Over here, we’re changing on a cellular level – being bold, ambitious, and joyful while creating spaces for healing, reflection, and creativity.
It’s time to get offline and get back to the land – let’s touch grass folks! The truth is, there’s so MUCH we can do when we work together. We have so many skills and talents we can each bring to create the world we want to see 🫶🌎✨
Show Notes:
In this episode we sit down with Angel Tobar, a horticulturalist and educator from the Bronx, to explore his dramatic transition from the world of finance to sustainable farming.
Angel shares his experiences and observations about systemic inequities in finance, the profound connection between community and land, and the importance of aligning one’s work with personal values.
They also discuss the mental and physical tolls of contemporary work environments and the life-altering significance of embracing ancestral skills.
Through Angel’s story, the conversation illuminates how small acts of healing and community building can lead to expansive, fulfilling lives.
