Out Of The Rut

You Can’t Outwork a Broken Culture

Ey Up! Thanks for joining me for the very first episode of Out Of The Rut podcast. In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist, Dr Stephanie Fitzgerald, to unpack an idea that hits home in farming and far beyond: changing jobs, roles, or even businesses won’t magically make you feel better if you’re carrying the same beliefs, pressures, and “inherited culture” with you. We talk about why our brains hate uncertainty, how limiting beliefs form early (and stick around for decades), and why well-being can’t be an “add-on” in farming. You’ll also hear practical ways to challenge unhelpful stories like “there’s no days off” or “downtime is lazy” without starting a row at the mart.
