Brendalyn shares her personal story of returning to her home state of Missouri to steward 244 acres of land that was once Missouri's first Black resort.
Brendalyn discusses the importance of "selfish" healing, building sustainable communities through hemp farming and natural building, and creating spaces for authentic living, listening, and reconnection. She also touches on the impact of the recent tornado in St. Louis and how her land can provide refuge and healing.
This episode is filled with insights on personal development, Black history, reparations, farming, and the transformative power of the land. Whether you're a coach, farmer, naturopath, or simply seeking more authentic living, this conversation has something for everyone.

Key Quotes:
"Healing is selfish. And in order to heal myself, I had to be selfish. Dreams can come true, if you're willing to be selfish for the thing you need. I have to remind myself, there's a hand guiding my path.
"I want you to bring all those prescriptions you're on, I want you to bring the pain, I want you to bring the trauma, bring all of that, so that we can create bridges, and translate, and reframe, and recontextualize, and offer more spaciousness."
