emma return to the podcast after over a six-month hiatus, reflecting on the evolution of Lady Farmer as a brand and their own experiences within it. They discuss how the cultural context around sustainability has shifted, how they don't want to present themselves as experts or frame sustainability in moral terms, and how systemic forces limit individual impact even as daily habits still matter. They aim to focus more on finding meaning, creativity, and defining “the good life". They share personal updates (babies! work! gardening!) and discuss plans for how they want to continue to unfold into The Good Dirt and the Lady Farmer project. 00:00 Welcome Back Intro00:09 Meet Mary And Emma00:27 Hiatus And Origin Story01:10 Lady Farmer Mission03:17 Slow Living Then Vs Now05:12 Three Pillars Framework07:15 Systems Not Individuals09:36 Beyond Morality To Feelings12:23 Decluttering And Trash Guilt15:25 Meaninglessness And Nature16:15 Creativity Work And Money18:52 Marys Farm Projects20:11 Reopening The Online Store21:50 Whats In The Marketplace24:42 Listener Requests And WrapAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
