Stop Letting Other People Decide Who You Are - EP 1107

Today is the last solo show of 2025. We examine something you may not want to look at: being too sensitive to criticism and ultimately letting other people decide who you are rather than be who you were meant to be. We will also do a final run through our usual Tuesday segments.

Featured Event: Combat Midwife Class. March 7 at the Basecamp Lodge.

Featured Forage

We had a deep freeze and nothing is left, right? WRONG! Now is a time to look at things below ground. One of my favorites at this time of year requires that you look for the plant in the fall, mark where it is, then dig: Jerusalem Artichoke. 

Cleaning

Favorite recipe: Steamed into a mash with butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Complements a steak beautifully without the glycemic impact of mashed.

These grow themselves and a little care will allow you to have many - but be careful about that many!
