In this episode, I share the personal challenges and transformative decisions that led me to leave social media and focus on my mental and emotional well-being. From the joy of having my family live with us to the heartbreak of losing my beloved horse, this summer has been a rollercoaster. Learn why I've slowed down my podcast frequency, my plans for vlogging, and how I'm rediscovering creativity without the constant distraction of social media. If you're keen on sustainable homesteading or just need inspiration to unplug and reconnect with yourself, this episode is for you!
