This week I'm joined once again by the delightful Elizabeth Bruckner – acupuncturist, author of The Homesteader Mindset, and full-blown fermentation fanatic – and we go deep into what homesteading really means in the modern world (spoiler: it's not all raccoon hats and rifle-wielding).
We talk about:
The two very different types of homesteaders (spoiler: one owns a pitchfork, the other a Pinterest account).
Why modern homesteading is less about making your own bread and more about making peace with your own choices.
Pattern recognition, intuitive living, and why your brain might know your cream has turned before your nose does.
How Elizabeth channels her inner Merl and exits parties early (with zero guilt and a whole lot of grace).
Why saying "no" doesn't need a sob story or a spreadsheet.
We also get into why community matters, why fear-based motivation is a trap, and how to start doing things your own damn waym - even if your kid's teacher side-eyes your plastic wrap.
Whether you're sourdough-curious, dreaming of chickens, or just tired of pretending you're not done with small talk and birthday parties, this one's for you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
