Finding Balance and Wellness in Simple Living
Life on the farm has taught me that peace often comes from the simplest things—fresh air, sunshine, and practices that nourish both body and soul. In a world that constantly pushes us toward busyness, I’ve found that intentional choices rooted in nature and holistic living bring the deepest sense of balance and well-being.
Sunshine, Grounding & Rest: Nature’s Best Reset
Spending time outside, feeling the sun on my face and my feet on the earth, is one of my favorite ways to ground myself and reduce stress. Did you know that grounding—standing barefoot on natural surfaces—can help reduce inflammation and improve sleep? The connection between our bodies and the earth is a powerful, free wellness tool we often overlook.
Incorporating grounding into our daily lives doesn’t stop at simply being outdoors. We even use a grounding sheet on our bed, which has noticeably improved sleep quality and reduced muscle tension. Pair that with a little sunshine for your daily dose of vitamin D, and you’ve got an effortless, natural way to support your health and energy levels.
Sourdough: Nourishment for the Soul (and Gut!)
Baking sourdough has become more than just a hobby for me—it’s a practice that brings joy, creativity, and real health benefits. The long fermentation process makes the bread easier to digest, supports gut health, and adds incredible flavor. Plus, there’s something deeply fulfilling about creating something nourishing from just flour, water, and salt.
For those who are mindful of their protein intake, sourdough is also a surprisingly good source! If you're looking for inspiration or recipes, I’ve compiled my favorite finds on my Sourdough for Life Pinterest board—feel free to check it out for ideas and tips!

Alongside farm life, I love incorporating a few trusted tools and supplements that help me feel my best. I only promote products I truly believe in, and these have made a significant impact on my well-being:

Keep It Simple, Keep It Nourishing
Holistic living doesn’t mean striving for perfection—it’s about slowing down, paying attention, and finding practices that feel good for your body and soul. Whether it’s soaking up the morning sun, grounding yourself in nature, or baking a fresh loaf of sourdough, these small, mindful choices add up to a life of peace, balance, and true nourishment.
