  • EP319: Getting to the Root of What Holds You Back
    2026/11/05
    I've spent a good part of this year battling Jimson weed in my chicken run. It's a toxic plant, and no matter how many times I dug it up, it seemed to come right back. I think I've removed it at least eight times this year. Recently, I asked a master gardener what I could do to keep it from returning next spring. He explained that even though Jimson weed is an annual, it can leave behind seeds that grow the following year. That got me thinking about the things in our own lives that we believe we've dealt with, only to have them show up again when we least expect them. For me, overcommitting is one of those things. I've said yes to all kinds of opportunities over the years, and for the most part, I'm glad I did. But I'm at a point where I'd really like to spend more time at home and see what opportunities I might find closer to where I live. It's hard to do that when I'm always traveling or have something else on my calendar. I've started being more careful about what I agree to. Sometimes I'll tell someone I need a few days to think about it. Other times, I'll just say no and leave myself the option of changing my mind later. I'm curious to see what happens if I stick with this for the next year or two. On today's Wise Walk, we're talking about how some of our old habits and beliefs can stick around, even when we think we've moved past them. I've been thinking about this quite a bit as I try to get my overcommitting under control. There are also those mistakes we find ourselves making more than once, especially when life gets stressful. I'd like to get better at recognizing and dealing with concerns before they become a problem again. After all, I'd much rather spend next year trying something new than dealing with the same old weeds. What is an issue or limiting belief rooted in you that you don't want to see regrow next year?What goals are you working toward, and how can you eliminate old habits or distractions that might keep you from achieving them?What limiting beliefs or relationships are you holding on to that no longer serve you, and how can you get to the root of why you're holding on to them?How can you prevent old habits, beliefs, or patterns from resurfacing when life becomes stressful?When you make a mistake, how can you recognize whether it's a new issue or an old pattern resurfacing?If it's an old mistake, how can you dig deeper to understand its roots and prevent yourself from repeating it?If it's a new mistake, how can you learn from the experience and use those lessons to nourish other areas of your life?How can you become the master gardener of your own life, clearing out what no longer serves you and making room for new growth? We can learn from our past mistakes, clear out old patterns, and make room for new growth. I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode, so please feel free to reach out and share. I look forward to next week's Wise Walk, where we'll have another conversation and self-reflection questions. Be sure to tune in and prioritize fun as you read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [04:07] The entire life cycle of an annual happens in one season. Perennials live two or more years. The root survives and re-sprouts in the spring. [05:25] Annuals come back when they drop seeds before they die. In life we have to manage annuals and perennials that drop seeds before they die. We want growth and have areas in our lives to constantly work on.[06:07] This is a great time to weed out the toxic growth in our lives.[07:01] I want to save space to get grounded and not overcommit. I've been working on thinking before I say yes.[09:02] I'm making people aware of my priorities in this season of my life.[11:52] Sometimes we think we've gotten to the root of a limiting belief, but then it crops back up, because it was just dormant. [12:39] We can have deep beliefs that we don't notice when life is going great.[14:11] We can take all of these lessons and use them for good.[17:04] I've decided to treat the Jimson weed with Dawn soap, vinegar, and water. I want to manage any dropped seeds before the first frost.

  • EP318: Making 2027 a Year of Learning and Giving
    2026/10/29
    As the year starts winding down, I've been thinking about what I'd like to learn in 2027. A recent gathering of my local lady homesteaders gave me a new way to approach this. We meet each month to share skills, from saving seeds to making things from scratch. But at our last meeting, instead of having someone teach a particular topic, we each shared something that we'd like to learn and something we could teach. I hosted the gathering, and I loved hearing how everyone's interests and experiences fit together. I'm especially interested in freeze drying. I've learned to can. I've done some dehydrating, and with my garden plans for next year, I'd like to get better at preserving what I grow. As it turns out, one of the women in our group already knows all about freeze drying and offered to teach us. I've had a similar experience with pickleball. Taking a class has helped me learn the rules and correct some bad habits I didn't even realize I was developing. When we talked about what we could teach, I offered to share some of the self-care practices that I've learned over the years. On today's Wise Walk, we're exploring how we can make learning and sharing part of our goals for 2027. We'll talk about finding people who can help us develop new skills, whether that's through a class, a community group, a book, or someone we already know. We'll also look at the things we're good at and how we might pass along some of that knowledge to others. I think there's something really nice about approaching the new year this way. Especially when we realize that we don't have to figure everything out on our own. There's a lot we can learn from each other, and I'm excited to see where that takes us. As you think about your goals for 2027, what area of your life would you like to grow in?What is something new you'd like to learn?How could you acquire that skill, knowledge, experience, or awareness?What is something you feel confident enough to teach others?What skills, knowledge, or processes do people regularly ask you to help them with?How could you be more proactive about sharing what you know?How could you be more intentional about learning something new?What areas of learning and teaching come to mind for you?Are there groups you could join to help you learn something new?What communities have knowledge, skills, or experience that you could benefit from?Is there someone you could hire to help you develop a new skill?Would investing in an instructor help you develop good habits and quickly learn from mistakes?What specific skill or area of knowledge would you like to focus on in the coming year?What communities could support you in reaching your learning goals?Who could help you learn something in a more efficient and effective way?Is there something you'd like to learn that relates to your career?Could you shadow someone or ask for guidance in an area where you'd like to improve?Is there something you'd like to learn that relates to your family?Is there a family recipe you'd like to learn, and who could help you master it?Are there family stories you'd like to learn and preserve for future generations?What skills, abilities, passions, or interests do you feel knowledgeable enough to share?What do other people consistently ask you for help with?What are you the go-to person for?How could you share your experience with others so they don't have to learn everything the hard way?How could you help someone develop good habits from the beginning?What could you teach a beginner in an hour that would help them get started?How could you be more vocal about the knowledge and expertise you have to offer?Where could you look for opportunities to share your skills with people who would appreciate them?How could you reach out to others and find people who are interested in learning from you?How can you make room in 2027 for both learning new skills and sharing what you already know? I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. So please feel free to reach out and share. I look forward to next week's Wise Walk. We're going to have another conversation and self-reflection questions. Be sure to tune in. Until then, please be sure to prioritize fun as you read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [04:49] When it comes to something I want to learn and something that I want to teach. I'm all about learning food preservation and freeze drying. [07:04] I love that I'm being offered these opportunities to learn. [08:43] When it comes to learning at this time, it is so much easier to research. [10:51] I'm learning so much about pickleball in a community class, plus the group of people are at my skill level. [12:53] You can design your goals for 2027 as a personal challenge. [13:46] I'm also taking an online class about teaching different meditation styles.[15:36] Set a timebound deadline for your goals.[16:04] I would be happy to teach self-care techniques that can nurture the ...

