Stay Rooted + Stay Wild!

Have you ever felt like you lost a part of yourself while caring for everyone else?

Between motherhood, marriage, homemaking, work, endless to-do lists, and the demands of modern life, many women slowly lose touch with the creative part of themselves. The woman who once loved making, building, baking, painting, gardening, learning, and creating simply for the joy of it.

In this heartfelt episode of Womenfolk Revival, Maggie and Meara explore why women have always been natural creators and how modern culture has quietly shifted us from creating with our hands to consuming everything around us. They discuss traditional homemaking, modern homesteading, intentional motherhood, slow living, creativity, handmade homes, family traditions, and the importance of making space for the things that nourish your own soul.

Together they share personal stories about rediscovering creativity through podcasting, gardening, painting, herbalism, baking from scratch, and building meaningful homes filled with intention instead of perfection. They also discuss overcoming guilt, why every hobby doesn't need to become a business, and how creating something with your own hands reconnects you with generations of women who came before you.

If you've ever wondered what happened to the woman you used to be, or you're longing for a slower, more peaceful, and intentional way of living, this conversation is for you.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why women were created to create, not just consume
 • Rediscovering yourself after motherhood and caregiving
 • How creativity helps restore joy and purpose
 • Traditional homemaking and modern homesteading
 • Slow living and intentional living
 • Why handmade homes tell meaningful stories
 • Overcoming guilt and making time for yourself
 • Gardening, baking, herbalism, and creating with your hands
 • Building family traditions that leave a lasting legacy
 • Living with intention instead of chasing productivity

Building a Life That Doesn't Cost You Yourself | A Conversation with Dr. Carla Caturia

What if success isn't measured by everything you've accomplished...

...but by whether you've built a life that allows you to truly be yourself?

In this special episode of Womenfolk Revival, we welcome Dr. Carla Caturia, educator, speaker, coach, and founder of House of RISE, for a heartfelt conversation about identity, emotional resilience, parenting, and the hidden cost of constantly striving for more.

After spending more than twenty years in education, Dr. Carla began noticing a troubling pattern. Many of the students who appeared successful on the outside were quietly carrying anxiety, perfectionism, pressure, and self-doubt. That realization led her to step away from the traditional education system and dedicate her work to helping children, teens, and families build confidence, emotional resilience, and a deep sense of self-worth.

Together we explore:

🌿 Why achievement should never define your worth

🌿 Raising resilient children in a performance-driven world

🌿 Helping kids develop emotional intelligence and confidence

🌿 Public school, homeschooling, and creating environments where children can truly thrive

🌿 Letting go of old identities and embracing new seasons of life

🌿 Why slowing down may be one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our families

🌿 Faith, surrender, and learning that you don't have to prove your worth to anyone

Whether you're a parent, educator, caregiver, or simply someone learning to rediscover who you are beneath life's expectations, this conversation offers encouragement to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember what truly matters.

Because the greatest success isn't building a life that impresses everyone else...

It's building a life that doesn't cost you yourself.

Stay rooted. Stay wild.

Have you ever found yourself longing for a slower, simpler life but wondered if what you're really craving has less to do with owning land and more to do with finding peace again?

In this episode of Womenfolk Revival, we're sharing the honest reality of homesteading, slow living, and returning to a life that feels more intentional. We've killed plants, failed at sourdough, wasted money on projects, questioned ourselves, and learned that building a meaningful life isn't about getting everything right. 

It's about slowing down, learning as you go, and embracing the beauty of ordinary moments.

We talk about why so many women today feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from the life they truly want. Together we explore the growing desire to garden, bake bread, raise chickens, grow food, reconnect with nature, and create a home that feels peaceful instead of rushed. We also discuss the reality behind the beautiful social media images of homesteading and why comparison often steals the joy from the journey.

Whether you dream of a farmhouse on acres of land or simply want to plant a few flowers on your porch, this conversation is for you. Slow living is not about perfection or having everything figured out. It is about choosing intentional moments that bring you closer to your family, your Creator, your community, and the life you were designed to live.

