    I absolutely love this podcast! It is very grounding knowing that being an entrepreneur stay at home mama that we are not alone! They have great guests on here that a very similar as far as being homesteaders and what quality of life we are providing for our home environment. I listen to them when I work out, go in town runs, or even cleaning the house! I can’t believe it took me this long to find them on a podcast. I have followed each of them in social media, but never put two and two together! Thank you for such a great podcast gals! -Missy

    So Much Humble Wisdom Shared
    Listening to these two ladies every week feels just like a friend group gathering, when in reality I’m on my commute to work! Their passions are my passions and provide so much information to those in the western lifestyle and those entering the western lifestyle!! I’ll definitely keep on recommending this podcast to all my momma friends! 💛
  • Natalie@JNK
    Such a relaxing, enjoyable podcast!
    I just listened to the latest podcast on antiquing (while sitting at a team roping😂), loved it so much!! We look for so much of the same goodies! We’re in TN, so it’s a little harder to find the good western stuff, but when I do, I grab it up as fast as I can! Always a must to find a good thrift /antique shop on trips! A podcast I always look forward to listening to!

    Simple and beautiful podcast
    This podcast is so encouraging to those of us trying to pursue a more simple lifestyle. These gals make me want to jump into the conversation…right after I grab my tomatoes out of the canner and collect my eggs. 😉 Thanks Talia and Kenzie for the solidarity and sisterhood in this lifestyle so many of us are trying to bring back! -Amanda @The Harts Homestead
  • Kenzie Lou

    Multifaceted Multitasking Mamas
    I love hearing these two women come together and share all the different parts of life they’re juggling as well as insight on the lessons they’ve learned in the process. It’s so nice to listen to other women who are Multifaceted multitasking mamas with a heart for Jesus.
