Are you overwhelmed by the demands of homestead life? Do you yearn for a sense of peace and purpose as you care for your family and the land entrusted to you? Do you wish for a trusted mentor and companion to support you through the challenges of each day? This podcast helps bridge the gap between the dream of a simple, peaceful homestead and the reality many people face, offering solutions to create the calm and fulfillment you imagined. My mission is to empower you with not only the tools and skills to homestead and manage your home, but to be able to fully utilize them with systems, routines and a big helping of faith.
Hi, Friend. I’m Amanda, a fourth-generation homesteader, mother, and former educator. When I first returned to my childhood farm I was exhausted by how many things had to be done and all the things I needed to learn. My home fell into disarray and my marriage suffered.
But God, in his infinite wisdom gave me a mentor and pulled me out of the never ending cycle of overwhelm. I learned though trial and error how to run a home smoothly and keep it clean (most of the time). I learned traditional skills and how to provide for my family from the land. And I’m ready to share it with you.
If you’re ready to find that mentor in your life, and solutions that are simple and easy to implement. Ready for results that empower you to grow in peace, nurture your loved ones, and steward the home God has provided - then this podcast is for you! Let’s grow together in peace, purpose, and sustainability—both within our homes and across the homestead.

17 | Stressed out and always running? Try this simple routine to create time to be still
When there is so much to do in your home, on your homestead, and with your children every day—how do you find time to be still?
Even when your heart craves a slower pace, life rarely slows down on its own. In this episode, I’m sharing how learning to be mindful and still grounded me in motherhood and homesteading. You’ll hear why rest isn’t lazy, but actually deeply spiritual—and how God uses stillness to meet us right where we are.
We’ll talk about why stillness matters—not as another task on your list, but as a rhythm that nourishes your soul. From feeling guilty about rest to struggling with mental clutter or time scarcity, we’ll name the challenges and share simple, grace-filled ways to make space for peace. Whether it’s five minutes of silence, a quiet chair in the corner, or a walk with your kids—this episode offers practical encouragement rooted in Scripture and real life.