In this episode we discuss:

Slow living and intentional living

The truth about homesteading beyond social media

Why women are craving a slower pace of life

Beginner gardening mistakes and what they taught us

Learning sourdough without the pressure of perfection

Backyard chickens and knowing when you're truly ready

Finding peace in everyday moments

Building community instead of trying to do everything alone

How nature teaches patience, resilience, and contentment

Practical ways to start living more intentionally today

Stay Rooted + Stay wild

Are you exhausted, overwhelmed, more emotional than usual, and wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore?

Maybe you've noticed the brain fog. The irritability. The changes in your sleep, energy, mood, or weight. Maybe you've even asked yourself, "What is wrong with me?"
But what if the better question is...

"What is my body trying to tell me?"
In this episode of Womenfolk Revival, Meara and Maggie explore why so many women are running on empty and why rest has become something we feel like we have to earn.

They talk about the pressure women carry to constantly produce, care for everyone else, and keep pushing through exhaustion while ignoring the signals our bodies are sending us.

Together, they discuss the confusing overlap between perimenopause, thyroid health, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, and the mental load women carry every day.

This conversation is not about finding a quick fix.
It is about slowing down long enough to listen.

In this episode, we explore:
• Why women often push through exhaustion instead of resting
• Why rest is not laziness and why our culture makes us feel guilty for needing it
• How perimenopause symptoms can overlap with stress and thyroid concerns
• Brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, anxiety, sleep struggles, and feeling unlike yourself
• The invisible mental load women carry every day
• Why symptoms are often connected to multiple factors, not just one cause
• How tracking symptoms can help you advocate for yourself with your healthcare provider
• Supporting your body through nutrition, whole foods, and foundational health habits
• The role of nutrients like iodine, selenium, zinc, and iron in thyroid support
• Why listening to your body is a form of self-care, not weakness

Many women spend years asking:
"Why can't I handle what I used to?"
"Why am I so tired?"
"Why don't I feel like myself?"
Maybe the answer isn't that you are failing.
Maybe your body has been trying to get your attention.

Whether you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, motherhood, caregiver fatigue, thyroid concerns, chronic stress, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the pace of modern life, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen, and reconnect.
Because healing does not always begin with doing more.
Sometimes it begins with rest.

The Lost Art of Being Bored | Why Kids Need Imagination

When was the last time you sat outside and watched a sunset without reaching for your phone?

When was the last time your children were bored long enough to create something from their own imagination?

In today's world, screens are everywhere. They're in our homes, our pockets, our restaurants, our waiting rooms, and often in the hands of even the youngest children. Yet while technology has connected us to more information than ever before, many families are beginning to wonder what we may be losing in the process.

In this episode of Womenfolk Revival, we explore the lost art of boredom and why unstructured time may be one of the most important gifts we can give our children. We talk about growing up before smartphones, creating games from nothing, building forts, spending hours outdoors, and learning how imagination flourishes when children aren't constantly entertained.

We also discuss how screens affect more than just children. They impact parents, relationships, conversations, awareness, and our ability to be fully present with the people we love most.

This isn't a conversation about throwing away technology or rejecting modern life. It's about becoming more intentional with our attention and creating homes where connection, creativity, conversation, and family rhythms still have room to grow.

Throughout the episode, we share personal stories about raising children without personal devices, attachment parenting, co-sleeping, family movie nights, fort building, and the simple moments that often become the memories our children carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Because at the end of the day, our children probably won't remember what was trending online.

They'll remember how home felt.

In This Episode

• Why boredom is not a problem to solve
• How imagination develops through unstructured play
• The impact of screens on childhood and family connection
• Raising children without phones and social media
• Family rhythms that encourage creativity and togetherness
• The importance of eye contact, conversation, and presence
• Why childhood memories are often built from simple moments
• Fort building, family movie nights, and creating a sense of belonging
• Attachment parenting, co-sleeping, and connection-focused family life
• Reclaiming attention in a distracted world

Key Takeaways

• Boredom is often the birthplace of creativity.
• Children do not need constant entertainment to thrive.
• Presence matters more than perfection.
• Family connection is built in ordinary everyday moments.
• Technology is a tool, but it should not replace real life.
• The memories that last are often the simplest ones.

The Lost Village | Why Mothers Were Never Meant to Do This Alone

Modern women have never been more connected, and yet many feel more isolated than ever.

