Episode 143 - What the Farm Taught Me This Year

It’s Christmas Day, and if you’re tuning in — thank you. Whether you’re milking goats, cooking a roast, working a shift, or hiding from the in-laws with your earbuds in — this episode’s for you.I’m looking back on 2025 with real honesty. It was the year where plans went pear-shaped: a knee replacement, a broken leg, a dog attack, and a veggie garden that never even got planted. But amongst the chaos, there were wins too — healthy goat kids, infrastructure progress, and an incredible show of support from my family (and you).So in this episode, I’m sharing:🎁 What 2025 taught me about resilience, rest and real life on a working homestead🎁 Why your worth as a homesteader isn’t measured in productivity🎁 What to do when you feel like you’ve achieved “jack-all”🎁 How I’m planning smarter (not harder) for 2026This isn’t your typical “look what I achieved this year” wrap-up. It’s a raw, practical and heartfelt check-in for anyone who feels like life got in the way of their homesteading dreams.Here’s to doing what we can, when we can — and being kind to ourselves when we can’t.Merry Christmas from Mojo Homestead 🎄🐐Catch you next week for the New Year episode!#ditchthestore #homesteadinglife #farmfailures #christmaspodcast #honesthomesteading #ruralaustralia #mojohomestead
