A Farmish Kind of Life

314: You Don’t Have to Do it All, But…


Listen Later

There’s been a shift in the homesteading world. More and more people are finally admitting that they don’t do it all—and that’s a good thing. It’s honest. It’s refreshing. It’s real.

But what happens when that honesty turns into its own kind of performance?

In today’s episode of the Farmish Kind of Life podcast, I’m talking about the strange pressure that can build on either end of the homesteading spectrum, and how we can find the honest, grounded middle. This isn’t about hustle culture. And it’s not about giving up. It’s about building a life that works for you, and remembering to give yourself credit for it.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
  • Why “doing less” has become its own badge, and why that’s a problem
  • How to stop moving the goalpost
  • The weird, unspoken competition that creeps into the simple life
  • A reminder that your effort matters, even when it’s quiet
  • Encouragement to show up and let it be enough
  • (Don’t miss the main topic that starts at 5:41!)
