Sometimes life throws you curveballs that force you to adapt on the fly. In this candid solo episode, Kelli opens up about navigating recent mental health struggles while managing her homestead, podcast, and day job as a single mom. When you're feeling overwhelmed, who shows up for you? Kelli shares how her inner circle rallied around her birthday celebration despite her uncharacteristic lack of enthusiasm this year.
Ever wonder what happens when chickens go broody without a rooster? Kelli takes us through her delightful "Three Hens and a Baby" situation—where three maternal hens collectively care for a single hatched chick after she introduced fertilized eggs. But homestead life isn't all baby chicks and sunshine; she's now dealing with her first-ever possum and raccoon sightings threatening her animals.
The episode delves into powerful personal growth concepts from Mel Robbins' "The Let Them Theory," exploring how releasing our need to control others' actions can lead to greater peace and emotional freedom. Kelli shares how the simple mantra "let them" has transformed her daily interactions and perspective on boundaries. She also offers book recommendations, Netflix suggestions, and updates on her plans to declutter her extensive Pyrex collection.
While Maccoy takes a break from podcasting during this summer season, Kelli announces upcoming guest co-hosts including her best friend Emily and Bigfoot Bob. Could a podcast rebranding be in the future? Tune in to this authentic, unfiltered conversation that feels like catching up with a good friend over coffee—complete with homestead drama, mental health insights, and the real-life balancing act we're all trying to master.
