In this inspiring episode, Dr. Lara May sits down with Elizabeth Bruckner—author of The Homesteader Mindset—to explore the powerful connection between self-sufficiency, sustainable living, and mental wellness. With a background in acupuncture and oriental medicine, Elizabeth blends traditional Chinese medicine, the five element theory, and habit creation to help individuals cultivate balance, resilience, and fulfillment in everyday life. Together, they dive into practical tools for building a homesteader mindset, how mental health principles can support a more grounded lifestyle, and why embracing traditional skills can transform not only the way we live but also how we feel. Whether you’re a budding homesteader, a wellness seeker, or simply curious about creating a more meaningful life, this conversation offers insights and encouragement to guide your journey. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2025.
