Welcome to season 2 of Focus on Health. During the second season of the podcast I hope to host conversations that shed light on topics such as workplace culture, self identity, work/life balance, interpersonal relationships, substance abuse, and any other challenges that hospitality workers may face.
In this episode I chat with longtime friend, butcher, and farmer Kate Kavanaugh. In our conversation with discuss what it means to live in alignment, the decision that she and her partner Josh made to move away from their primary business in search of better alignment, how she's actively worked on returning to her health, how regenerative nature can be for our health, and so much more.
Kate Kavanaugh set out on a mission to heal land, bodies, and communities through food ten years ago. She is the owner of a small butcher shop and grocery, Western Daughters, in Denver and a new farmer on a small farmstead in upstate New York. She is on a journey to connect with nature, experiment with regenerative agriculture and livestock raising techniques, and help others reconnect with practices that bring them back to health and vitality. Kate just launched Ground Work, where she wants to help connect people directly to their food through both a farm directory and a podcast where she muses about mind, body, and soil. In her spare time, she loves to cook, hang out with her goats, and go for long walks.
