  • Lockdown on the Land

    Lockdown on the Land
    Feb 17 2026

    In this episode, I share what lockdown felt like from the farm — growing our own paddy, harvesting papayas, foraging greens, and slowly learning to rest without guilt. What began as isolation became immersion… and healing.

    This is not about farming.
    It’s about slowing down, softening the achiever within, and remembering how to simply be.

  • When the Land taught me Boundaries

    When the Land taught me Boundaries
    Feb 7 2026

    When the Land Taught Me Boundaries is a personal story of learning to protect what we love. As I began living on the land, I realised how closely my own lack of boundaries mirrored hers—open to intrusion, overuse, and quiet abuse. This episode traces the conflicts, discomfort, and courage it took to stop the land from becoming a space of convenience, and how, in the process, the land taught me to find my voice. A reflection on stewardship, assertiveness, and the cost—and necessity—of saying enough.

  • The Silence Was Not Empty

    The Silence Was Not Empty
    Jan 30 2026

    When you move to the land, you don’t begin a new story — you step into one already being lived. This episode traces my early days on the farm, the first cracks in the romantic dream, and the quiet arrival of fear that would soon bring protection, companionship, and belonging.