In this episode of Womenfolk Revival, Meara and Maggie explore the disappearance of the village and why so many women are longing for deeper connection, stronger communities, and meaningful relationships in a world that often feels disconnected and overwhelmed.

Together, they discuss the loss of multi-generational living, the impact of technology and social media on modern relationships, why children need boredom and unstructured play, and how women can begin rebuilding the support systems that previous generations often took for granted.

From motherhood and marriage to friendship, family, and community, this conversation explores what it means to create a life rooted in connection rather than constant productivity.

Because perhaps the village isn't something we find.

Perhaps it's something we build.

In This Episode

•  Why motherhood was never meant to be done alone 
•  The disappearance of the village in modern life 
•  Why so many women feel disconnected despite social media

•  Why children need boredom, creativity, and unstructured play 
•  Screen time, technology, and meaningful connection 
•  Building intentional relationships in adulthood

Key Takeaways

The Village Isn't Something You Find

Many women spend years searching for the perfect support system, but true community is often built one conversation, one friendship, and one act of kindness at a time.

Connection Matters More Than Ever

Technology allows us to communicate constantly, yet many people feel more isolated than previous generations. Human connection remains essential for emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

Children Need More Than Entertainment

Boredom creates space for creativity, imagination, problem-solving, and independent thinking. Some of the most meaningful childhood experiences happen when screens are turned off.

Women Need Other Women

Whether married or single, mothers or not, women thrive when they have meaningful relationships, support, and community with other women.

Small Steps Matter

A text message, a phone call, an invitation for coffee, or an honest conversation can be the beginning of rebuilding the village.

•  Community building and intentional friendship

Traditional Nourishment: The Forgotten Power of Homemade Broth

Have we forgotten some of the most nourishing foods our grandparents relied on every day?

In this episode of Womenfolk Revival, we explore the traditional kitchen practices that once formed the foundation of family nourishment. From homemade bone broth and nourishing stocks to slow-cooked meats, healthy fats, collagen-rich foods, and mineral-dense meals, we discuss how generations before us used simple ingredients to support their families long before supplements and convenience foods existed.

As modern life has shifted toward convenience, many of these traditional practices have quietly disappeared. Yet homemade broth remains one of the simplest and most affordable ways to bring deep nourishment back into the home.

Sometimes the answers we're searching for aren't found in a supplement aisle, they're found in the pantry we forgot.

In This Episode We Discuss
The difference between nourishment and convenience
Why homemade bone broth was once a kitchen staple
Natural sources of collagen, minerals, and healthy fats
How traditional foods supported family wellness
Using leftover bones and scraps to reduce waste
Simple ways to begin making homemade broth
The connection between traditional nourishment and modern health concerns
Why food once served as both medicine and daily sustenance

We also touch on the work of Weston A. Price and the insights from traditional cultures that relied on whole foods, animal-based nourishment, and seasonal cooking.

Quotes from the Episode

"Have we been throwing away the most nourishing parts of our food, then buying them back in supplement form?"

"Sometimes the answers we're searching for aren't found in a supplement aisle, they're found in the pantry we forgot."

"For generations, people were getting nourishment from everyday foods, eggs, butter, cream, slow-cooked meats, and broth."

Key Takeaway

Sometimes returning to simple things isn’t about doing more, it’s about remembering.

Remembering that nourishment doesn’t always come from a bottle. Some of the most valuable foods are already in our kitchens, waiting to be used.

FAQ

What is bone broth?
Bone broth is made by slowly simmering bones and connective tissue to create a mineral-rich, nourishing broth often used in soups, cooking, or drinking on its own.

Is homemade broth actually healthy?
Yes. Traditional broth contains minerals, gelatin, and nutrients that support digestion, joint health, and overall nourishment when made from quality ingredients.

What’s the difference between broth and stock?
Stock is typically made primarily from bones, while broth can include both meat and bones. Both serve as a flavorful, nutrient-rich base for cooking.

How do you use bone broth in everyday meals?
It can be used to cook rice, make soups, stews, sauces, or simply sipped warm as a nourishing drink.

Do I need special ingredients to make it?
No. Most broths can be made using leftover bones, vegetable scraps, water, and basic kitchen staples.

The Fat Revolution: When Did We Become So Afraid of Fat?

