A Farmish Kind of Life

304: Navigating Homestead Life with Opposite Brains


Listen Later

Ever tried tackling a homestead project with someone only to wonder if you’re secretly speaking different languages? In this week’s episode, we’re diving into something that affects every partnership—whether you’re building a rabbitry, fixing a fence, or just figuring out dinner: the wildly different ways our brains work.

Learning styles, strengths, weaknesses—we all have them, and they’re not always the same. My husband’s mechanical and spatial genius often clashes with my strengths in communication and writing, leading to some interesting moments over the years. After 26 years of knowing each other (14 of them spent doing projects on the farm), we’ve learned to navigate our differences, embrace what makes us unique, and find ways to work together without losing our minds.

Tune in as I share some honest stories, lessons learned, and tips for making it work when your partner just doesn’t get it. (Main topic starts at 7:04)
