Grounded in Maine

Krystal Holm caught my eye easily with her beautiful one sheet, as I'm trudging through making my own up, hers looks so professional - and a sustainable lifestyle just sound so perfect, doesn't it? I was very curious to learn more!

Krystal has a fascinating history that I'll let her tell, but she's currently a Feng Shui Master, and has a very specific plan. I just love her story of getting to where she is! Please give a listen here to learn more about her!

Her business is called Designed Life Studio, and she's offering a free gift for listeners at this link here: https://www.krystalholm.com/declutteryourmindset/

*Disclaimer: we know the sound is not awesome. It was Earth Day, and Desiree was outside to enjoy it. When offered to re-record, she didn't want to take away from the authenticity of the conversation, and I'm honoring that. Please still listen - the message is SO good!*
Desiree and her fiance Davis and I talked about having this chat last OCTOBER while farm stand shopping, and I'm so excited about this finally airing!
I am in awe of people who can say "what's the worst that could happen?" and do whatever thing they want to - I'm such a scaredy cat!
Desiree didn't grow up in a 'homestead-y' home, though she says she remembers her grandmother gardening - we just were young, and weren't thinking about what they were doing as sustainable- it was just a 'grandmothery thing,' so we didn't give any attention. These days, though, Desiree's not only gardening, but she's eating weeds from her lawn - and more!
I just love her attitude about it all, and also ALL that she's doing is such a contrast from where she was, and that impresses me so much.
Desiree works full time, and on weekends you'll find her making the week's bread or kombucha, tending her chickens and garden- and always with her beautiful, super sweet  dog. She also said something so powerful toward the end of this episode that I hope you'll catch!

I was stopped in my tracks when Amy Bushatz told me about her project Humans Outside 365 - it was so simple, yet we all have times when we need a break, and basking in the sun just changes your whole outlook, right?

Amy has her own podcast called- you guessed it, Humans Outside. She has done a lot of research, and has talked to so many people (she's got over 300 episodes published!) about the benefits of outside time, and will tell us about just a few of them in this conversation, and, more importantly, what brought her to this place in her life to make this choice and spend so much time talking about it.

Amy is a journalist by trade, and moved her family from Tennessee to Alaska without even visiting. She documents each day/outside 'session' with an Instagram post, so definitely follow her there!

Amy Bushatz and her family since we talked have traveled to Hollywood, CA and the White House to promote a documentary that they were involved in - again, you'll have to check out her Instagram posts to get caught up, but get a good look at Amy and her passion for outside in this episode!

I found Joy Kelly on Linkedin and was impressed by how active she is there, and when I learned about her rooftop farm I knew I had to have her talk on the podcast. Joy is super passionate about healthy eating, and is doing everything she can to share the message, and I'm here for it all!
Joy has a produce growing tower to make growing your own produce almost foolproof, and she gives funding options when you listen. She also shared some incredible stats that you can see her share on my YouTube channel.
Joy and her daughter Jake have a really entertaining YouTube show of their own called Cook With Jake and Joy, with some really great looking (and easy enough to do for yourself) plant-based foods, and the commentary while doing it will keep you coming back for more. Listen to the whole episode here!

Noah Kleiner blew my mind so many times during our conversation, and now I can't see him for "a climber," because he is so much deeper-

Noah's work is teaching people rock climbing and ice climbing, but also to respect and appreciate the complexity, and also the simplicity of the world. Noah lives in awe of his surroundings and it's so inspiring to hear about! Literally, I could listen to him tell stories about his experiences for hours!

Noah's business, Equinox Climbing, is out of the Camden, Maine area, but they do climbing adventures anywhere (Acadia National Park anyone?), and they offer summer camps for the young people also!

I met Everett Hanmer virtually at a Numospect Media event during Podfest, an international podcast convention, and I was drawn to his love for movies, even though I'm not a big movie watcher; but Everett is the Podcast Host of The Plot Twist Podcast, all about movies! I'm totally hooked on the podcast; sometimes feel like I'm living vicariously and I'm fine for him to do all the work, and sometimes I regret not playing closer attention to Hollywood. I highly recommend The Plot Twist - available everywhere!
I invited Everett to be my podcast guest, and he said "I'm not really that sustainable, but my sister is;" but then the more he thought about it, kept adding things to his list, and he sounds kind of like a sustainability superhero to me - or at least a great example - and a really fun guest. Listen to the full episode here!

Deanna Yates is the passionate podcast host of the Wannabe Minimalist Podcast, and we met chatting during a podcast workshop (it's actually encouraged to network!). I'm very interested in minimalism, but I have the "hoarding gene," if that's a real thing, so I'm conflicted. Deanna shared some really inspiring physical and mental benefits of having less stuff, and gives personal examples - listen in, and be impressed!

I was so excited about the chance to help promote this powerful documentary To Which We Belong, Directed and Executive Produced by Pamela Tanner Boll, and also felt a little intimidated about the subject, so I called on Adam Cohen to help me make the most of the opportunity - so I have TWO guests for this special episode! 
This is Pamela's 3rd documentary that she has put out as Director and Executive Producer.
Quote from the website about the film: "The result of regenerative agriculture & ocean farming is more abundance of healthier food all without the need for antibiotics or synthetic fertilizers.

Healthy land, water, and animals = healthy humans."

Pamela was so generous with her time, and sharing this extremely important and urgent message. Please click all the links to  learn more, and SHARE this wide - people need to know about this message, and what we can do to support this movement.
To access the documentary, click this link: https://www.towhichwebelong.com/
Pamela's statement about the documentary is here: https://www.towhichwebelong.com/directors_statement_with_pamela_tanner_boll
Documentary full screening guide is here: https://towhichwebelong.lpages.co/screening-guide/

Adam Cohen was a guest on episode 30 of Grounded in Maine Podcast. He had a business growing 800 lbs of gourmet mushrooms weekly, and teaches his school students how to grow different types of gardens . He specializes in all things urban agriculture, and was the best possible co-host I could've had for this conversation. Go back and listen to episode 30 here:

This was so beautiful, I'm just sharing Margaruette's own words - and this is why I wanted so badly to have her as my podcast guest!
" An important part of creating a more environmentally sustainable future is building relationships between the next generation and the non-human world. These relationships are fostered when youth have the opportunity to explore and meaningfully engage with nature. From my childhood to present day, Maine’s forests, beaches, and natural resources have nourished me physically and emotionally. Having had the privilege to experience the benefits of these things has made me eager to both protect them for and share them with those who will come after me. This creates a beautiful chain reaction: sharing the magic of the natural world with the youth I work with connects them more deeply to that world and makes them more likely to share in my desire of protecting it."

I met Margaruette at Replenova Farm Store, where I shop and make jam, and I was smitten with her instantly, and would change my plans if I heard she was around - literally. You'll hear more about her in the episode, and hopefully will totally get why.

Greg Crafter is an inspiration to me - period. He was frustrated by the lack of fresh food his community had, so he started growing it with under his business name Produce'd! Greg  created Grow Blocks, which are in-home hydroponic gardens that let you grow enough fresh, better-than-organic produce to feed 4 people. He also has a podcast called Grow With Greg, talking about - you might have guessed-- growing food - but hydroponically! Learn all about him and his big heart here!
