    306. Screens vs. the Village: Why Moms Don’t Really Lack Time | RuthAnn of Homesteading with the Zimmermans Sep 09, 2025
    Show notes

    Homesteading isn’t just about raising your own food— it’s about building a life where relationships, rhythms, and real community come first. In this conversation with RuthAnn, we dig into everything from screen-free parenting to the myth of “not enough time,” the health wake-up call that reshaped her family’s lifestyle, and the true meaning of the village for moms today. If you’ve ever wondered how to slow down and find joy in the ordinary while strengthening your home, join us for this conversation!

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why homesteading is about more than food on the table— prioritizing relationships make it matter

    • Lessons carried from an Old Order Mennonite childhood into today’s homemaking rhythms

    • The childhood health scare that flipped everything and sent RuthAnn’s family back to homemade, nourishing food

    • How food choices connect to kids’ behavior, focus, and overall peace in the home

    • The real thief of time in modern motherhood and how to reclaim creativity from screen addiction

    • Why RuthAnn keeps her kids off screens and trusts they’ll thrive in the skills they need when the time comes

    • Retraining our brains to find joy in “ordinary” tasks like bread baking, gardening, and family meals

    • The myths of “the village” and what young moms are missing when social media becomes their community

    • Why younger moms often don’t trust older moms these days and how smaller families have broken the natural overlap of generations in parenting

    • A better way for older moms to support the next generation and be “the village”: listening first, then guiding with wisdom and understanding

    • The true heart of homesteading: slower rhythms, stronger families, and intentional time together

    305. Turn Land Into Home: Design Outdoor Spaces You Actually Want to Be In | Tessa Pinner Sep 02, 2025
    Show notes

    Creating a sense of history and place on raw land takes vision and patience, and garden designer Tessa Pinner shares how to make it both practical and beautiful. We chat about designing outdoor “rooms,” why smaller spaces can sometimes be easier than wide-open acreage, and how trees, fences, and timeless materials add history and charm. Tessa offers simple, long-term strategies to beat overwhelm and cultivate outdoor spaces that truly feel like home, whether you’re on acreage or working with a small backyard.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Creating a sense of place on raw land through thoughtful landscape design

    • Why outdoor spaces deserve as much attention as interiors for function and enjoyment

    • Designing “garden rooms” that encourage gathering, eating, and everyday living outside

    • How wide open acreage can feel overwhelming and why smaller yards are sometimes easier to design

    • Using permaculture “zones” to plan spaces from most-used near the house to more relaxed areas farther out

    • The importance of making outdoor spaces safe and hospitable for children and guests

    • Choosing materials that feel timeless and appropriate to the style of the house

    • Balancing beauty, practicality, and budget when designing for features like pools, patios, and fencing

    • Planting trees early to establish maturity and history on a new property

    • The hidden benefit of casting a long-term vision and phasing projects in gradually over many years

    • How to avoid analysis paralysis when planning: books, drawings, and vision over Pinterest overwhelm

    • Hardscaping as the backbone of outdoor spaces— surfaces, boundaries, and seating areas

    Show notes

    Life in this season feels full of change– new babies, teenagers gaining independence, and the daily rhythms that keep our large family moving forward. In this episode, I share my real experiences with co-sleeping, freshly milled wheat, toys and clutter, pregnancy challenges, car seats, and the everyday questions you’ve asked about homemaking and homesteading. I also talk about the farmhouse build alongside my sister, our different approaches to decision-making, and the long-term dreams I have for life on the farm. Join me for this Q&A style conversation where your questions guide the discussion and I share the simple, intentional rhythms that shape our home and family!

