Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

Hard work. We sometimes underestimate the impact that hard work has on us. And I don't mean just the hard muscles, but the spiritual benefit of working hard and getting things done. And after you work hard, you play hard right? So today, i thought we would examine that a bit more.

I got a question in about ducks and it was involved enough that I thought it would make a great Wednesday topic. And indeed, I find it easier to brood ducks on the summer than the early spring, so today we will go through a bunch of stuff, from brooding, to caring for, to why you might want ducks or chickens or chicken over ducks. #HollerHatWednesday: Where is she and who is she with?

Originally, I was going to talk about eating frogs, but then I looked at something interesting. Y'all know I love to do CrossFit but that I injured my back moving a clothes dryer and have taken some time off right? But like all CrossFitters, I do tend to keep up on what is going on there. Well today, CrossFit corporate pulled out of Facebook and Instagram - and better yet, they published why. So w...

Today, we have an important topic for many of us - what to do when your time is not yours. Because there are times in almost everyone's life where you end up in a situation where for one reason or another, your time is not yours.

Today, I talk through something kind of personal - the thought process on whether to push through the hard time in my business or to pull the plug. This is a place everyone seems to come to when starting a micro business (under 5 employees) and I am right there. But more on that in the main section of today's show.

Today, we have a thought of the walk for Friday about Doers versus Takers. It really is amazing what happens when you gather a group of doers together and the become friends.

Don't get me wrong: I am a student of permacultur...

It is so easy to get hurt by what people say and do to you - even when those same people meant something completely different. Today, I have a reminder for all of us to not take things so personally. It is not about you and it is not about me most of the time - but we perceive the world through our view - and everything can seem personally targeted to us, even when it isn't. We will discuss that a...

Today we will talk about the annual process of preparing for summer in the pantry.
