In this episode (Part 3), we continue the story of how we were offered the opportunity to run a new farm in one of our favorite landscapes of New Mexico. A piece of land we didn’t seek, but that felt strangely familiar - like it had been waiting. It’s a story about listening to something older than logic—soil, intuition, fate—and letting ourselves believe in the possibility of something wildly good.
PS: If you haven't listened to Part I and II, you're gonna want to dive into those first!

From breeding choices, to bovine mood swings. to the soft hope of birth, this is a story of waiting, tending, and trusting the cycles we live inside.

This week, we’re diving into why understanding the division of labor in your household isn’t just about fairness—it’s about sustainability, intimacy, and yes, your erotic life.
Jen and Heathar explore how the rituals of daily life—who does what, when, and why—reveal deeper truths about needs, limitations, and the often unspoken agreements that shape partnership. From litter boxes to mucking cow manure, this conversation peels back the layers of how shared work can become a form of care, a spiritual practice, and even a pathway to desire.

We didn’t exactly take the straight path to our homestead. Try North Carolina, Florida, an unincorporated community in southern New Mexico, three failed offers, a whole lot of second-guessing, and just enough hope and vision to keep going. In this episode, we spill the story of how we finally landed in the mud-covered, soul-stretching place we now call home. It wasn’t fast, it wasn’t easy, but damn—it was worth it.
