61 | Trying to Do It All in Your Home and Homestead? What I’m Choosing to Skip This Season

About this episode

Amanda Carlin discusses the importance of choosing what to skip in homesteading to find peace and clarity.

Have you ever felt that quiet guilt creeping in… because you’re not doing all the things you thought you would on your homestead? I’ve been feeling that too lately. In this season, I’ve found myself letting things slip — a big garden, baking bread, even certain projects I thought I “should” be doing. And for a while, it felt like I was failing at this life I care so much about. But what I’ve been learning is choosing to say no is an option. In this episode, I’m walking you through what I’m not doing on the homestead right now — and why those choices are actually bringing more peace, clarity, and sustainability into our home. We’re talking about the difference between letting things fall apart… and intentionally letting them go. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you’re not measuring up, I hope this episode feels like a deep breath for your soul. You don’t have to do everything to be doing this right. Come listen in, and let’s walk this out together. --CONNECT WITH ME -- Join the Community – Come be part of the Simply Living Homestead family!
