OFI 1521: Anxiety & Farm Stress | Lesley Kelly | High Heels And Canola Fields

Lesley Kelly is a farmer, podcaster, author and speaker with a very personal message about mental health on farms.  Growing up on her families farm in Saskatchewan, Leslie thought she was bound for the big city and things “bigger” than farming.  However, as those dreams started to come to fruition she realized that she missed the farming lifestyle, and when the opportunity to farm full-time with her husband, father and brother presented itself she and her husband made the leap.

There have been many stressors throughout this journey from mother nature and the nature of farming.  These have taken their toll on everyone in the family in one way or another.  On today’s episode Lesley will discuss her journey, why we both love Mad Men and breaking the stigma of mental health in our agricultural communities.
