Feeling overwhelmed while trying to add homesteading skills to an already full life? You’re not alone. In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, I’m continuing our conversation about going from overwhelmed to peaceful and sharing what I’ve learned about building a homestead life that’s sustainable for the long haul.

This is Part 2 of our series on creating peaceful household rhythms instead of rigid schedules. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, I recommend starting there and then coming back to this episode so these ideas can really come together.

👉 Listen to Part 1 and Part 2 here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/3-things-that-keep-our-homestead-running/

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why you don’t have the same energy every day or every season
• How rhythms work better than strict schedules
• Assigning focus days to reduce overwhelm
• Creating household minimums that support your family instead of exhausting you
• Letting go of unrealistic expectations and finding peace in everyday life

If this conversation resonates with you and you’d like help putting it into practice, you’re invited to join me inside the Find Your Peaceful Homestead Rhythm Challenge, where I walk you through creating a custom system for your own home.
