Summary

After six years of podcasting, I’m sharing why this will be the final episode of the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. I’m also giving a personal life update, what’s next for my business, and answering a few of your questions on sourdough, from-scratch cooking, and motherhood!

In this episode, we cover:

- The decision to sunset the podcast after six years and the thought process behind finally letting it go

- A look at the natural course of business: years of building, a season of maintaining, and now intentionally pruning

- An exciting home building update: nearing the end of our long build and preparing to move within weeks

- Q&A on cooking from scratch and fermenting foods even in a very small space like an RV

- Practical ideas for making sourdough work in a colder home and how to adjust timing based on temperature

- Encouragement around speech development and the wide range of “normal” seen across my nine children

- A look back at cloth diapering in earlier years versus choosing convenience in a different season

- Thinking through room sharing in a large family and why personality and season matter more than exact age

- How to handle sick kids, competing needs of small children, and getting through hard moments when you don’t have extra help

- One final goodbye and what’s next for us

0:00.0	So it's been a little over six years ago now that I have been podcasting every single week on this show.
0:06.2	I've enjoyed it. I've had some really awesome conversations. And so I'm going to share a little
0:11.0	bit in this episode why I've decided to stop this show and also what you can expect for the future
0:18.8	because of course I'm not getting off the internet.
0:21.5	My name is Lisa, mother of nine and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse

0:42.7	Now let's get into the show.
0:49.2	As you can likely tell from the title, this is going to be the last episode of the Simple Farmhouse
0:56.7	Life podcast. Now, I never say never because you never know when seasons may change. And even though
1:05.5	we are sunsetting this, the sun may rise again. I actually heard another podcasters say that
1:10.2	when they announced that they
1:11.8	were ending their podcast. But it is true for now at least and for the foreseeable future. I have
1:18.7	decided to sunset the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. You all may have noticed that we went down to
1:24.3	two episodes a week for the last couple months. I wanted to phase this out
1:28.8	very gently. I know a lot of you have been listeners from the very beginning. I actually started
1:33.9	this podcast back in 2020. So it's been a little over six years ago now that I have been
1:39.9	podcasting every single week on this show. I've enjoyed it. I've had so many awesome guest
1:46.1	interviews. I've had some really awesome conversations. I know a lot of you have learned a lot
