This is a conversation between new friends and neighbors.

The only in-person interview recorded, Rahel came to Jeana's home on a weeknight and they had the luxury to sit and talk together. Jeana wanted to pick her brain about books she’s reading, her philosophies on parenting, and how she completely transformed her life from a former costume designer living in Los Angeles to a health advocate, herbalist, homeschooling mama and Vermont farmer.
