    089. Homesteading Couples: How to Get Your Spouse On Board [Rebroadcast]

    089. Homesteading Couples: How to Get Your Spouse On Board [Rebroadcast]

    What do you do when your spouse or partner is not on board with your homesteading dreams? This is something I hear people struggling with all the time. One spouse is all into the idea of homesteading and the other has big reservations or is very against the idea.

    Recently, I coach a member of my students through this very topic. I decided a podcast episode on this topic would be good for those dealing with the same thing.

    I didn't poll any of my audience but I imagine some of the objections from the spouse that is not into the idea of homesteading might be concerned with:

    • The cost of starting a homestead
    • Giving up modern convenience
    • Fitting in as a homesteader.
    • Their kids will be deprived and sheltered
    • Family and friends will judge their lifestyle.
    • Added work to their already busy life.

    If any of these objections resonate with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. You can send me a direct message on Instagram. If I didn't list an objection send me that as well.

    087. A LOVE/HATE Relationship with Farm Chores

    087. A LOVE/HATE Relationship with Farm Chores

    Have you ever had a love/hate relationship with something? Well, I have a love/hate relationship with some of my farm work. I don't usually use the word hate, and there are very few things I actually hate. And I don't really hate any of my farm work. But I do strongly dislike some things, and I've come to realize that it's perfectly fine and normal not to love every part of your life. It's the things that challenge us that are often the reason we love the things we love.

    Many tears have been shed throughout my homesteading journey, and a lot of those tears have been due to frustrations with farm work. My hands freezing while removing ice from water troughs and milking goats in below-zero temperatures (though the warm goat teats always warmed them up 😄) are two examples of these frustrating moments and have made me wonder why I chose to have a farm. Massive amounts of manure accumulate on every farm with farm animals. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with it. And the mud!! So much mud during rainy seasons.

    Even though I have times of strong dislike for these things that make having a farm difficult, I still love the homesteading life. I love learning where my mind is limiting me from growth and pushing through it like a seedling emerging from its seed.

    086. How to Start Homesteading in 2024: Free Checklist

    086. How to Start Homesteading in 2024: Free Checklist

    If you are listening to this you are likely a new homesteader or homestead dreamer. You are either in the beginning years or the dreaming years of your journey.

    It seems homesteading has gained in popularity these past few years. It’s no surprise. Since 2020 people have been evaluating their quality of life and their health.

    Sipping tea while sitting on your front porch overlooking the acres of land. Spending your days watching your chickens and goats enjoy the land you own and feeling very satisfied with all of the self-sufficiency skills you are learning in the process.

    Having skills that make you feel less dependent on the grocery store because you know how to grow and raise your food.

    These are the dreams many people are currently having. Well, in 2020 I realize my dream is to see more and more people live the homesteading lifestyle in the best way possible. This includes preventing bad starts and overwhelm.

    On today’s episode, I’m going to revisit the how to start a homestead topic. In the first 5 episodes of this podcast I go in more depth by following the Homesteading for Beginner checklist I create. But I’ve recently updated so I thought I’d go through the checklist again with the updated version.

    085. 6 Steps to Effective Homestead Goal Setting

    085. 6 Steps to Effective Homestead Goal Setting

    I get the excitement and motivation that comes with the start of a new year. It's a fresh slate and a chance to set new goals and make positive changes. However, I also understand that it can be challenging to maintain that enthusiasm as the days go by. That's why it's important to approach goal-setting with a realistic mindset and create a plan that is achievable and sustainable in the long run. Remember to break down your goals into smaller, manageable tasks, and celebrate each milestone along the way to stay motivated throughout the year.

    I have a process for planning and goal setting that has served me well over the years, and I think it can help you if you struggle to plan or maintain your enthusiasm throughout the year.

    Planning and goal-setting process:

      1. Write down all goals
      2. Organize goals based on importance
        • Create separate lists for "Must-Have" and "Want-To-Have" goals
      3. Prioritize Must-Have goals
      4. Divide the year into four quarters
        • January through March (Quarter 1)
        • April through June (Quarter 2)
        • July through September (Quarter 3)
        • October through December (Quarter 4)
      5. Select 1-2 goals from the Must-Have list for each quarter
      6. Create a task list for each goal within the quarters
        • Include actionable daily, weekly, and monthly steps

    084. How to Stay Focused on Your Homesteading Goals in 2024

    084. How to Stay Focused on Your Homesteading Goals in 2024

    While I was planning for my homestead and business goals for 2024, the word "invest" came to mind. I've realized that I need to focus on investing my time, money, and energy into things that will propel my goals forward. This also means reducing or eliminating things that don't contribute to my goals.

    I chose the word "invest" because it carries more weight. When we invest, we are intentional and expect a return on our investment.

    So, for 2024, I choose to invest in:

    • Organizing and automating my time to create more free time.
    • Putting more energy into activities I love, such as spending time with friends and family, working with horses, and engaging in artistic pursuits.
    • Using my money to grow my business and homesteading skills.
    • Focusing on actions that make a significant impact instead of wasting time on trivial matters.

    I'm sharing this with you to encourage you to think about how you can be intentional in the new year. Even if you don't choose a word of the year, find something that symbolizes your commitment to improving your life and getting closer to your goals.

    If you're looking for a word of the year, feel free to use mine. For me, the word usually emerges as a pattern in my life. It may be something that is missing or something I know is necessary.

    I hope your year is off to a great start. Below are some ways I can help you further.

    081. A Healthy Relationship with Rest: Healthy Homesteading Series

    081. A Healthy Relationship with Rest: Healthy Homesteading Series

    When you think of the homesteading lifestyle is part of that picture you racing around trying to get all the stuff done on the farm? Or is it you have a pace that matches nature? A place where time is not your enemy and you have a more relaxed way about you.

    Are you envisioning rest and calm or busyness and hurrying? If you are envisioning rest and calm then you must intentionally set up your life to create that.

    Because the alternative is, you wish for rest and calm but you create busy and hurry n because you didn’t actually learn how to slow down.

    Let’s stop creating busy and then blame busy for our business. How do we do that? By learning the skill of slowing down.

    As homesteaders, we are creating a life close to nature. This is part of the appeal of this lifestyle for many people. Listen to episode 81 and hear more of my thoughts on this topic.
