In this inspiring episode of Nourishing Ideas, artist and entrepreneur Belen Cavestany shares her extraordinary journey — from leading a successful training company in Madrid to starting over as a farmer and regenerative entrepreneur in rural Spain. After losing her business during the pandemic, Belen rebuilt her life around purpose, community, and the soil itself.
