Kelsey is back on the podcast for a fun heart-to-heart with Jill Winger of The Prairie Homestead, one of the foremost homesteading websites since 2010.
Jill is a powerhouse in the homesteading community, sharing her love of living off the land with all her readers and listeners. Her practical and authentic teaching style and storytelling have won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of homesteaders across social media and through the top-ranked Old Fashioned on Purpose podcast and the best-selling Prairie Homestead Cookbook.
In this episode, we have an honest chat all about:
Kids on the farm - the good, bad, and the ugly
Finding a sustainable balance between parenting and homesteading
Running a business (or multiple businesses!) with your spouse
How to focus on what you love about homestead instead of “doing it all”
Jill’s new book Old Fashioned On Purpose (now a Top New Release!)
Jill and her family also run Genuine Beef Company, which ships grass-finished beef nationwide, as well as the Chugwater Soda Fountain. She has been featured in Urban Farm, Farm & Ranch Living, COWGIRL magazine, Woman’s Day, HuffPost, the Wall Street Journal, Wyoming PBS, People, and Buzzfeed. She resides on the Wyoming prairie with her husband, three children, and more farm animals than she can count.
 

On this episode of PGP, we’re talking about Gear Hugger with founder Checo Diaz.
Like most people, Checo was relying on old-fashioned, toxic lubricants for his tune-ups and to keep his gear in prime condition. He realized there was a disconnect between his love for nature and how he and many other outdoor lovers were inadvertently introducing petroleum and toxic chemicals into the ecosystem through their gear.
Checo realized he could create a solution and set out to introduce a better, cleaner plant-powered way to keep his gear going longer while taking petroleum and harmful chemicals out of the equation. His family had been in the industrial lubricant business for 70 years, and he decided to make it his mission to expand his family’s legacy and create a more sustainable, eco-friendly future.
 

Motherhood is a very personal and powerful experience and yet many mothers find themselves receiving advice on how to parent differently or better.  We may get it from books, online or from a random stranger on the street--some of it is wanted, most of it is unwanted. One of the things that does warrant more conversation is the transition from being childless to all of a sudden being responsible for another person’s life and well being.  In this episode, Suzette talks with Annie Chensoff, a mama, partner, school garden educator, doula and herbalist.  One of Annie’s greatest passions in life is connecting with others in the shared joy and love for the natural world; she has done this through designing, building and teaching in gardens for people of all ages for the past 15 years. Annie is the founder and co-director of Partum Gardens, a weekly garden gathering that supports birthing bodies and their families through earth connection, education and community.

In part 2 of the 2023 PGP wellness series, we’re talking all about self care with Carrie Stone, licensed massage therapist.
Suzette and Carrie share easy self-care tips that we can do in our everyday lives.  This episode is about so much more than a spa date! You don’t want to miss what these two are talking about, including how self-care is often closer than you think.
