Are You a Prisoner to your farm? The Stresses of Rural Life and Building a Farm
What happens here
Josh returns to the theme of relationships, articulating how the unrelenting nature of farm work can 'drive us apart from our families' and even negatively impact marriages. He questions whether his dedication to the farm comes at the cost of his social life and his relationships with his wife, and whether he is neglecting his own need for self-care. He highlights the 'stress-eating' and constant exhaustion that can result from this demanding lifestyle, where he shovels 'garbage food' after long days.
Goal: The farmer discusses how the incessant demands of farming can lead to the deterioration of personal relationships and a neglect of self-care, often resulting in stress-related behaviors like overeating.
