Welcome back to the Phoenix Rising podcast. I'm thrilled to reconnect with you all after an unintended hiatus. Life on the homestead has been a whirlwind since my move in February, filled with exciting projects and unexpected adventures.

One silver lining of this busy period has been the chance to unplug and immerse myself in nature. While I've been less active on social media, I'm eager to announce that guest episodes will resume next week, covering topics like midlife crises and menopause.

On the homestead front, things have been thriving. From managing my farm stand to keeping up with orders for my popular bison beauty and beef babe products, there's never a dull moment. Plus, I'm thrilled to share that we're preparing to welcome Airbnb guests with the addition of a cozy bell tent in the forest.

For locals on the Sunshine Coast, I will be hosting a variety of in-person events, including Christ-centered meditations, stretch classes, and a monthly Wise Women's Council circle. These gatherings will be incredibly rewarding as we navigate the ups and downs of midlife together.

One aspect of homestead life that has taken me by surprise is my newfound DIY skills. From mastering wood splitters to navigating miter saws, I've been tackling projects like hive stands and compost bins—albeit not without a few hiccups, like accidentally using the drill in reverse for a month.

My recent interactions with my beloved bees have been a bit prickly. Despite some stings during hive inspections, I remain fascinated by these incredible creatures and their vital role in our ecosystem.

My homestead caught the eye of a TV show scout, leading to an exciting opportunity for my home to be in the show. Life here on the coast is full of surprises, and I'm grateful for every adventure, whether it's honing my beekeeping skills or rubbing shoulders with film crews.

Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I can't wait to share more tales from the wild side with you soon. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes and more homestead adventures.
