Remember back in the days when big family get-togethers were a thing? Let’s talk about how (or if) we can go back to making those our normal. Spoiler alert: I don’t think the answer is as simple as we pretend it might be.

We all have things we like to splurge on, regardless of what lifestyle we live. Let's get honest about money and whose business it is how you spend yours.

Egg prices. Shortages. Hiring issues. Is your focus on the random, angry reasons behind the situation... or the fact the thing is happening?

Some people make New Year's Resolutions. Some make goals. Some choose a Word of the Year. For 2023... I've got a big question.

Today's episode offers a little rant about the holidays, but also asks an important question (and gives a couple solutions) to help us with this sometimes frustrating and overwhelming time of year.

After being home for twenty years, I jumped the track six months ago and took a job outside the home. Six months later, I'm here to tell you about why it was a bit of a personal (but necessary) train wreck. This episode gets honest and puts my opinions, beliefs, and preferences about life right out there. No offense intended, but also... sorry, not sorry. ;)

It's super exciting (and stressful!) to imagine we are prepping for a world disaster or an encounter with the zombies. But 99% of the time, the ways our preps help us are far less exciting than that. Let's talk about one such situation our family encountered this past week. Not worthy of a blockbuster film, but far more realistic across the board. — Amy Dingmann, 12-7-22 LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 222: Our ham brine recipe My (Rational) Approach to Start Prepping FIND MORE GOODIES FROM A FARMISH KIND OF LIFE: Monthly Snail Mail Newsletter: Subscribe here Books by me, Amy Dingmann: My books Social media: Discord, Telegram, Flote, MeWe, Facebook, Instagram,  Videos: YouTube, Odysee, TikTok, Rumble

Today's episode digs into the things we like and value... and how that can make life tricky for ourselves and others.

You're not Ma Ingalls... but you are SOMEONE. Do you know who that is and what you want from your homesteading life?

What do preparing for tough times and talking about beautiful frosty leaves have in common? Maybe nothing. But I'm here to tell you that you can definitely talk about both.

Life changes, and so do priorities. Today we talk about shifting priorities, resulting guilt, and how to deal with life as it evolves.

Some people will think you’re amazing and wonderful and all sorts of goodness. Other people will think you suck. Here's why you have no control over any of it.

We all look at things differently because of everything we’ve experienced up until now. Today’s episode is about how perspective – yours and everyone else’s – is completely subjective, and how things can get really tricky when we forget that.

After a three month break, I'm back to talk about perspective, priorities, and how other people see you.

Things have been "different" at home. Things have been "different" in the homesteading/self-reliance community. When things get bumpy, sometimes you have to get off the road.

Sometimes you find a toad while weeding the garden and it gives you all the clarity you need. Let's talk about shifting stages of life and the importance of having a story to tell.

If you've ever thought about being a homesteader but weren't sure if you really "fit" in the "homesteader club" because of where you live, where you work, or your life situation, this interview is for you!

A few back-of-the-bike thoughts from a recent trip—as well as some changes that are coming to not only A Farmish Kind of Life, but my life as well.

Let's take a big picture approach and look at a bunch of time management tips to help us organize our day, our life, and our homestead better so we can do the things that need to get done.

A good reminder to think about our purpose and intention as homesteaders, especially if you're someone who shares anything about your homesteading life on social media or as a content creator.
