In this episode, I’m joined by Kristen Kelderman, the creator and calming voice behind Grounded: 5 Minute Farm Meditations. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pace of farm life, or wished you could carve out just a few quiet moments in your day, this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath.

Kristen shares the story of how Grounded began, why she felt called to create short, accessible meditations for the agriculture community, and how the simplest moments on the farm can become powerful grounding practices. We talk about burnout, intuition, creativity, and the importance of finding softness in the middle of our busiest seasons.

Whether you’re listening in the barn, on the road, or unwinding at the end of the day, this episode is your invitation to slow down and reconnect with yourself — even if only for five minutes.

Tune in to hear Kristen’s wisdom, her gentle presence, and her passion for supporting farm women through mindful moments that truly matter.

Pull up a chair, pour a coffee, and let’s talk farm life, love, and lessons learned. Herd It Here First is a podcast for women in agriculture who want connection, encouragement, and honest conversations about farm life. This is just the beginning of a community where your stories matter, your voice is heard, and we remind each other that even in the busiest seasons, we’re not alone. Let's chat!

In this episode, I share my personal journey of discovering community within agriculture—the challenges and the support that has made all the difference. My hope is that by opening up about my own experiences, others will feel encouraged, less alone, and inspired to seek out their own sense of belonging in this industry. Whether you’re already deeply rooted in agriculture or just beginning to find your place, this conversation is about connection, resilience, and the power of shared stories.
