In this episode of the MSF Farm Talk Podcast, part of the Farming and Growth Mindset series, hosts Nick Paltridge and Dennis Hoiberg discuss practical strategies for resilience on the farm.

Dennis details his 'five planks of resilience' framework, which includes spirituality, medical health, physical health, connectivity, and mental health. He emphasises that resilience isn't just about bouncing back but bouncing forward and adapting to change.

The conversation covers the importance of self-care, holistic medical approaches, the impact of physical posture and exercise, the value of social and community connections, and activities to keep the brain active.

This episode is funded by the SA Drought Resilience, Adoption, and Innovation Hub with support from the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund.
