How are you,Reader? I have been working on something behind the scenes. It may seem little to you, but it was kind of a big deal for me, okay? I am officially launching a totally FREE video series to help you reclaim and realign your time, so you can fit in ALL of the homesteady things you want to do, and ditch the rest. Listen to today's episode for all of the deets on this 5-day challenge. The best part? There's no date to it! You can start it whenever you read this email. Don't get me...

Hello Reader, I am kind of an introvert. This might sound weird to you because I put myself out there on the internet. I have a hard time reaching out to my local community. This is something I really want to get better at this year, so I brought my friend Caitlin of Homegrown Hopes to chat all about community-sufficiency in homesteading. Don't forget to check out Caitlin's podcast, Homegrown Hopes, after this episode, and be sure to check out The Holistic Homestead Conference. Listen on...

More and more people move toward non-toxic cleaners every year, and I wanted to give you my favorite recipes (without essential oils... well... sometimes) in case you are looking to do the same.

Hey Reader! Happy Tuesday! I'm just going to get real with you, friend.

I honestly went from full-blown panic attacks if plans changed to full-blown depression as I tried to navigate how to "adult" and properly plan my days that don't necessarily have to have a schedule. I finally feel like I found methods that actually work to...

Reader, This email was supposed to be titled, "Get Ready to Organize Your Seeds and Sow Success!" Now that I look at it, that is kinda lame anyways. Welp. You might have already seen today's episode... because I accidentally published it on Thursday when I meant to schedule it. So bonus, take this extra time to catch up on any episodes you missed if you already heard this one! I swear I am an organized human being. Let's dive into the actual topic of today. Organizing your seeds not only sets...

Hello Reader, Whether you're daunted by the prospect of failure or success, homesteading fears can be REAL. I received a thought-provoking question from a Facebook follower and I couldn't resist talking about this topic right away (because I think it hits home for all of us). In this episode, I explore the complex emotions that come with change – from the unsettling fear of failure to the surprising apprehension of success, and even the daunting impostor syndrome.
