    Today, I'm listing 10 habits to seamlessly integrate homesteading into your everyday life. Instead of thinking of homesteading as all of these "BIG" things to learn like canning, sourdough, or even chickens, let's start with a few things that we can incorporate immediately that will lead to success in our homesteads.

    Ep 8: My Secret Sauce for Homesteading in a Modern World Without Guilt Jan 19, 2024
    Show notes

    This episode is a reminder not to fall into the comparison trap that can easily steal your joy and lead to guilt. Everyone's homesteading journey is completely different, and I am all about homesteading that is tailor-made to fit YOUR modern life, no one else's.

    Don’t force homesteading activities you don't enjoy. Don’t let others steal your joy when they point out that what you are doing isn’t good enough.

    Do you agree with embracing imperfection on our homesteading journeys, or do you believe we should always strive for perfection?

    HOMEWORK

    Unfollow anyone on Instagram who makes you feel less than. Surround yourself with positivity.

    Ep 1. 5 Things I Don’t Do as a Modern Homesteader Jan 02, 2024
    Show notes

    What homesteading things do you ACTUALLY want to do?

    In this episode:

    • We will hone in on the homesteading things that we actually want to do, and let go of everything that doesn't align with our goals. We cannot do it all, and let's be honest, we don't even want to! Let's make more time for the homestead things we love, and ditch the rest.

    2024 is going to be a major year for us to accomplish goals, learn the things we have wanted to learn, and find systems that make homesteading work for us! I am not a standard homesteader, and you don't have to be either!

    Homework: Write out what homesteading things you really want to do and tally up how much time it actually takes. Now check your phone time and see how many hours you spend a day on your phone. OPE! Maybe this will give you some hope or maybe it will tell you that you might want to let something go.
