Intentional Living: Where to Start?
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
In this episode, we are talking about Intentional Living! Have you been curious about sustainable/intentional/regenerative lifestyles? So have we! We’re going to share our WHYs for even getting into this world in the first place, discuss our experiences (both positive AND negative), and wrap up with ‘our’ most valuable intentional living projects (which may be different from yours)!
If you found yourself trying to make sourdough bread over the pandemic or found yourself raising a flock of backyard chickens…this is for you. If you have tucked a little dream away in your heart for a slower pace of life, maybe a small homestead, to homeschool, or even just learn a new skill like learning how to cook from scratch… this episode is for you.
We tried to stay in our lane and keep the conversation to mostly our personal experiences, because the reality is, not all of you are going to have the same interests, or value for each and every way you could add more intention to your life.
So, when you listen to this, don’t hear this as a to-do list…but instead, as ideas that you could pick and choose from, to move in the direction of living slower, and with more intention.

Jen and Sammy
