A Farmish Kind of Life

When something goes wrong or doesn't work the way we want, it's way easier to blame the tool, the system, the circumstances, or other people. Right? And sometimes those things really are part of the problem. But more often than not, we need to ask a harder question: What part of this did I contribute to?

Many times in life we end up having to admit that the systems that once worked beautifully eventually stop fitting the season you’re in. And that doesn’t mean you screwed up, it means that life is happening and life is doing what it does.

The internet wants us emotionally activated all the time, but Real Life wants us present.

I'm not here today to dismiss anyone's struggles. I'm just here to point out the growing double standard surrounding who is allowed to openly feel overwhelmed.

In this episode, I talk about why life experience changes how you respond to hard times, why calm is something you have to earn, and why what feels like “OMG THIS IS THE END” might just be the beginning of learning that you’ll be okay.

What happens to the things you care about when life gets hard? Today I’m talking about what the last few months taught me about homesteading, priorities, pressure, and things we think matter… until they don’t.

After four (unexpected) months away, I’m back today to share a quick explanation on what’s been happening, why I disappeared (trust me, it was valid!) and where things go from here.

Today we're talking about how to be a light and how that doesn't mean turning yourself into kindling.

Since going back to work outside the home, I’ve noticed something: so many of folks live in constant emergency mode. They're rushing, panicking, and treating every single task like life or death. Like every single thing is something that has to be solved or done right now...

Did you know the word "priority" didn't have a plural form for over 500 years? We're not supposed to have more than one "most important" thing.
