Shake, Shift, Evolve: Embracing Disruption as A Means to Change Your Mindset & Grow Personally with Kelsey Ducheneaux-Scott

11/02/23 • 60 min

What if disruption wasn't something to be feared, but rather embraced as a catalyst for growth and change? Join us for an unforgettable conversation with the steadfast Kelsey Scott, a woman who's redefining what disruptions means in her life to evolve as a human being. As a Lakota tribeswoman raised on The DX Ranch on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, Kelsey's unique insights on embracing disturbance, managing pressure, and enhancing resilience are informed by her life experiences on the ranch and her innovative approaches to engagement in Indian Agriculture as the Chief Strategy Officer of the Intertribal Agriculture Council.
In our enlightening conversation with Kelsey, we tap into the wisdom she's garnered from working closely with cattle and horses, and learning the power of pressure and release - not just with these majestic animals, but also in her everyday life. Kelsey shares with us the parallels she's drawn between these techniques and the cycles of the ecosystem. A discussion that begins with managing physical aches and pains expands into a profound exploration of overcoming anxiety and the importance of establishing a homeostasis for overall wellbeing.
As our conversation winds down, Kelsey offers her perspective on the strides she and her father, the USDA Farm Service Agency Administrator, have taken in strategizing new ways to improve the quality of life for BIPOC agricultural leaders and producers. As we explore the power of resilience and community appreciation, we also dive into Kelsey's unique marketing strategies for DX Beef and how they've positively impacted her local community. This episode is a treasure trove of insights, offering a new outlook on embracing disturbance, managing pressure, and enhancing resilience in our lives. Tune in to be inspired and learn something new.

Is it hard to believe that you can be exposed to approximately 500 chemicals before ever leaving your home for the day ? This shocking fact is a stark reality that Kara Kroeger delves into in this episode of the Land Food Life Podcast.

Kara then breaks down practical ways to use specific foods to boost health despite the hazardous impacts of toxicants in our environment. She also emphasizes the importance of a balanced intake of amino acids, the power of cruciferous vegetables, and sulfur's critical role in our bodies.

Anchoring with Nature: An Eco-Spiritual Journey on the Oneness of Being with Dr. Fred Provenza

Can you imagine sitting down to chat with a plant, asking it to share its innate wisdom with you, and then taking the nourishing messages of its flavors into your body as food and medicine? Well, guess what, whether you know it or not we all do this to some degree everyday.
Tune in for an enriching conversation with renowned Range Scientist, Dr. Fred Provenza and myself, your Land Food Life Podcast host Kara Kroeger. In this conversation Fred beautifully weaves his journey, from uncovering the remarkable functions of plants as food for livestock to appreciating their profound role in our social constructs, health, and spirituality. Together, we explore the powerful lessons that can be learned by recognizing the threads that weave all beings - humans, plants, insects, animals, land, and water - together and how anchoring ourselves with nature can regenerate our frazzled nervous systems and ecosystems.
Fred also shares about a time period when life pulled the rug out from under his feet, which opened the door to an ineffable feeling of oneness with the universe. Drawing inspiration from Fred and I's personal experiences, we explore the transcendental peace that can emerge from facing life-altering situations, like a health crisis. Through our personal anecdotes, we offer a unique perspective on cultivating an eco-centric vs. an ego-centric lifestyle through tethering ourselves to nature as a means of deepening our relationship with self and all that surrounds us.
