39: Big Living on a Tiny Homestead With Jenny Boghun

Jenny was the first person I asked to be a guest on the podcast over 2 years ago, and we've had life stuff that has just conflicted, so this moment, finally getting to sit down and talk homesteading and sustainability and record it for me was just everything.
I met Jenny through a friend on Facebook and I just instantly loved her. I first went to her house to pick up a couple of gourd birdhouses from her, and her chickens at the time ran up to my car to greet me. The first time I actually met her, she showed me her beautiful place, with some furniture she had just thrifted and was fixing up - she's always got big projects under way - and we talked for a long time (she also has a NY accent that just makes you feel embraced). She is just full of smart tips to make life enjoyable. I'm going to have her back to go over the list of 23 Frugal Tips list, because she said she learned every one of them as a child!
Jenny also has a tiny house on her property that was just featured on a Tiny House show, and is trying out renting it this year - learn about it, and her, when you listen!

38: Sustainable Interior Design with Elizabeth Byler

Have you heard of Sustainable Interior Design? I think I had heard the phrase, but in my head I assumed it meant buying expensive, really well made products. While that is probably an option, it's not possible for everyone, and isn't the only way to look at Interior Design.
Enter Elizabeth Byler, Founder of Eden Environments, who wants to serve those who want to just be really mindful of what they're buying and using, and making it more sustainable personally. This was an eye opener for me, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it! And the story of how they got to this point was completely inspiring. Please listen to the episode to learn more - they can say it better than I can!
Elizabeth has a bunch of links to be reached at - they do virtual assessments, too!

40: Celebrating the Extended Life of Things with Megan Dougherty

Oh boy, she might be embarrassed when I say this, but Megan is kind of like a celebrity to me, and this was a BIG deal, and so extra fun that she loves to talk about chickens and thriftiness. We met by total chance on Linkedin, commenting on a post of fellow podcaster Jeremy Enns (if you have any thought of podcasting, check him out here ) about our unknown super power, and Megan's answer got my attention, and I reached out...
Megan is the Co-Founder of One Stone Creative, a Business Podcast Production Agency, is the podcast host of The Business Podcast Blueprint Podcast, and hosts a monthly workshop, sharing valuable tips for people in all podcasting roles. The podcast and workshops are so relatable.
She also has chickens and makes things last as long as possible, and has a secret tip for the best pie crust! Interested? Listen here!
