From the Outside: A Winter Creek Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

This episode is from our “From The Outside” series, where I record an episode OUTSIDE to share with you ~ either from a spot on the farm or elsewhere. These episodes are shorter and focused on soaking up the beauty outdoors and engaging all five of our senses. This episode was recorded in our winter creek bed on Kindred Farm. I share a favorite winter poem and all the details of what I'm sensing from my perch on a rock. So grab your own spot outside, and join me!

This episode is about a word that chose me...and it's a message I want to share with you. As we enter a new year, learn how you can be more rooted to the land beneath your feet, wherever that may be. We talk about more real connection, more outside time, more getting hands dirty in all kinds of ways. You might even learn a thing or two about regenerative farming! As usual, I share a gratefulness practice at the end and invite you to join me. If you need a breath of fresh inspiration in your life today, listen in!

What I Learned in 2022 Dec 29, 2022

Show notes

Living another year of life is no small thing - it’s a great privilege - so let’s not rush too quickly into the next year without first looking back to notice what we’ve learned and how we’ve grown.

“I will not squander my freedom by living timidly.” This is a phrase that was at the forefront of my mind as I began 2022. How did it turn out? In this episode, I reflect back on a pivotal year and what I learned about living more boldly this year, albeit imperfectly. I also highlight 4 specific things (among many) that I learned this year.

As usual, I share a gratefulness practice at the end and invite you to join me. LISTEN IN, and breathe in some fresh inspiration, right where you are.

Slow & Sacred Christmas Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

How do we carve out the kind of Christmas Day that is nourishing and life-giving, rather than harried and rushed? How do we create new traditions in our family that align with our purpose and values, or even reclaim a holiday season that has gotten out of control?

Join me in this episode as I share about our Slow + Sacred Christmas Day, breaking down the day into morning, afternoon, and evening and about how the day can be both a time of drawing inward and also outward as you welcome others in community. I'm giving you ideas for a rustic, delicious Christmas dinner menu, too! No matter how or where you’ll be spending the day, I think you’ll find something helpful and inspiring in this episode!

As usual, I also share a gratefulness practice at the end and invite you to join me. LISTEN IN, and breathe in some fresh inspiration for the rest of your week.

Help Me & Thank You Dec 14, 2022

Show notes

How do we navigate times of suffering and the disappointment when things don’t go as planned? None of us likes to suffer or be vulnerable, but these inevitable situations have a way of sharpening our senses and showing us the most simple of gifts with clear eyes. In this episode, I share a favorite Anne Lamott quote and we explore practices to keep our eyes open to the ways the Light is breaking through, always, even in difficult times.

As usual, I also share a gratefulness practice at the end and invite you to join me. If you need a breath of fresh inspiration in your life today, listen in!

From the Outside: Blue Ridge Mountains Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

Introducing a new series on The Kindred Life Podcast, "From the Outside," where I record an episode OUTSIDE to share with you ~ either from a spot on the farm or elsewhere.

This episode was recorded next to a mountain stream in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. I share a few inspiring quotes and all the details of what I'm sensing from my perch on a mossy rock. So grab your own spot outside, and join me!

Taste and See Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

If we never try - if we never take a taste - how will we ever know?

The more we taste a certain food, the more we get used to it, and sometimes we discover that we actually like it. It’s the same with life experiences. We can’t develop new, good habits, or step out and make the healthy changes that we need to make for ourselves or our families if we don’t just go for it and try it a few times. We have to develop a taste for something new. In this episode, recorded the week of Thanksgiving, I share some favorite foods and Thanksgiving memories from growing up near New York City, a story from a reader, and some ideas for how to find beauty outside our comfort zones this holiday season.

As usual, I also share a gratefulness practice at the end and invite you to join me. If you need a breath of fresh inspiration in your life today, listen in!

"Greening" Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

How can we look at our everyday lives and see where “greening” might be happening, no matter what our circumstances or surroundings say? In this episode, I share a word I learned this summer that floored me and taught me how growth can happen at the most unexpected times. I also share a gratefulness practice and invite you to join me. If you need some fresh inspiration today, listen in!
