Episode 4 of Modern Homestead is all about the stuff of life… WATER! 💧 Here’s the thing… Even though our Tennessee property get’s a decent amount of rain each year, AND we have a well that spits out 20-30 gallons a minute, we still have water issues on the property. All explained in this episode. We also have 5 dried up ponds… and for me to be happy in a landlocked state, this San Diego girl needs to be near water. 👸🏻 So naturally, I’ve made it Evan’s job to come up with a solution so I don’t leave him there alone, dry & humorless. How do we plan to fix our ponds and never have to worry about water being an issue again? We found a few solutions that bring the “modern” into Modern Homestead. Watch the latest episode in my bio link to see how we fix these problems and have guaranteed water, indefinitely, on our off grid oasis. 🏚️🎥 #GTFOutside #EarnYourFreedom #ModernHomestead #insta

This has got to be the ultimate way to cold plunge... I’ve got mountains, I’ve got the bluest lake you’ve ever seen, and I’ve got a little friend who can’t get enough of me 🦋⛰️ What more could I ask for? 😅 Granted... not everything that’s worth doing (or that’s good for you) will always be this serene. Trust me, there’s just as many cold showers or dips in the pool that aren’t nearly as glamorous or picturesque. The point is, do both! The cold showers at home ensure you’re ready to maximize the cold exposure while you travel... so start wherever you are, and know that it’ll pay off later 🤝 #GTFOutside and be the type of person who *always* jumps in, no matter what. #EarnYourFreedom #ColdExposure #AvalancheLake #yourpage

Almost didn’t make that last one 😅 #mobility #mobilitytraining #mobilitychallenge

Let’s CHANGE it up! 😍 I’ve come to learn that one of my top 6 human needs is VARIETY. What does that mean? Basically, I don’t like when things start to feel stale. In knowing this, It’s crucial for me to cycle through different habits/patterns. Remember, you’re NOT stuck doing what you’re doing now, forever. ✅ Giving myself the permission to switch gears whenever I feel burnout creeping up has been such a game changer for my mental health and overall well-being. So, I took iron to the water and got in an underwater workout 🌊 🏋️ I call exercise #2 “Iron balls,” fitting? 😆 #Fitness #pool #Gtfoutside #xybca

Did I mention we're getting llamas?! 😂 I'll be honest, I was a little too excited to learn that llamas make for the perfect homestead guardians 👏 #homestead #farm #llama

I know it’s a greenhouse, but… it’s MY greenhouse, so I can put whatever I want in it, right? 😂 Lol, but honestly, I’m beyond excited to see this project come to life. It’s something I’ve had on my to-do list for a super long time, and now that we’re homestead living, I figured why the hell not?! One thing’s for sure… You’ve NEVER seen a greenhouse like this before 😂 And as you can see, I’m simply the visionary… it’s @Evan DeMarco with the actual talent 😆 Catch our brainstorms and design antics on Episode 5 of @Modern Homestead 🏡 Watch on Carbon TV, Roku or Amazon now! https://www.carbontv.com/shows/modern-homestead/ #greenhouse #homesteadliving #ModernHomestead

What do a cover model and a scientist know about homesteading? You guessed it… absolutely nothing 😂 #modernhomestead #Outdoors #gmc

Pain is temporary, right? 😆 Guess I need to go deeper and channel my inner Pocahontas… You never saw her complain! 🤫 Anyone else experienced this before? If you have, rate your pain on a scale from 1-10… I need to know if I’m overreacting or not 😂 #Archery #BowHunting #Warrior #progress #disney100

Tan, swim, tan again - that’s how I switch it up 😂 But seriously... Switching it up is so important for growth. You’ll never reach your potential if you stay in the same place… You gotta rock the boat. Leave your comfort zone. Take the plunge! #reddit #disney #gtfoutside

Only go up if you know how to come back down 😅 #Fitness #ropeclimb #paintthetownred #fail #fails #fyp

Putting in the work, so I can savor that sweet taste of play 💪 Everything is better on the other side of earned. In the midst of deadlines, long hours, and grinding towards our goals, it's easy to forget that all this hard work is carving out time for the sweetest moments of play. #xbyzca #manifesting #halloweencostume

Episode 8 is live! 🏡 We promised honesty, and here’s the honest truth… 🤷‍♀️ Our lives were already pretty darn full when we decided to purchase this land, and build our own homestead. Over the last couple of months, we’ve had many moments like this, where we sit down and go, “Damn, this is actually A LOT.” But you know what? As difficult as it is, running multiple businesses and pursuing long-term self-sufficiency at once, we wouldn’t have it any other way. This is where we thrive — in growth. There’s no other way forward but to trust the process, and to take one day at a time! Stay up to date with the big and the small wins over on @Modern Homestead What are YOU doing to chase growth lately? 🙏 #ModernHomestead #Nature #SelfSufficiency
