Courage Cooking and Advocacy, A Conversation with Carrie Mess
In this episode of the Dairy Hour Podcast, host Val Lavigne sits down with Carrie Mess, also known as Dairy Carrie, to discuss her inspiring journey from city life to the farm. Known for her candid storytelling and passion for agriculture, Carrie shares how her love for dairy farming evolved into a platform for advocacy and education.
Carrie’s journey wasn’t without its challenges. She opens up about her struggle with Chiari malformation, a serious condition that affects the brain and spinal cord, and hormone imbalances that significantly impacted her health. These health battles forced Carrie to step back from full-time farming, leading her to make tough decisions about her role in the dairy industry. The conversation sheds light on the importance of listening to your body, seeking medical help, and advocating for yourself in difficult situations.
Throughout the episode, Carrie emphasizes the value of finding the right medical team who will support you and explain complex health issues in a comforting way. She shares her determination not to ignore symptoms and encourages others to be persistent in seeking answers when something doesn’t feel right.
Aside from farming, Carrie talks about her love for cooking and her passion for trying new cuisines. These creative outlets have provided her with joy and fulfillment, offering a much-needed escape from the pressures of farm life and health struggles. Whether she’s experimenting with new recipes or exploring different foods, cooking has become an essential part of her journey to wellness and happiness.
Carrie’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of courage, creativity, and self-advocacy. It’s not just about what happens on the farm—it’s about embracing life’s challenges, pursuing your passions, and finding happiness in the small things.
