  • Goal setting as a couple

    #couplegoals

    Nope, we’re not talking about the perfect Instagram couple that seems to have everything figured out.

    We’re talking about the mom who wants to lose weight and the dad who wants to save money and how they can align these individual goals and also create joint goals.

    If you feel your couple or individual goals have been misaligned lately or have no joint relationship goals, this episode is for you! 

    Goal setting as a couple is a powerful tool for personal and relational growth. It fosters a sense of unity, creates a supportive environment, and ensures that both partners are actively engaged in each other's journeys.

  • What Motivates You?

    New year, new beginnings. We have all heard this saying a thousand times before.

    But while we all go into the new year with new aspirations, dreams, and goals, are we truly committed to them? Do we really know what gets us out of bed each morning, propelling us into the day with purpose and enthusiasm? Are we prepared to do what it takes to reach our goals?

    When we started our homestead journey, this is how it went for us: Yeah, we moved to a farm, we can do all these wonderful things! Jared, please build me a chicken coop. Oh, wait, I think we need a few animal shelters for the alpacas. Or maybe we should start our garden beds. No, actually, put in our fruit trees first.

    See where we’re going with this? We had so many plans and ideas but no clearly set goals and a plan of action on how to accomplish them.

    And this is often the case with our personal dreams, aspirations, and goals.

    Join us, Jared and Annette, as we explore the motivations that fuel ambitions, the power of goals in shaping lives, and effective strategies for setting your goals and actually achieving them.

    At the end of this episode, you’ll be clearer than you have ever been on how to finally reach your goals and make you excited about the year ahead!

    We also love to hear from you! Ask us anything about this topic. And if you don’t mind, we will share and discuss it anonymously on this podcast with fellow listeners! Text your question or message to (310) 879-8441.

  • What is a Happy Farmily?

    Welcome to our new yet not-so-new podcast!

    Let’s rewind it a bit, shall we?

    It all started with two city lovers - a risk-taker entrepreneur and a more conservative rapid-response nurse (although she did venture into the exciting world of designing wedding gowns!)

    They fell deeply in love, pursued all sorts of careers and business ventures, got married, yearned for a slower pace of life, started searching for the perfect piece of land, waited six years to find one, got pregnant soon after, and started their podcast a week after their little girl arrived.

    Ok, so that is the short version! And, of course, we are talking about us, Jared and Annette.

    Fast forward 10 years, and here we are today, surrounded by our #happyfarmily of chickens, donkeys, alpacas, goats, and more, making our podcast bigger and better for you.

    We have a passion for healthy relationships and getting the most out of life, and want to share it all with you.

    Come listen to our full story on how we got here, and join us as we take on this wild but amazing ride called life!

    Next week, we’ll dive into how the power of goal setting can shape your life and share some strategies on how to achieve your new year's goals.

    We also love to hear from you! Ask us anything about this topic. And if you don’t mind, we will share and discuss it anonymously on this podcast with fellow listeners! Text your question or message to (310) 879-8441.

  • Here are Some Highlights From Our Year

    Azure Farm is located just outside the tiny town of Adairsville, Georgia -  about an hour north of Atlanta.  We moved out here and started our farm in pursuit of a more simple lifestyle. We wanted to get back to the basics. The rat race and the hustle and bustle were quickly replaced by a love for gardening, harvesting food, quiet evenings with the sounds of crickets, and sunny azure sky days. We hope sharing peeks into our daily lives can inspire you to live more of your life outdoors and ultimately to slow down. We are passionate that we all must slow down to really appreciate what matters in life.

About Happy Farmily

From the publisher's feed

There is one thing that brings us the most joy in life - great relationships. But if our relationships are unhealthy - life doesn’t have much joy.
