Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

Today, I hopped over on Mewe to ask what folks would like to hear about and got a laundry list of ideas. Mr. Eash posited one that I thought would be timely today: changes you might want to make to be ready to not leave for 4 weeks in light of our extension through April 30 on stay at home orders. He was asking from the perspective of a homestead, but I will take a bigger lifestyle view of this.

Today at your request, I talk through practical approach to building side hustle income into your life. This is meant to help you get the right frame of mind as you build revenue streams, rather than send you off to try 14,000 new hustles. Because right now, there are opportunities, if just working at Krogers for a month or two, and no need to feel totally hopeless about income if you have lost your job.

Today, I take questions about making the perfect pot of coffee, growing lettuce, inverters and read what y'all have built in your lives that is making you more stable through this halting of our economy. I hope this gives you a positive perspective as the weekend comes and we have another couple of days to focus on building our lives the way we want them to be.

Today, we talk through three ways to kickstart your fresh vegetable pipeline if you are running into grocery store shortages. I have been hearing varied reports of fresh vegetable shortages, or conversely way too many fresh vegetables and thought now would be a good time to talk through some of the faster ways to get something fresh back into your diet in as few as 3-4 days.

Today we walk through some things to consider as you find or reevaluate your purpose. Because now is a great time to look to the future and find opportunities to get you there.

Today, I get the honor of talking to a fella who I have admired for years, who cares about freedom and who understands that food security throughout the country would be vastly improved if we could get the government regulators out of our business and let folks sell food to one another, from the bottom up rather than further a centralized food system that puts us all at risk when deliveries no longer come for whatever reason.

Today we talk about five ideas for storing your pantry items in a way that is easy to access, or at least easy to manage.

This age we live in is so prosperous. We have everything we need if you think about it. And yet, we still complain. So today, I wanted to talk through this golden age we live in and all the opportunities that we have because of it.

Today is a thought of the walk on fear and freedom. We are seeing so many people call for curtailing the freedoms of people all over the country and expansion of the very government systems that have made this situation worse and that just ain't right.

Today is a how-to day and someone asked me about ways that fermenting from home can be integrated into your lifestyle in a time when store trips are spare. So I decided to share 4 home fermentation projects that are perfect for this moment in time.

Today, we do a check in on Grow, a quarter 1 update. And more importantly how we can all grow through this year, come what may. 

Today is Friday and we have a great interview with Amy Dingmann of A Farmish Kind of Life certain to get you off your diff and ready to go build something awesome.

Today, we continue the pantry management series with a discussion about how to keep your pantry stocked once you get things organized in there and have built up a store of supplies. Remember, this is all founded in store what you use, use what you store to tag off of Jack Spirko’s recommendations. And restocking can be a real bugaboo if not everyone in the house is helping with it. I will share with you today how I manage this without laboriously doing inventories and spreadsheets.

Today we will explore five ways to overcome high stress by taking care of yourself. There really is no reason to spiral into that place of fear that makes people into beasts, is there? And when you let stress take over, things just do not work right. 

Today is #selfishsunday and with all the tension surrounding the coronavirus, I asked Tactical Redneck to reach out to his father to get a better perspective on the scale of what he is seeing in this illness versus the media-fueled, absolute mind-losing panic that we are seeing. He agreed to send an email with his thoughts, which I heave read in this podcast. If after listening, you have more questions, send them to me via email - you know my email or use the contact form here.