Butter. Ghee. Tallow. Cream.
For generations, families around the world cooked with traditional fats that were available through their climate, culture, and local food systems. Somewhere along the way, many of us began fearing the very foods our grandparents considered ordinary.
In this episode of Womenfolk Revival, Meara and Maggie explore traditional fats, ingredient labels, food culture, and why simple foods often contain fewer ingredients than the products filling modern grocery store shelves.
We discuss:

•  Butter, ghee, tallow, and traditional cooking fats 
•  Reading ingredient labels and asking better questions about our food 
•  Traditional kitchens and ancestral foodways 
•  Cooking with intention instead of perfection 
•  Small changes families can make without overwhelming their budget 
•  Why traditional food looks different around the world 
•  Nourishing our families with simple, recognizable ingredients 

This conversation isn't about perfection. It's about becoming more aware, asking questions, and taking small steps toward understanding where our food comes from.

Episode Highlights
Meara and Maggie open with a simple but powerful observation: traditional fats were once normal, everyday ingredients, not something controversial or confusing.
They break down what fats like tallow, ghee, and butter actually are, and how they’ve been used across cultures for centuries.

Maggie shares how tallow can come from different animals depending on region and availability, while Meara reflects on how quickly something unfamiliar can feel intimidating, until it becomes part of daily life.
A recurring theme throughout the conversation is this:

Modern food has become more complicated than it needs to be.

Both hosts talk about reading ingredient labels and noticing how many modern products contain long lists of additives, while traditional foods often contain just one or two ingredients.
Food Labels, Trust & Modern Confusion
One of the most striking parts of the conversation is how often both hosts now flip over food packaging before buying anything.
Meara shares how she’s started asking:

•  What is this? 
•  What’s in it? 
•  What purpose does it serve? 

Maggie points out how many products that seem “normal” contain ingredients most people wouldn’t recognize, or expect.
They also reflect on the difference between countries, noting how the same brands often contain fewer ingredients overseas than in the United States.
The conversation isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness.
Traditional Fats in the Kitchen
The episode explores how fats like butter, tallow, coconut oil, avocado oil, and olive oil are used in everyday cooking.
Meara shares how she uses:

•  Butter for cooking fish and chicken 
•  Ghee or tallow for high-heat meals 
•  Coconut oil for popcorn 

Maggie talks about making popcorn from scratch on the stovetop and finishing it with butter and mineral salt, turning a simple snack into something nourishing and intentional.
They both emphasize that traditional cooking fats aren’t complicated—they’re practical.
Small Changes, Not Perfection
A major takeaway from this episode is that change doesn’t have to be extreme.
You don’t need to throw everything out.
 You don’t need a perfect pantry.
 You don’t need to overhaul your entire diet overnight.
Instead:

•  Start by reading ingredient labels 
•  Choose simpler versions of everyday foods 
•  Swap one cooking fat at a time 
•  Notice how real foods make you feel 

As Maggie puts it, it’s about deciding what matters and making gradual changes that fit your life and budget.
Why This Matters
The conversation goes deeper than food.
It touches on:

•  Health and energy 
•  Modern convenience culture 
•  Trust in food systems 
•  The loss of traditional knowledge 
•  Reconnecting with ancestral food practices 

Meara reflects on how traditional kitchens weren’t built around perfection—they were built around feeding families well with what was available.
Final Reflection
Before closing, the hosts encourage listeners to do one simple thing:
Next time you’re at the grocery store, turn a package around and read the ingredients.
Do you recognize them?
 Do you understand them?
 Or have they become unfamiliar?
That small act of awareness is where change begins.
Because sometimes the simplest foods really are the most nourishing.

What are traditional cooking fats?
Traditional fats include butter, ghee, tallow, lard, and animal fats that were commonly used before modern seed oils became widespread.

Yes—fats play an essential role in hormone health, brain function, and nutrient absorption, especially fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
What is tallow?
Tallow is rendered fat, typically from beef or sheep, used for cooking, skincare, and even candle making.
Can I cook everything with tallow or butter?
Many foods can be cooked with traditional fats, but variety is helpful. Olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil also have their place depending on heat and use.
Do I need to change my entire diet to eat healthier fats?
No. Small swaps and gradual changes are more sustainable than overhauling everything at once.
