    A Rebellion of Care: Resistance Through Community and Conscience

    In this episode, I talk with poet and author David Gate about what it means to live with intention in a chaotic world. We explore how everyday choices—like gardening, avoiding plastic, and creating art—can be powerful acts of resistance. David shares the heart behind his book A Rebellion of Care and offers a deeply personal, hopeful look at building community, embracing nuance, and following conscience over convenience. This conversation is for anyone seeking a slower, more connected way of living—even (especially) when the world feels overwhelming.

    The Winter Rebellion: Slowing Down on Purpose

    As we step into 2026 and the quiet of winter, Kathie shares a personal reflection on what it means to live slowly and intentionally this season—not out of obligation or productivity, but out of deep, soul-level desire. In this unscripted episode of The Quiet Rebellion, you’re invited to pause and consider: How do you want winter to feel? Kathie speaks about resisting the pressure to hustle, the wisdom of nature’s slower pace, and the small, steady acts—like making soup or walking in the cold air—that bring us home to ourselves. Winter, she reminds us, is not a season for chasing goals, but for tending the hearth, nourishing the spirit, and resting in enoughness. If you’ve been craving stillness, simplicity, and a different way to begin the year, this gentle rebellion might be exactly what you need. In this episode: Choosing how we want to feel this winterLetting go of resolutions and relentless productivityEmbracing seasonal rhythms as resistanceHow soup, slow mornings, and intentional pauses are acts of quiet rebellionResources Mentioned: Subscribe to the Quiet Rebellion newsletter on Substack Listen to Hand Me Down Recipes for more on seasonal soup

    You Don’t Need Another Mug: Saying No to the Seasonal Stuff Frenzy

    In this episode, I’m joined by Allyson from Life at Blackbird Hill for a down-to-earth conversation about seasonal consumerism and why we don’t actually need a new mug (or water bottle, or throw pillow) for every season. We dig into the pressure to keep up with trends, the role social media plays in shaping our wants, and how disconnecting from nature might be driving us to fill our homes with more than we need. We also talk about contentment, guilt, and the quiet power of saying “no” to the frenzy. This episode isn’t about perfection or shame—it’s about choosing intention, practicing seasonal living, and finding joy in what we already have. In this episode, we cover: Why “seasonal” shopping has gone overboardThe emotional pull of curated homes on social mediaHow to recognize (and resist) marketing pressureCreating seasonal rituals that don’t involve buyingSmall steps to shift your mindset toward enoughAllyson’s story of practicing contentment with her familyThe quiet joy of opting outIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by stuff - or unsure how to start living more simply - this conversation offers encouragement, practical tips, and permission to do things differently.

    You Can’t Force Simplicity (But You Can Welcome It In)

    Can we really force simplicity, or does it need to be gently invited in? In this episode of The Quiet Rebellion, Kathie reflects on a favorite Thomas Moore quote and explores what it means to stop “stuffing the world with things” and instead embrace the richness already present in our lives. Kathie shares: Why simplicity isn’t deprivationFive practices to invite in simplicity without a checklistHow noticing and connection lead to more meaningful daysThis isn’t about decluttering your whole house or reaching some perfect version of simple living. It’s about softening, slowing, and savoring what’s already here. For full show notes and more resources: https://homespunseasonalliving.com/the-quiet-rebellion-episode-18/

    The Comfort of Small Things

    As we slowly settle into October, this episode invites you to take a breath and notice the quiet, comforting things in your life—the ones that don’t go viral, cost money, or demand your productivity. In a world that tells us to go bigger, do more, and stay busy, what if true comfort is found in the small, sacred moments? A favorite robe. Candlelight at dinner. The smell of something baking. These aren’t luxuries—they’re human needs. In this gentle conversation, we explore: Why small comforts matter more than we give them credit forSimple ways to find ease in everyday lifeHow cozy moments can be a radical form of self-careWays to invite more comfort without buying a thingIdeas for sharing comfort with others in small, meaningful waysWhether you’re folding laundry, driving home, or curled up with a cup of tea, may this episode remind you that you don’t have to earn rest or comfort—you deserve it because you’re human.

    Seasonal Living in a Modern World

    In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to live in rhythm with the earth—even when the modern world keeps pushing for more, faster, now. Seasonal living isn’t about perfection or opting out of daily life; it’s about tuning in to nature’s cues, honoring your own cycles, and letting go of the pressure to bloom year-round.  I’m sharing simple, doable ways to begin: from noticing what’s outside your window to creating small seasonal rituals that bring comfort and connection. Let this be your gentle reminder that you don’t have to live at full speed to live a full life.  Get links, resources, & more: https://homespunseasonalliving.com/the-quiet-rebellion-episode-15/
