Inga Orth: From Burnout to Backroads: Returning to Myself
In this honest and engaging talk, Inga Orth shares her journey from burnout to breakthrough—from losing herself in overwork, people-pleasing, and perfectionism to reconnecting with her worth, her joy, and her land. As a farmer, cheesemaker, and former PBS host, Inga speaks from lived experience about the emotional toll of constantly pushing through and the powerful process of slowing down, setting boundaries, and rebuilding a life that feels like home. She offers real-world insights into healing from emotional exhaustion, redefining success, and finding self-compassion—without a wellness retreat budget.

This is a talk for anyone who’s ever felt like they’ve lost themselves while trying to hold it all together. Expect storytelling, humor, and hard-won wisdom from a woman who’s been there—and found her way back.

Inga Orth is a fourth-generation dairy farmer, cheesemaker, and former host of PBS’s Around the Farm Table. She’s spent the past decade advocating for local food and family farms—and the past few years rebuilding her own life after burnout. Through speaking, writing, and storytelling, Inga helps others reconnect with what really matters: rest, real food, community, and the radical act of self-worth. She lives and farms in Osseo, Wisconsin, where she makes farmstead cheese and teaches others how to heal without losing their roots.
