Belonging: Conversations about rites of passage, meaningful community, and seasonal living

Seasons of Joy & Challenge: Listener Q&A on Homesteading, Motherhood & Community Dynamics


Listen Later

In today’s solo episode, I answer listener questions. We dive into themes of joy and challenges in seasonal living, the intricacies of rural homesteading and navigating community dynamics. I share my personal experiences of farming, motherhood, navigating eco-anxiety, land stewardship and the impact of climate change.

Tune in to hear more from me on:

  • Making a joy list and how this can help during tough seasons
  • What’s been challenging on the farm this Winter
  • How community dynamics play a crucial role in homesteading
  • What to consider and ask yourself before buying a farm or move to a rural area
  • Navigating eco-anxiety and the current political climate as a parent and as a human being
  • How to stay connected to oneself and the land in these times of ego-collapse
