  • Feels Like Visiting with Your Sweetest Friend

    Michelle has the most precious voice and manner. After listening to a couple episodes, I’m now considering Kombucha and raising chickens. How does she do it?

    She is kind and a calm encouragement to doing more things at home. I will continue to listen while working and dream about what seeds to start, which fresh milled bread recipe to use next, and which herb to dry for our chickens (the ones we don’t have yet). This is great

  • My new favorite!

    I recently found this podcast and have been binge listening to it. I am obsessed! It is not only incredibly informative and helpful in my homesteading and natural living journey, but it is also very calming and I find myself listening to it when I need to center and clear my head from the craziness of my day. I find Michelle’s voice and way of speaking to just be extremely calming. I recently started doing fresh milled flour and her episodes in that were amazing!

    She doesn’t believe in the established science of climate change but does spread conspiracy theories about democrats controlling the weather. Not a good person.
