Homesteading and Holistic Living for Special Needs Families **TOP 2% of Podcasts in the World** Do you want to switch to more natural products in your home, but every time you try to, you end up feeling overwhelmed by all the options and information out there, so you just give up? Wanting to have a garden to grow food for your family, but you don’t have the time to research how to get started? Does it feel like your dreams of homesteading and holistic living will never happen because of the extra cost it would take? Feel like if you can’t do this whole natural living thing perfectly, there’s no point at all in even trying? Welcome, friend! This podcast is going to help you learn how to work towards your dream for homesteading, gardening, and holistic living in small, simple steps that WON’T overwhelm you. Hi, I’m Ashley. I’m a wife, Jesus follower, and Mom to some amazing kids. As I began having children, we quickly realized that several of our kids had some special needs. This sent me on a journey of nonstop research and countless hours of trying to figure out ways that I could make changes to our lifestyle to help my children thrive, despite the challenges. I was so stressed out, feeling like I needed to change everything at one time. I was keeping up with therapies, dietary changes, communication challenges, while also trying to implement this holistic lifestyle, and I was BURNT OUT. I finally realized that this all-or-nothing mentality was keeping me paralyzed from actually making real, lasting, progress on my goal for helping my kids. I had to decide to start making one small change at a time, then build from there. It was a process of learning to let go and rest in Jesus, to learn that even if I couldn’t get rid of all of the toxins in our home, or only give my family organic food, Jesus had me on this journey to better health for my family and I had to do it in a way that was sustainable as a busy Mom caring for my neurodiverse kids. And you know what? Because I was willing to slow down and take small intentional steps towards changing our food, growing a garden, switching to natural products, and learning how to prepare holistic remedies for my family, it meant that over the years this has just become a way of life for my family. Without stress, or overwhelm, or constantly feeling like I wasn’t doing enough. I’ve learned to walk this holistic journey in a way that works for me AND my family. If you’re ready to hear from another Mama who understands the extra challenges we face every day while parenting our kids with special needs, who can come alongside you on this journey, showing you how to take simple steps towards better health for your family, then this is the podcast for you!

Hey Mamas,
As we've been doing this cook from home series, we have talked a LOT about having a kitchen pantry. If you aren't sure where to start as far what to put in your pantry, join me today for a sneak peek inside my winter pantry. I hope this gives you some ideas for what you want to keep in your food supply this winter!

Hey Mamas,
We are getting close to cold and flu season. Are you feeling prepared? I always love to plan ahead to make sure we are ready to go before sickness hits because there is nothing worse than getting sick and NOT having what you need.If you're looking to switch to more holistic remedies, planning ahead and knowing how you want to use the products you have can go a long way in helping to stay consistent with the goal of switching to natural remedies. I know how stressful it can be to have a household of sick people and if you don't have a game plan prior to getting sick, chances are higher that you will resort to conventional remedies.Today I'm going to share with you 8 products or ingredient that I have in my home for this year's cold and flu season.
Let's do this!

Hey Mama,
Do you wish you could be more productive with your day? I know how stressful it can be to feel like your to-do list is constantly growing and somehow you're never making consistent progress on it.
The feelings of overwhelm and defeat that it can bring can be so daunting. I want to share with you one of my favorite tips for prioritizing what needs done each day and how I make consistent (and reasonable) progress on my to-do list, without having to push myself to the point of burnout!
