Spring cleaning is ALL the rage on the interwebs, and there are a few buzzwords that go around this time of year. Mainly, "minimalism." Don't run away yet! I know... most of us homesteady types are NOT here for minimalism.

Check out 5 mistakes I made when I thought I had to be a minimalist and how we can all learn a few minimalist values to help reach our 2024 goals!

Ep 26. Can you be a homesteader and a minimalist? 5 Ways I Got Minimalism All Wrong

Do you feel like you want to cook from scratch, grow more of your own food, or live intentionally—but never have the time or energy to do it all?

Tried diving headfirst into homesteading only to end up overwhelmed, burnt out, or wondering where to even begin?

You’re not alone.

If you’re ready to build a homestead life that actually works with your modern, busy schedule—this podcast is for you.

Inside The Homestead Challenge, you’ll find time-saving routines, realistic strategies, and practical tips to help you simplify home systems, grow what you can, and start living from scratch—without the pressure to do it all perfectly.

Hey friend. I’m Brittany—crunchy mom, city homesteader, and your go-to for making slow living possible in real life. I tried the all-at-once approach to homesteading… and crashed hard into burnout. Turns out, trying to master everything at once just wastes time, money, and a whole lot of mental energy.

But here’s the good news: homesteading doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You can do this in small steps that make a big impact.

If you’re ready to create a from-scratch lifestyle with more rhythm and less chaos—grab that sourdough starter from the back of the fridge... it’s time to rise.