    In this episode, we cover:

    • My experience with co-sleeping through many babies, how my approach has shifted, and the safe sleep setups that work best for us

    • Why I use freshly milled wheat in my baking and whether I’ve noticed any health differences in our family

    • How we approach toys and gifts in our home— letting the kids enjoy them fully and then decluttering when the interest fades

    • Pregnancy challenges I’ve faced, including varicose veins, and the simple things that help like magnesium and extra rest

    • Our current car seat setup with a new baby on the way, plus the big milestone of having a teenager with a driver’s license and how quickly family dynamics shift

    • Everyday homemaking and homestead questions— from spiders and ticks to kids’ haircuts, dishwashers, and the routines that keep our large family moving

    • My thoughts on building our farmhouse at the same time as my sister, the differences between how we approach home decisions, and the long-term dreams I have for animals on our farm

    • Listener questions on sourdough starters, selling our house plans, and other homemaking challenges, all bringing me back to simple, intentional rhythms

    303. Raising Kids Who Thrive: Habits and Foundations for the Early Years | Erin Cox of The Gentle + Classical Press Aug 19, 2025
    Show notes

    Homeschooling isn’t just about academics. It’s about shaping character, habits, and family culture in the everyday moments. In this conversation with Erin from Gentle + Classical Press, we talk about what the early years can look like without the pressure of early academics, how to raise children who know how to use their free time well, and why consistency matters more than perfection. You’ll hear encouragement for the overwhelmed mom, perspective on kids’ different personalities, and practical ways to build a gentle and classical foundation in your home. If you’re looking for fresh vision and tangible ideas for your homeschool days, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Erin’s family life with four children, 15 years of homeschooling, and a business run alongside homesteading

    • A shift from academic goals to discipleship, character development, and strong family habits

    • The meaning of a “gentle and classical” approach, blending Charlotte Mason influence with classical education in a soft, approachable way

    • Preschool years centered on scripture memory, virtues through song, habit training, and life skills, with limited academics before age six

    • Encouragement for overwhelmed moms: God equips you for the children He gave you, one hard day won’t undo everything, and comparison online is misleading

    • The role of children’s personalities in shaping both family dynamics and parental growth

    • Homeschooling with a deeper purpose of individualized learning, supporting specific needs, and cultivating family culture

    • Lessons learned from the early years, including the importance of consistency in habits and the danger of overemphasizing grades or peer influence

    • Recognizing readiness for formal learning by watching attention spans, keeping lessons short, and letting children progress in their own time

    • Homeschooled kids often learn to use free time creatively, developing projects and play rather than becoming bored or dependent on screens

    • The importance of establishing realistic boundaries that make business sustainable over the long haul

    • Small business systems that reduce stress: online pre-orders, projecting sales, and intentionally slow growth

    301. Design Decisions, Third Trimester Updates, and Finding Enjoyment in the Process + More Q&A! Aug 05, 2025
    Show notes

    At 34 weeks pregnant, I’m sharing all the latest on our home build, pregnancy with baby #9, and what life is like in this full season. Even though progress on the house feels slow, I’m finding peace in the extra time to make intentional decisions, and we are loving how our unique vision is coming to life. I talk about chimney brick, roofing surprises, and the proportions that make it feel like an old homestead. I also reflect on how textbook this pregnancy has been compared to my others and answer a few listener questions about storm windows and monitoring during labor.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Slow building progress continues, but the slower pace has allowed for more thoughtful, intentional decisions

    • Finalized historic design elements like trim profiles, wall materials, and appliance choices— finding excitement in the progress even if it’s gradual

    • Chimneys are now bricked and the garage is roofed with wide-seamed metal that perfectly fits the historic vibe— a happy surprise with no overthinking!

