The Journey to Here Podcast

Have you ever thought about how incredible it is to be able to SHAPE an environment to SUIT your lifestyle, your needs and desires? We discuss micro environments and how we are created to be awesome.

We continue our answer to a listener question and spend some time with the chickens after they had quite a terrible experience... Spoiler: all is good with Custard :)

We talk about how each choice we make (or do not make) gives us an opportunity for something new, different, and another step in the journey.

In this episode we reply to a recent message we received. We answer the question about how we can limit the bombardment by media, and rather take control of personal growth and joy and development. Remember to reach out to us at hello@thejourneytohere.co.za - we look forward to hearing from you!

Name days, Birthdays, funerals and wine, for breakfast... A short episode about the importance of being there, for all the moments, as much as possible

We discuss how to create discretionary time by "blocking" large chunks of time out of your diary, and maybe get more productive hours out of the same day.

It's a milestone! Episode 50! A good time to reflect on what is and plan for what may be. We hope to inspire you to do some reflecting too...

It is a new year. Time to tackle some of those things we always postpone...because...the time is not right? But WHY are you waiting?

Know when to hold 'em, when know to fold 'em... There are actually quite a few things one can learn about life in a game of cards...

At the start of a new year we have an opportunity to revisit many of our systems and choices. We hope to inspire you to reconsider how to deal with data overload.

We released this episode mid 2024, to remind people how important it is to recognize a gift and compliment, and the value it can bring.

It is the end of the year and a good time to stop, smell the flowers, and reflect on all the good that was done...

We heard of the "Word of the Year" from Nicole Sauce @livingFreeInTennessee - and we will recommend you to think about it!

When we learn to observe the change in trends, we can also decide what to do what that information...

We chat very quickly about what this adopted holiday means to us :)

That morning coffee before work, a date night at the same restaurant, that walk with the puppy.. the routines and rituals that give "meaning" to our "contact points"...

We believe in abundance - in nature, in our options and choices, it gives us autonomy and joy.

How often do you look at something and think to yourself - surely someone has figured out a better way to do this or that...but surely...someone...has thought about it?

We talk about the process of graduation - and it may not be exactly what you would have imagined. It includes the discussion about questions on the homestead, questions about ethical and responsible living, and how to sometimes "Just do it".

How often do we mistake being BUSY with being EFFECTIVE. Surprise!! - it is not always the same thing! A brilliant resource is the famous book by Peter Druke, "The Effective Executive"

We had joy, we had fun... And as seasons change from one to the other, we are also preparing for what each one brings. A garden cannot only grow, and also in life we need some down-time for restoration and preparation. Listen to the end...a chicken might just come to say hi!

We explain how to use seasonal hot peppers to make a fermented hot sauce. To get the amount of salt to add - multiply the weight of the CONTENT of the jar with 0.025, or, multiply by 2,5 and divide by 100. Easy does it!

Once upon a time, someone was driving between two small towns. And then the car broke down...

We helped our friends in the village to harvest their grapes. This will become wine that will be distilled to become local brandy! Listen to this week's show and learn with us about the beauty of wine making!

There is a difference between multitasking, and what we prefer doing, called function stacking. In this episode we also talk about the brilliant book, Atomic Habits, by James Clear.