  • EP317: Fall Release, Winter Rest: Lessons from Nature
    2026/10/22
    I love the change of seasons, especially when fall starts giving us those first chilly mornings. After months of being outside, making plans, and staying busy, I'm usually ready to slow things down. I notice it when I take the dogs out and can't wait to get back inside where it's warm. Spring and summer have always been my more active seasons, and I enjoy everything that comes with them. But I don't necessarily want to keep that same pace all year. When I look around at what's happening in nature, I see plenty of examples of why it's okay to do things differently as the seasons change. This fall, I've decided that I'm not signing up for anything new. I started taking clogging lessons over the summer, and I'm enjoying those, so I'll keep going. But when a beekeeping course caught my attention, I had to remind myself that I don't need to explore every interest right now. I've also decided to take a break from having guests for a little while. I've had some wonderful visitors over the spring and summer, but I don't need to keep filling up my calendar. That's not always easy for me because I love learning new things and having new experiences. But I'm realizing there's a lot to enjoy about what I'm already doing, and I don't want to be so busy that I miss that. On today's Wise Walk, we're taking some lessons from nature as we move through fall and get ready for winter. I've been thinking about trees and how they pull nutrients back into their trunks before dropping their leaves. I love the idea that we can do something similar with the experiences we've had. We can hold on to what was good about them without continuing to give them so much of our time and energy. And when winter comes, maybe we can learn something from bears that hibernate or seeds that need a cold season before they sprout. Even bees have their own way of getting through winter by gathering together. So I'm curious, what are you ready to release this fall? And when you think about resting this winter, what would that actually look like for you? Maybe it's spending more time alone, or maybe it's being with the people who make you feel good. I know I'm looking forward to having a little less on my calendar and seeing how that feels. How do you show up in each of the four seasons, and what lessons do you take from nature?What do you tend to do or avoid during spring, summer, fall, and winter?As we move through fall and prepare for winter, what lessons from nature can you apply to your own life?Where in your life can you follow the example of a tree by holding on to what nourishes you while letting go of what no longer serves you?Which activities, experiences, or relationships are you ready to release while holding on to the goodness you've gained from them?What are you ready to release this fall to prepare for winter?What type of rest do you need during the winter season?How can you embrace the stillness and slower pace of winter to restore and replenish your energy?Where in your life do you need a period of rest, much like a seed, before you're ready to emerge and bloom again?How is your need for rest similar to soil needing time to recover and replenish its nutrients?What can you learn from the way soil naturally restores itself, and how can you apply those lessons to your own life? I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode, and learn about your examples of what you're doing during this fall and this winter. I'm super excited for all of us, and I look forward to continuing our Wise Walks each and every week. Be sure to tune in to next Thursday for another episode, and be sure to prioritize fun as you read the signs, direct your path and get your Stride On. In this episode: [02:16] Spring and summer are my most active seasons. We see this in nature too. We get cues from nature.[03:29] Fall is about releasing and slowing down, and preparing for the winter.[04:29] The changing season is a great reminder to go inward for the fall and release whatever isn't serving us. [05:16] The tree is a great example of what we should do for the fall. Trees take nutrients inward before they release their leaves. [07:56] I'm not signing up for anything new right now. I'm just going to embrace what is already in my routine.[09:08] I'm also releasing any new guests for a while. I'm taking an example from bears and hibernating for awhile. [11:02] I've learned that in nature, many seeds need a cold period before they can sprout.[13:27] Soil also needs a period of rest. We also need that period of rest.[15:12] We all recharge and recover differently. Just like the bees rally around the queen to survive the winter. Memorable Quotes: "Rest is not about a break from growth. We're not giving up on growing. We too need rest so we can emerge and bloom again." - Mary Tess "We can appreciate all the goodness we've gained from our experiences and hold on to it as we slow down and prepare to rest. " - Mary Tess "We don't have to get drawn into ...
