    213. Park Ranger Julie Stonefelt on Wild Homestead Living: From Suburbia to Self-Sufficiency
    Oct 4 2024
    How do you pursue homesteading while honoring the wildness of the nature around you? The flowers, animals, and flora that live on the land can impact the way you approach your garden. Julie Stonefelt, a full-time park ranger and co-founder of Wild Homestead Living with her husband Kevin, has sought to live off the land while preserving the natural ecosystem of her 2 acre property in the state of Washington. Despite a suburban upbringing, Julie has spent decades honoring a dream she first had with her childhood best friend by crafting a sustainable lifestyle. Julie is also a breast cancer survivor, and shares her compelling journey of discovery and resilience "from cancer to country living." Her goal is to support others in achieving a self-sufficient life, regardless of their location, while understanding and respecting the wildness around us all. Julia emphasizes respecting nature in homesteading, creating resilient, conflict-free gardens, and forming symbiotic relationships with wildlife.

    212. Intro to Slow Living | Part 2 | Overcoming Slow Living Obstacles & FAQ
    Sep 27 2024
    In the second of this episode series, Emma and Mary discuss some obstacles that may come up in trying to live more slowly and sustainably, as well as addressing a few frequently asked questions. They discuss how slow living often seems so out of reach to many of us given all of the distractions of modern life, and offer ways to make it seem a little more accessible. They also talk about how the concept of convenience often gets in the way of more conscious living, giving examples of some practices that have worked in their own lives and offering ideas they've gotten from others as well. Mary and Emma also respond to the idea that slow living is expensive, and therefore not an option for many. As always, the conversation will help you reflect on the possibilities that are already available to you, and encourage those small shifts that make all the difference! 🌻 About Lady Farmer: · Subscribe to The ALMANAC, a Lady Farmer Newsletter & Community · Visit Our Website The Lady Farmer Guide to Slow Living Episodes mentioned: Episode # 110 Designing the Life of Your Dreams with Stephanie O'Dea Episode #150 One Family's Journey in Sustainable Living with Jamilla Edwards Episode # 183 Manifesting the Life You Want with Stephanie O'Dea Follow @weareladyfarmer on Instagram Email us at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail!
