I’m Brittany—crunchy mom, city homesteader, and your go-to for making slow living possible in real life. I tried the all-at-once approach to homesteading… and crashed hard into burnout. Turns out, trying to master everything at once just wastes time, money, and a whole lot of mental energy.\n\nBut here’s the good news: homesteading doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You can do this in small steps that make a big impact.\n\nIf you’re ready to create a from-scratch lifestyle with more rhythm and less chaos—grab that sourdough starter from the back of the fridge... it’s time to rise.\n\nhttps://thehomesteadchallenge.com","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/17617351/podcast_covers_9__d7kstw.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/17617351/podcast_covers_9__d7kstw_1200x628.jpg?s=e7e6d5401c0252c694664f227942c7f6&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://thehomesteadchallengepodcast.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/thehomesteadchallengepodcast/feed.xml","theme":"playlist2","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-wfq4v-10cd1c7","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":126,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Brittany Gibson - Beginner Homesteader","engagementStatsBaseUrl":"https://d1.podbean.com/webplayer_engagement?u=6823c502364878389a0ba1dd","shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-wfq4v-10cd1c7-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-homestead-challenge-podcast-|-suburban-homesteading-food-from-scratch-sustainable-living/id1723637897","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fthehomesteadchallengepodcast.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog17617351%26podcastIdTag%3Dwfq4v&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fthehomesteadchallengepodcast.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7uDZ90u1D7jK1MqR79n1yM","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a1b2b5e6-4219-4bbc-a5d2-777cf02e307f","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/Health--Wellness-Podcasts/The-Homestead-Challenge-p3920025/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/135829498","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3538287","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://lnns.co/Dw27GF1zvpy","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-homestead-challenge-podcas-5560641","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/86174","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#9417FF"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player2"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
