About This Podcast
Welcome to The Soft Focus Podcast, where we practice letting go, broadening the view, and opening up to the magic that is already here.The Soft Focus Podcast is hosted by Corinne McAndrews, the farmer, wife, mother, and contemplative at the helm of Late Bloomer Ranch in eastern Idaho, USA, which is a holistic ranch committed to raising meat, eggs, wool, and cut-flowers of the utmost quality with integrity to match.Looking across disciplines, The Soft Focus Podcast is less about farming per se, and more about investigating the interconnectedness of things and learning from individuals across the ideological spectrum.If you are looking for deep conversations about the principles of holism and finding meaning in everyday life, you've come to the right place.
