Holistic Approach for Anyone, Anywhere. Thank you

This little gem of a book is one that will become a dictionary for me and my family for years to come. It’s simple and extremely well thought out to get anyone started in the homesteading realm. As a mindset coach myself, I specifically appreciated how the author took the time to acknowledge the value in learning from mistakes, resilience, and community learning. It’s extremely helpful for ideas for various situations that were a concern for me including a shorter growing season, how to take care of livestock more efficiently and even saving money on a budget by simple, easy to follow ideas.

Perfect book for my big plans

I’ve been curious about homesteading for a while, but a lot of the stuff out there either feels too advanced or like you have to already live off-grid with goats. This book felt more like someone walking you through it step by step, without the pressure to do everything at once. I appreciated how it included things like budgeting, small-space gardening, and even building a support system. It made the idea feel more manageable, not like some huge leap. I’m not rushing into anything, but now I feel like I could actually take a few steps in that direction and not feel totally lost.
