Those images can feel paralyzing when you’re trying to build something real with limited time, money, or energy. The idea of total self-sufficiency often operates more like a story than a livable path, and holding it as the end goal can stop momentum before it starts.Today I’m joined by Kymber Rae, a first-generation homesteader-to-be, living on the edge of farmland and Boreal Forest in Saskatchewan, Canada. She’s renovating a mobile home on a budget, gradually working the land, and raising a new family while learning as she goes.This conversation centers on a grounded approach to simple living that values progress over fantasy and participation over perfection. There’s an honest look at starting a homestead incrementally, navigating relationships and parenthood, and building practical autonomy rooted in community, land, and time rather than aesthetic ideals.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[06:39] Kymber's calling to land and practical strategies for acquiring property[13:36] Food sovereignty through community interdependence[22:48] What’s to be said about eating food from the land you’re standing on[25:43] Time management for gardening and learning through trial and error[33:29] Food preservation methods, including canning, fermenting, and dehydrating[36:43] Creative water solutions without well access or plumbing[42:12] How badly you want it determines what barriers you'll overcome[46:19] Motherhood's impact on homesteading, homeschooling priorities, and choosing growth over comfort[55:08] Digital community as psyop, lost social skills, and healing polarized relationshipsResources Mentioned:Freedom Fighters with Curtis Stone | YouTubeVeda Austin | WebsiteDr. Masaru Emoto | WebsiteFind more from Kymber:Kymber’s Cottage | YouTubeKymber’s Cottage | InstagramKymber’s Cottage | FacebookFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.Enroll hereExplore hereNew Biology Clinic: Redefine Health from the Ground UpExperience tailored terrain-based health services with consults, livestreams, movement classes, and more.
