The Schoolhouse Life

Have you ever noticed that personal growth doesn't always help you get away from the problems that you're working so hard on? Don't get me wrong, we do get better and we do grow, but it seems like sometimes we come back around to a different version of the same problem, maybe even years later. When we look at nature this makes total sense! We are growing like a spiral, like tree rings, we are growing out and the issues we deal with help us grow mighty.

We hope you enjoy this episode, feel free to share, and don't forget to leave us a review.

We all have the secret room, the one with the door we can close when guests come over. Heck, we may have more than one of those. e-hem. 

Like anything in life, maybe it's more to-do with our lack of planning than it is to do with our shortcomings? Thanks to this chat with Stephanie I am feeling much more capable of not just cleaning, but KEEPING things cleaner. Her tips, tricks, and demos are inspiring, and decluttering this way proves not to be just about the home, but about the mind. Chaos be GONE!

We went live in our Schoolhouse Life FB Group a few weeks ago about planning and starting from scratch.  We covered so much and answered some really good questions so we decided we had to share this with you all on our podcast!

If we were starting from scratch. Again. Here's what we'd do!

Dr. Alexsandra Vujnovic shares how her practice as a chiropractor helps folks regain a state of thriving balance. Her wisdom on how we can all achieve better health in simpler and less invasive ways are encouraging and offer folks a glimpse into the world of holistic medicine + chiropractic that might just be the ticket in stepping out of simple survival and into growth--because it's true! Fundamentally, you can't do both.

There is pollen all over now in the southeast and people are having to play the same game as last year. "pollen or pandemic?" in the grocery store. Trust me as an allergy sufferer sneezing is pretty awkward nowadays.

Take a listen as we give you the low down on how to naturally beat back those allergies.

This call with Nathalie gets a little hard--but in all the best ways. 

Her lifestyle of self-sufficient living off the land is inspiring! But, even if you still need to make grocery trips, it's important to consider HOW you get your food--do you even deserve to eat meat? It's time to eat good, but not just for yourself.

It's springtime on the homestead and everything is going so fast. We are finishing up fences, greenhouses, shearing sheep, putting plants in the ground, feeding compost to trees, and the list goes on.

Join us as we chat about what we have going on. Hopefully, it spurs a few ideas for you.

In the fall I gifted myself a beautiful Harvesting + Wildcrafting poster that I simply adored, and it's better in real life than it was on Instagram! As a result, I reached out to the artist and asked her to share more about her work with us. Chelsea Granger is passionate about making plants a part of life for everyone, and this poster is just the tip of her iceberg.

Her work includes an incredible selection of tools disguised as art--practical, useful, and so pleasing to look at! Have a listen to our call and be inspired by how SIMPLE + BEAUTIFUL nature can be.
