There’s something about having a farm that forces you into a routine. You wake up, you go outside, you move your body, and you take care of something that depends on you. It’s an ancestral rhythm that feels so… right.

But in the city (or even just modern life), it’s way too easy to roll out of bed, grab your phone, and stay inside all morning. Especially in the winter (guilty ✋).

That’s why I recorded this new episode—so we can bring that fulfilling, farm-style routine into our everyday lives.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through practical ways to create a morning routine that gets you outside, moving, and connected to nature—even if you don’t have land or animals to tend to. (Because you don’t need a farm to live like a homesteader.)

Have you ever felt like homesteading just isn’t an option for you? Maybe you don’t have acres of land, a big garden, or endless free time. Maybe you’re wondering:

➡ Where do I even start?

If any of that sounds familiar, I’ve got something for you. 🎙️

✔ What homesteading actually means today (hint: it’s not just for people with farms)

Homesteading doesn’t have to be all or nothing. It’s about small, sustainable steps that make a difference. Let’s do this together.

Are you jumping on the bio-hacking bandwagon?

What is bio-hacking? Biohacking is the practice of making small, intentional lifestyle changes to optimize physical and mental performance. It often includes techniques like sauna therapy, cold plunges, targeted nutrition, and detox protocols to enhance well-being and longevity.

Brooke of the ​Wellness Farm Chat podcast​ and I had a great conversation about all the bio-hacks we tried and came to a conclusion on our favorites that actually work!
