Episode 168: "Addressing Financial Distress To Improve Mental Health" w/Art Lange


In this week’s episode, Tracy speaks to Art Lange about "Addressing Financial Distress To Improve Mental Health.”

If the farm financial stress is severe, you will experience adverse effects on your mental health and vice versa, which is precisely what today’s episode is about.

In this episode, Tracy and Art chat about:
  • How farmers are feeling mentally and financially after numerous tough years across Western Canada.
  • Art shares his thoughts on the importance of addressing financial distress to improve the mental health of the farmer and, in turn, the family.
  • Art works with farmers in good times and challenging times, and he has some easy-to-follow recommendations…and an action plan. Art shares all his best tips with our audience.
Has your farm experienced one, two, or maybe even multiple tough years? If so, this episode is a must-listen.
