You can’t build self-trust by waiting for a perfect season of life. You build it while the kids need you, the to-do list never ends, and you’re still figuring out who you are becoming.

We sit down with Jana, a former tech and marketing professional who made a major pivot into full-time homeschooling three kids while navigating autoimmune health challenges and the daily reality of caregiving. Jana shares how Rudolf Steiner and Waldorf-style inner work shaped her mindfulness, body awareness, and intentional living, plus what it looks like to “choose your life” even when you’re tired, overstimulated, or stretched thin. We also get real about women’s self-worth, healthy boundaries, and why setting a higher standard often changes how partners, kids, and friends show up.

Then we go straight to the ache so many women feel: the missing village. Retreats and women’s circles can spark sisterhood fast, but coming home to isolation is the gap Jana wants to close with her dream of “the land,” a community-minded space rooted in support, homeschooling help, homesteading skills, and shared responsibility. We talk practical relationship communication, self-care as five-minute moments you practice all day, and the boldest leadership move of all: asking for help so the village can exist.
