The Biggest Grid We Escaped (It Wasn’t Power)

A lot of people talk about going off-grid. But what if off-grid living isn’t just about power and water, but about freedom from systems that quietly run your life?In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Burkinshaw from the Gridlessness YouTube channel to talk about what gridlessness really means. Jeff shares how his family moved from suburban life to a remote homestead in the Canadian wilderness, not out of fear, but out of a deep desire to live with intention.We talk about• redefining what it means to be “off-grid”• breaking free from debt and financial pressure• raising kids with responsibility, resilience, and confidence• the real challenges of independent living• and why freedom is worth the work it takes to build itIf you’ve ever felt the pull toward a simpler, more meaningful way of living, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.👉 Links mentioned in this episode• Jeff’s book: Gridlessness: Finding Freedom Off Grid: https://homesteadingfamily.com/gridlessness-book• Gridlessness YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Gridlessness • Everyday Homesteading podcast: https://homesteadingfamily.com/podcasts/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MORE ABOUT US!WELCOME!
