    I loved this podcast. As a woman I too have reached the same/similar position regarding feminism and also challenge and being resilient humans who prioritise soul growth and time to be. Just so lovely to hear your calm words on these subjects and witness your relationship as well!

    1. Thanks Tuli, it would be good to see the next gen of radical homemaking feminists tell their stories, and connect up.

    Happy birthday and the day after and the day after, dear Meg. Keep up living your happy life, in the natural world filled with berries, tree-climbing children,
    a loving partner. Let them shine over the fear of what lyes ahead.
    Thank you for giving me your story. It has brought back many happy memories from my long life. It has reignited a flame in me I thought was fading.
    A, non-lifting, hug.

    1. Oh Ellen, we’re so glad to hear this. Thank you.

    Dear Meg you are an inspiration to me. As a young Mum feeling a little odd-one-out at times, I often think of you and turn to your words of wisdom and displays of bravery as I move forward guiding our children and family in a direction that follows our hearts. All my blessings with you and thank you for your vulnerability and honesty in this podcast in particular. x

    1. Thanks Jess, we’re feeling your courage to keep leaning into being you, despite what others around you want you to be.

    Happy Birthday Meg ❣️

    A heartfelt gratitude for your beautiful intimate sharing – thank you

    Admire so much of what you both have achieved-
    we are in the process manifesting a life on our farm – without the requirement of our mindset to work off farm – it’s just taking that leap of faith ❣️

    I send you love and gratitude for we are inspired by everything you do.

    With love
    Jenny

    Happy birthday fellow 49 year Meg. I’m writing a diary every day of this final year of my fourth decade. I want to live every day as fully and passionately as I humanly can and maybe read it back in my 50th year…and see if any wisdom is contained therein ha ha. I wrote at 39 as well, but just one day – the last day of 39-40. I felt that 49-50 warranted something a bit more indulgent. Lots of love to you pinnacle person on planet earth. X Julie

    Thank you for your beautiful reflections and conversation. As always, so many little (and big!) things to ponder…I found myself wondering on the elders in my community also & giving thanks for this. I too wish and attend to a grounded, yet wild, earthed, cyclical feminism the more I age ..Belated Birthday Blessings to you Meg!

    1. Thanks Eleanor, ‘cyclical feminism’ – nice!

    I love to hear you, so much!

I have a sweet-admiration for your community. Already hopping for your next post! Sending Love from a small portuguese city!

    1. Thank you for what and how you say things, Cláudia.
