Ep 110. Why So Many Are Leaving the Homesteading Grind- And What I'm Doing Instead


Listen Later

These days, more and more people are quietly stepping back from homesteading — selling off animals, downsizing, or giving up entirely. After reading an article on the Guardian called “Why I Quit My Homestead Dream Just as Farmer Tradwives Became Mainstream,” I knew I had to sit down and talk about this growing trend… and why I’m determined to do things differently.

In this episode, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on homesteading burnout, the pressure to do it all, and how I believe we can build a homestead life that feels balanced, nourishing, and sustainable — without losing our modern freedoms or joy.

If you’ve ever felt like homesteading was becoming just another heavy checklist — this episode is for you.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

🌱 Why so many homesteaders are burning out or stepping back
🌱 How social media has changed the way we view homesteading
🌱 Why community and consistency matter more than perfection
🌱 What I’m doing differently — and how you can too
🌱 A sneak peek inside The Homestead Collective — coming April 1st!
