In today’s episode, we talk about the mindset that actually makes farming, homesteading and livestock work sustainable. Not ease, not perfection — but gratitude, grit, and learning to find the good even when the hard days hit. I’m sharing two real-life stories from our ranch that shaped how I approach challenges, and practical ways you can apply this mindset on your own homestead.

What You’ll Learn
  • Why gratitude is a daily management tool, not a once-a-year feeling
  • How accepting “hard” as normal keeps you steady with livestock
  • The value in finding the good inside messy or frustrating situations
  • What a difficult kidding season taught me about leadership and problem-solving
  • How a major off-grid setback revealed long-term clarity we wouldn’t have gained otherwise
  • Practical ways to build a resilient, realistic homesteading mindset
Key Takeaways
  • Gratitude keeps you grounded, especially when things go sideways
  • Hard days aren’t a sign you’re failing — they’re part of learning and building competence
  • Finding the good in a situation helps you move forward instead of getting stuck
  • Livestock and off-grid life will test you; mindset determines whether you burn out or grow
  • Long-term sustainability depends more on steadiness than skill
