# 186 — Meesh From Montana

Mark and Blair sit down with Meesh Metcalf to talk about love, loss, navigating grief, the land, the future and how to hold on to what we love without suffocating its spirit or changing it permanently along the way. Meesh was born, raised, worked and works with the land of Montana. She is a sixth generation Montanan, and jokes to the transplants she knows that she is their ‘token Montanan friend,’ while also being the first to acknowledge the land makes and creates but is not owned. She is a yogi, a teacher and student, fiddle player, athlete, mountain runner, rancher, writer, and a healer. Each of these avenues of self are held together with her passion, fire, and easy directness. Her classes at Ekam Yoga are full and filled because of the fire and heart she emanates. Meesh is loyal to her people, to this special land, and to her own heart as she navigates life, loss, love and the ability to connect with others through it all. She is a spitfire and a gift to the people in her life.