    • Main house will feature cedar shake roofing, while the porches and additions have metal to embrace the “old house with add-ons” story

    • Reflections on how proportions, window placement, and overall structure are beautifully bringing to life the original vision of a “new old house”

    • Pregnancy update at 34 weeks: similar symptoms and baby position as past pregnancies, feeling confident and ready

      Choosing minimal prenatal interventions— tracking iron and glucose at home, keeping midwife visits sparse

      • Sharing our personal approach to open windows with no screens or storm doors for an indoor-outdoor connection
    • Thoughts on Doppler use in labor and delivery— balancing caution with practical monitoring when needed

    300. Reframing Birth: Pain, Preparation, and Letting Go of Fear | Lana of Girl, Teach Me Jul 29, 2025
    Show notes

    Birth doesn’t have to be something to fear. I sat down with Lana from Girl, Teach Me to talk about seeing labor as a God-designed process, not an emergency. We covered choosing the right midwife, why changing your mindset around pain is so powerful, and how to respond to people who think you are choosing home birth to get a “trophy”. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, this episode is full of honest, empowering wisdom for walking into birth with peace!

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Lana’s story: how a college nutrition class sparked her love for birth and led to Girl, Teach Me

    • Birth as normal— not an emergency to fear, but a process designed by God

    • The faith walk of birth that requires releasing control and trusting God each time, no matter the number

    • Choosing your birth team wisely and why the right midwife makes all the difference

    • Power moves and fear tactics— recognizing red flags in medical care

    • Labor predictions that miss the mark: baby size, dilation, and due dates that don’t actually mean much

    • A new perspective on pain: working with your body instead of resisting it

    • Birth prep that actually helps: Bradley Method, Ina May, and positive birth stories

    • The realities of the first-time birth and why it often takes longer and feels more intense

    • Things that can go wrong— why skilled midwives know when to transfer, and how most situations are calm and non-emergent

    • How to prepare for postpartum experiences like afterbirth cramps, recovery, and what actually helps (or doesn’t)

    • Thoughts on free birth— being prepared either way, but personally valuing the peace of a midwife’s presence

    • How Lana included her older children in her birth and what it meant to her daughters

    • Why home birth just makes sense for outcomes, comfort, and family flow

    • Pushing back on comparison— birth choices aren’t competitions, and excellence isn’t judgment

    • Lana’s heart behind creating content for new moms through YouTube, blogging, and her course

    299. Overwhelmed by Health Advice? A Simpler Approach to Fatigue, Food Sensitivities, Hidden Stress | Christa Biegler of Less Stressed Life Jul 22, 2025
    Show notes

    If you are feeling tired, foggy, reactive to everything you eat, and you’re not sure where to even begin, this episode is for you! I’m joined by Christa from Less Stressed Life to unpack some of the most confusing and overwhelming health topics moms face: sluggish thyroid, hidden stress, food sensitivities, and nervous system overload. Christa shares her holistic, systems-based approach to healing that prioritizes nourishment, nervous system support, and practical tools over endless restriction and fear. If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, you don’t want to miss this conversation!

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Welcoming Christa from Less Stressed Life to talk thyroid, nervous system health, food sensitivities, and more

    • How her own health journey shaped the way she helps women heal holistically

    • The “health triad” framework: chemical/nutritional, structural/environmental, emotional/energetic

    • Common issues women face—gut troubles, skin flare-ups, fatigue, and subclinical thyroid symptoms

    • Why many symptoms trace back to nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress

    • A story about stress shutting down digestion—how even nature couldn’t calm the fight-or-flight response

    • Defining neuroplasticity and the importance of training the body to shift out of stress mode

    • Simple tools for nervous system support—gratitude, humming, breathwork, nature walks, legs up the wall

    • Wearable tech to promote calm—vagus nerve stimulation devices like Apollo Neuro

    • How long-term stress depletes nutrients and contributes to hidden deficiencies

    • Subtle but telling signs of sluggish thyroid—cold hands, brain fog, fatigue, cracked feet, and hair loss

    • Why “normal” thyroid labs don’t always reflect what’s really going on in the body

    • The real root of many food sensitivities—gut permeability, poor digestion, and fear-based restriction

    • How over-restriction can backfire and increase hypersensitivity to everyday foods

    • Encouragement for those navigating Hashimoto’s, reintroducing gluten or dairy, or feeling stuck
