Old Fashioned On Purpose

Old Fashioned On Purpose

Have you felt it? Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we?ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.

It's every homesteader's dream to quit their job and become completely self-sufficient selling eggs & soap from their homestead.

S12 E12: How to Feed Your Soil a Whole Food Diet

As hard as we try to avoid it, modern industrial thinking can easily creep into our homesteads. Take soil health for example. Have you ever walked through the garden store and wondered which of the isolated "ingredients" you should add to your garden to "fix it?" I have! But there's a better way. 

I'm joined by Aaron Elison of Redmond Agriculture in this episode. He helps us dismantle this reductionist mindset so we can take a "whole food" approach to caring for your garden. From Nature's Intelligence to a surprising way to remove toxins from your soil, this episode is full of nuggets!

S12 E8: The Un-Formula for a Sustainable Homestead

One of the most common questions I get is "how do I design the perfect homestead layout?" The bad news? There isn't a one-size-fits-all formula. The good news? Once you understand a handful of concepts, you'll have the tools to know what your unique site needs to thrive. 

In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Angela Ferraro-Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead for this enlightening and inspiring conversation into permaculture, homestead design, and crafting a homestead that works FOR you instead of AGAINST you.

S12 E7: A Year of No Garbage... (Really!)

What does trash have to do with homesteading? Well, everything. As we progress on our old-fashioned journeys, it quickly becomes apparent that everything is connected-- our food, our health, and our environments. And trash, specifically plastic, is a huge issue. However, once again, and old-fashioned mindset is the answer to this very modern problem. 

In this podcast episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by internationally published author and humorist Eve O. Schaub to discuss her new book, A Year of No Garbage. Not only does she make this topic entertaining, she makes it feel doable. You're going to enjoy this one.

S12 E6: Forging a Connection with Wild Waters with Conor Sullivan

We talk a lot about connecting to nature here on the podcast, but it's usually through the lens of agriculture, cultivating, and farming.

But that's just the beginning. Wildcrafting, hunting, and fishing connect us to the natural world in powerful way. I'm thrilled to be joined by author and angler, Conor Sullivan, in this podcast episode. We talk about the similarities between the ocean and the prairie, why fishing may just be your next old-fashioned adventure, how to start fishing as an adult (even if you've never done it before), and his best tried-and-true fish cooking tips.

S11 E16: The Rise of The Farmfluencer

I've been sharing homesteading online since 2010, but lately, the online homestead world has started to feel different....

If you spend much time surfing Instagram, you might think you need a historic white farmhouse, period-appropriate clothing, and a magazine-worthy kitchen to live this old-fashioned life. But is the rise of "farmfluencing" actually hurting the movement?

How can we celebrate the beautiful while also embracing the ugly? We're diving into this sticky topic on today's episode!

S11 E15: Building Old-Fashioned Community with Gary Chapman

It?s one of the most old-fashioned practices we can cultivate in our modern culture. And no, it?s not baking sourdough, or growing vegetables, or milking a cow? I?m talking about building community.

So why is it so hard? And how can we navigate relationships in our ultra-polarized world?

Dr. Gary Chapman, best-selling author of The 5 Love Languages, is joining us today to talk about building & mending community in a world that seems determined to keep us isolated.
