Today’s episode is a bit of a heart-to-heart (literally and figuratively). After a couple weeks of unexpected health stuff, I found myself thinking a lot about the promises we often hear in the homesteading and simple living world. Namely, the insinuation that if you just live “right,” you’ll never get sick.

But in real life? It’s not that simple.

In this episode, we dive into:

The seductive promise of clean, simple living, and where it gets toxic and dangerous
How guilt creeps in when you “do everything right” but your body still glitches
The difference between supporting your health and controlling it
Why we need more honesty (and less shame) in the wellness world
And how, deep down, this whole conversation comes back to one ugly word: pride
