Have you felt it? Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.

    S13 E2: Creating a Timeless Home in an Instant Age

    S13 E2: Creating a Timeless Home in an Instant Age

    Why do modern homes fail to capture our imagination like old houses do? How are fast food and "fast homes" related? 
    Master builder and craftsman, Brent Hull, joins me for this fantastic interview to discuss how we moved from beautiful, traditional homes into "instant houses" and how we can bring timeless style back into our spaces (and why it matters). You won't want to miss this conversation!

    S13 E5: How to Design an Old-Fashioned Home that Fosters Creativity

    S13 E5: How to Design an Old-Fashioned Home that Fosters Creativity

    The concept of home has changed drastically in our modern era. Once considered a place of industry, it's now a place merely for sleeping and eating. But as old-fashioned minded people, we have the opportunity to rewrite that narrative. 
    In this episode, I'm joined by Lyndsey of Treehouse Schoolhouse as she shares her best strategies for cultivating a home filled with nature, creativity, and wonder.

    S13 E6: Picky Eaters, Intuitive Eating, & Organ Meat Magic

    They're one of the most nutritious foods we can eat, so why is there such an "ick factor" surrounding them? We're talking about organ meats today! 
    In this episode, I'm joined by James Barry, professional chef and passionate organ meat advocate. But this conversation goes much deeper than just beef liver or tongue. We discuss intuitive eating, how to encourage picky eaters to be more adventurous, his favorite tricks for incorporating more nutrient-dense ingredients in your diet, and lots more!
