I'm so grateful to be back with you after stepping away from the podcast last fall. In this episode, I'm sharing honestly about why I needed to pause and what unfolded during that time.

Over the past several months, I was walking through my own physical limitations while my husband received an unexpected kidney cancer diagnosis. It was a season that forced us to slow down, reevaluate our pace of life, and take a hard look at how we were caring for our health.

In this episode, I talk about what this journey taught me about inflammation, stress, nutrition, and why true healing requires more than just changing what's on your plate. I also share how small, consistent changes can create real, lasting improvement, even in the middle of a full and busy life.

This episode marks the beginning of a new season of the podcast, with a renewed focus on stewardship, sustainable health, and building a life that supports both your homestead and your well-being. If you're in a hard season right now, I hope this conversation encourages you and reminds you that you're not alone.
