  • S2, E6: Backyard Climate Activist, 7 Ways to Heal the Planet from Home (a mini-episode)
    May 11 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week’s episode is a little different. After missing our first Thursday release in two full seasons (life happens!), Devon hops on solo for a brief in-between episode to share a personal update and an exciting glimpse into her forthcoming book, Backyard Climate Activist: Healing the Planet from Home.

    Drawing from a recent Substack essay, Devon explores the heart behind the Backyard Climate Activist framework and shares the seven “R’s” that shape the book’s philosophy:

    • Rewild
    • Reconnect
    • Refuse
    • Reduce
    • Reuse
    • Recycle
    • Rot

    In a world where the climate crisis can feel overwhelming and impossible to solve alone, this episode is a reminder that meaningful change often begins much closer to home than we think.

    We’ll be back next week with a full episode and guest interview, but in the meantime, we hope this conversation leaves you feeling inspired, grounded, and hopeful.

  • When Western Medicine Isn’t Enough: Blending Cannabis, Aromatherapy, and Western Medicine with Michele Finn of Jubilee of Wellness
    Apr 23 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when modern medicine isn’t enough, and you’re willing to explore everything to help someone you love?

    In this episode of Homestead-ish, we sit down with Jubilee of Wellness founder Michele Finn—aromatherapist, CBD wellness guide, caregiver, and now Devon’s neighbor at The District—to talk about what it really looks like to blend holistic healing with Western healthcare.

    Michele shares the deeply personal story of caring for her mother through an 11-year battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and how that journey led her into the world of aromatherapy and cannabis-based wellness.

    Together, we explore how essential oils, CBD, THC, and CBG can support the body, the importance of proper education and safety, and why healing doesn’t have to be an either/or conversation.

    One of the most powerful moments in this episode is Michele’s story of a critical turning point in her mother’s illness when traditional treatments had reached their limits, and cannabis helped restore comfort, function, and dignity in a moment that felt nearly hopeless.

    This conversation is a reminder that healing isn’t always linear and sometimes the most meaningful care comes from combining tools, not choosing sides.

  • S2, E4: We Built This Life…But Can We Ever Leave It? Homestead updates, kombucha brewing, chickens & the reality of finding a farm sitter
    Apr 9 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    There’s a version of homesteading we all dream about...slow mornings, fresh food, a life rooted in intention.

    And then there’s the part no one really talks about: What happens when you need to leave?

    In this catch-up episode, we’re sharing what life looks like on our homesteads right now, from scaling up kombucha production and experimenting with no-dig potatoes, to navigating loss in the flock and the very real challenge of finding someone to care for your animals when you’re away.

    It’s part life update, part honest conversation, and part figuring-it-out-as-we-go.

    🐓 In This Episode:

    • Scaling small-batch kombucha into larger production
    • No-dig / no-till potato planting with straw
    • Losing a beloved chicken and caring for a sick flock
    • The realities of farm sitting and leaving your homestead
    • Upcoming guests + events
