Farm Family Harmony Podcast: FWhy Smaller Conversations Matter… values and curiosity

Episode 76: Why Smaller Conversations Matter… values and curiosity

In this episode, I sit down with Shawna Percy, suicide prevention specialist and founder of Ag Care Connect, to explore why small conversations can make such a big difference in farm families.

Drawing on 15 years of experience in mental health and suicide prevention, Shawna shares how meaningful connections often begin with simple, everyday conversations. On the farm, where family relationships, emotions, and expectations are closely intertwined, finding the right words isn’t always easy.

Together, we explore how building the habit of talking and listening can create a stronger foundation for navigating difficult conversations, from family relationships to farm transition and mental well-being.

If you’ve been struggling to start an important conversation with someone in your farm family, this episode offers a valuable reminder that you don’t have to tackle everything at once. Sometimes, the smallest conversations are where meaningful change begins.

“Sometimes in hindsight we see things looking back, but sometimes our loved ones and others can be really good at masking and hiding things from us.” – Shawna Percy
