    Keeping Ashland Healthy - Episode 115 – Caring for our Farmers | Connie Butler
    Feb 10 2026
    Farming feeds our state — but who supports the farmer? In our next episode of Keeping Ashland Healthy, Board member Connie Butler joins me to explore the hidden stresses of agricultural life, the power of community, and the strengths farmers already carry. It’s a conversation about land, loneliness, and belonging — and how we can care for the people who care for the soil.

    Keeping Ashland Healthy - Episode 113 – Doomscrolling!
    Jan 27 2026
    Ever check the news and end up feeling anxious, exhausted, or on edge – even when nothing bad is happening to you? That’s doomscrolling. Bad news has always existed, but smartphones & other devices have changed how often the human brain encounters it. In our next episode, we unpack key points from a piece by Glanze Patrick on why constant negative news affects the brain, disrupts sleep, and wears down mental health – and what actually helps. Join us for Keeping Ashland Healthy, where mental health starts with understanding how our world shapes us. You can listen to Keeping Ashland Healthy on the iHeart App or wherever you get your podcasts. Questions? Contact the Board at 419.281.3139.

    Jan 20 2026
    We’ve been told for years that depression and anxiety are caused by chemical imbalances – but that story doesn’t hold up. In this episode of Keeping Ashland Healthy, we explore why psychiatric diagnoses aren’t diseases, what the science actually says, and why reframing mental “illness” as human distress could change how we care for people and our community.
