  • 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!
