Homesteading Journey: Ditching Conventional Systems

Try my all-natural skincare, Arvoti.Not believing in conventional systems led me to homesteading.I’ve been thinking about what it means to live a life that isn’t fragile, and why so many of us feel pulled toward self-sufficiency right now. This is me slowing things down and reintroducing myself in a way that actually reflects where I’m at, because this space has grown and I’ve grown with it.I’ve spent nearly a decade learning homesteading, and what matters most to me now is helping you see that you’re more capable than you’ve been led to believe. You don’t need to grow up this way to step into self-sufficiency.It can start in your kitchen, with small shifts like cooking your own food and learning how to analyze ingredients. As you begin to question where your food comes from, it naturally expands into food independence, self-reliance, and even deeper curiosity about the systems around you.That curiosity becomes a foundational part of your life. It’s the motivating factor to start prepping, thinking critically, and building a life that can actually support you when things shift.Homesteading isn’t about perfection. It’s about starting, staying curious, and realizing you have more control than you’ve been led to believe.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:08] Why Gubba homesteads and who this lifestyle is suitable for[08:56] How the school system kills independent thinking and where that rabbit hole leads[16:04] The Dr. Phil appearance that made people question everything about her[19:39] Why Gubba stopped trusting big pharma, and started making her own skincare products[24:03] The waking-up story she hadn't fully told yet, starting with raw milk[32:56] How questioning everything led her to a truth she'll never un-seeRelated Gubba Homestead Episodes:The World Fairs, Aether, and the Great Reset | PodcastDragons vs Dinosaurs: Memory, Myth, and the Story We Were Taught to Believe | PodcastWhat if the Holy Land described in the Bible wasn’t in the Middle East at all—but i
