Unstoppable Stories - Episode 23: Raised with Respect with Abigail Compton

In this episode of Unstoppable Stories, host Nathan James is joined by Abigail Compton, military veteran, caregiver, mother of four, and co-owner of Compton Family Farm. Abigail shares a powerful look into her life on and off the farm, from the trauma of her husband being shot in the line of duty, to the deep purpose she’s found in raising animals with care and compassion.

We hear how Abigail balances motherhood, caregiving, and running a sustainable farm, all while continuing her education through the Pillars of Strength Scholarship at UMGC. She speaks openly about the emotional weight of loving animals she knows won’t be with her forever, and how her respect for them has transformed the way she lives and works. Abigail is a remarkable example of resilience and grace, and her story is one you won’t want to miss.
