On the Road to Resilience: A Farmer's Fight with Dialysis (ft. Jarod Palmer)

In this special episode, host Mr. Cool Beans took the microphone on the road (right after a doctor's appointment!) to capture an incredible conversation. Jarod Palmer is living a life defined by intense commitment: carrying forward his family's generational legacy of hard work and farming tradition while navigating the life-long demands of dialysis.

This session is a raw and powerful masterclass in resilience. Jarod shares his deeply personal story of how he learned to cope with a chronic illness diagnosis, the mental shifts required to schedule treatments around a sun-up-to-sundown job, and where he finds the motivation to uphold his heritage on the days he feels most drained.

• How Jarod balances the physical demands of farming with the exhaustion of dialysis.

• The small, meaningful coping mechanisms he uses to feel productive on his hardest days.

• The unexpected way the rhythm of the seasons helped him accept the rhythm of treatment.
